Making a flying can of metal


Advice


Hello, I am quite new to pathfinder even if i have general knowledge of roleplaying games and of the 3.5 ruleset.

I'm planing to start a game with a dm that is a friend of mine. Its gonna be a fairly low-lvl campaign. For our character he allowed any published paizo book as long as we got a transcript of it that we can show him.

I was planing to make an angel-blooded aasimar oracle of metal. The goal is to get wings as a "capstone" of sort at lvl 11 if we make it to there. I was gonna roleplay it as someone raised by a forger and fascinated by all things metal.

I wanted some advice on the character build and especialy on feat/skills i should take or items i should look for. Heres what i was planing for now:

angel blood + angel flesh (for theme, its metal flesh after all)
angel wings

power attack
combat reflexes or maybe vital strike?

for revelation:
dance of blade
armor mastery
skills at arm
riddle of steel (for the fluff? if i dont have too many important revelation to take)

I was planing to fight with some kind of polearm (maybe a lucerne hammer? they look way cool)

While for now i'm just counting on going full oracle i was juggling with the idea to do a 2 lvl dip in paladin (forge metal to protect others maybe) and skip on the skill at arm revelation.


I know this is a late response, but I was browsing the oracle threads...

Angel-blooded aasimar is definitely a solid choice, as you get bonuses to your 2 key abilities. Angelic Blood is a solid choice, but I'm not as sold on Angel Flesh (although it does fit thematically) - Angel Wings seems the better choice, but you will have to avoid better armor/heavier loads.

Power Attack/Furious Focus and Cleave would be some feats I'd look at early on. If you go with a reach weapon, then I'd agree with Combat Reflexes as well.

Don't bother with Riddle of Steel, it's not worth it, especially if you don't think you'll make it to later levels. I'd go instead with Iron Constitution and Vision in Iron (in that order).

Just my 2 cents...


well you can't get angel wings without angel flesh.

However, if you have the lame curse, your speed can never be reduced by armor, so I guess you can use angel wings with heavy armor. (you still only have 30 foot flying speed however, not very good.)


Angel Wings only requires Angelic Blood.
