Good Class / Race / Archetype / PP for flavor?

[Mavrickindigo]

Seeing as the Legacy of Fire Player's Guide was written for 3.5, I was wondering if there were any good suggestions for classes and races and archetypes and prestige classes for this AP. I love to be flavorful when it comes to making my characters, so I want something that would make sense and easily integrate into the campaign.

I was looking at Daivrat or Genie Binder for Prestige Classes, or perhaps some sort of genie-descended player race

Here is a copy of my character creation guidelines for my LoF game as well as a few pages from my wiki. I don't have time to include links right now.

Spoiler:

Starting city: Solku
Base of Operations: Kelmarane
Current Location: Kakishon

Character Creation
Middle Eastern names
Post your character here for review.
Abilities scores. 20 point buy. No dumping below 8 after racial mods. Except for Con, no starting stat above 19 after racial modifiers.
Hit points: As Pathfinder Society rules +1 each level. (d12=8/lvl, d10=7/lvl, d8=6/lvl, d5/lvl)
No evil.
2 traits, one must be a chosen from those in the Legacy of Fire players guide.
Posting a detailed background will warrent a bonus general feat that the character qualifies for (chosen from a list).
Posting adventure logs earns bonus 1 skill, hit point, or favored class alternative per level.
Armor: Keep in mind you are in or near a desert , as well as other hot environs for most of the campaign.
The AP is called, Legacy of Fire, so fire damage is something you might not want to focus on.
You most likely won’t have time to make use of item creation feats.
Starting wealth class average.

Classes
This AP tops out at lvl 15, but PCs may level higher.
Try not to plan builds based on certain equipment, it may not become available.
Anything on the PFSRD that is from Paizo with the following exceptions.
Alchemist: Vivisectionist needs reflavoring.
Cavalier: There is a good bit of dungeon crawl, so a large mount may will be a problem. The tactician fighter archetype would be a good way to thematically play a cavalier. Hell, I’ll let the Hound Master be an archetype. Another option is to take the Standard Bearer archetype for 4-lvls and multi with something else for all the other levels.
Fighter 4 skill points per level.
Gunslinger: Emerging guns.
Magus – SGG Vangard and ToS Spellblade may be used as alternate classes.
Ninja – call it assassin, hashashin, or Holy Slayer.
Samurai: call yourself a Mamluk (and pick a master); same mount concerns as Cavalier. The Sword Saint archetype would solve this problem. Possible masters: The Pactmasters, Pathfinder Society, Fort Longjaw, Sarenrae’s Lambert Citadel, Church of Abadar,
Hazic Kel-Kalaar, a mercenary company, city guard, or any other organization you might think of.
Sorcerer: This is a heavily genie influenced game.
Summoner: Great possibilities to be flavored with a genie theme.
Witch: May be reflavored as a Sha’ir. The familiar would be a “gen” but otherwise behave as a normal witch’s familiar. The 3.5 version of the sha’ir class can be read here to use as flavor and inspiration. You may switch the casting stat to Charisma.

Also, Advanced Class Guide classes are welocome.

weapons and armor wiki:

Consider flavoring weapons as middle eastern, Persian, Indian, etc…i.e. a jambiya can be considered a dagger, short sword, or kukri mechanics-wise.

Jian uses the aldori dueling sword stats and qualifies as a monk weapon(EWP).

Talwar uses the katana sword stats from Ultimate Combat.

Thanks.

Almost any class can be integrated into Legacy of fire some classes will have it "easier than others" but for character creation you should see if your dm has made an obsidian portal page. Or maybe just think about something you would really find interesting and then work from there.
