Cayden, cayden cayden.......
drunken warpriest of cayden
I like playing rogue-ish types, so I would most likely choose from street performer (bard), spy, swashbuckler (the archetype) or charlatan. A hidden priest would also be a riot!

For a Chaotic Good character?
Hidden Priest (Cleric) or Infiltrator (Inquisitor), if I were to go with a divine class. I would probably do this regardless of the alignment or the deity, though...
If I really wanted to play a good guy... I might consider going with a halfling rogue with a suitably subtle archetype, like the Spy or the Charlatan, and then work towards the Bellflower Tiller prestige class.
Court bard actively trying to get people to defect to rebels. Thats what I would like to run as.
I have a small list of ideas,
1.CG Mysterious Avenger Swashbuckler Kitsune
2.CG Liberty's Blade Warpriest of Milani
3.CG Kinetisit (dual path Aether/Fire)
4.CN Slayer
5.CN Mastermind Investigator

Barbarian - Drunken brute, drunken rager, urban
Bard - Chelish diva (duh), archivist, daredevil, demagogue, detective
Cleric - Evangelist, roving exorcist, hidden priest
Druid - um... which terrain types will there be?
Fighter - Corsair, unarmed, viking
Gunslinger - Not sure. Mysterious stranger, perhaps?
Inquisitor - Exorcist, infiltrator, iconoclast, preacher
Investigator - Infiltrator, mastermind
Magus - Fiend flayer
Paladin - Oathbound, redeemer
Ranger - Infiltrator, warden, skirmisher
Rogue - All of them? Okay, okay: Charlatan, chameleon, Kintargo Rebel, smuggler, and spy
Swashbuckler - Daring infiltrator, masked avenger(?)
Warpriest - Cult leader
Witch - Medium, dreamweaver
Wizard - Egorian academy infernal binder (a focused school rather than archetype, but hey)
Okay, so obviously the paladins can't be used for CG characters - and if I were to make one choice I'd go with a Zorro/The Phantom style swashbuckler (I keep forgetting the name of the archetype).

It's my number 1 on the post above yours.

BUT! If you were to play a chaotic good rebel fighting against House Thrune in Hell's Rebels... what would be your number-one choice for archetype to take for your character?
Aasimar Dawnflower Dervish.
Strong melee and solid ranged as well, utility and buff spells with some quality healing. Broad mix of skills. My favorite PFS character given the chance to rock out in a full-fledged AP where his role-play would be perfectly suited....
A tiefling kineticist, especially if there's an archetype that grants infusions to add anarchic, axiomatic, holy, negative, positive, and/or unholy energy to their blasts (aerokineticist with anarchic lighting, hellfire blasting pyrokineticist, geokineticist with axiomatic earth/metal blasts, holy water spewing hydrokineticist, etc.).

A Vanguard slayer, specifically a halfling vanguard slayer wielding a scythe to better appear as a humble farmer...the perfect cover for running slaves out of the city as a Bellflower Tiller!

Mysterious Avenger. Because who wouldn't want to play this?
My number one would probably be a Daring Champion Cavalier. I could choose Order of the Shield, Order of the Land, or even Order of the First Law.
If there were any archetypes for Rahadoumi I'd probably consider those too, since The Kingdom of Man is just to the south.

An Improvised weapons character. Nothing says rebel like busting out of a prison cell by slamming guard's faces into bars, opening skulls with mugs, slamming people trying to stop you with chairs, ceramic pots, shackles, other people. Seeing the panicked face of those that have seen what you are capable of, when all you have is a broken chair leg in your hand and confident glare.
I need no weapons. Chains wont hold me. You words are meaningless. Your oppressing rules will hold us no more.
I WILL BE FREE.
(Tiefling Brawler? Or Improvised master monk? That archetype needs a brush up though, it's severely lacking some streamlining UC/ACG got)

Well i would want to be an undercover Eagle Knight and so far there are no archetypes for those as far as i know.
Infiltrator for the Inquisitor and Dune Drifter for the Cavalier come to mind as interesting choices though. Ultimately whilst i can think of several awesome things for Lawful characters mechanically i find Chaotic characters less impressive so i only play them when the concept demands it for roleplay reasons. I wish i could play a Lawful character and take down the rebels!

Some sort of worshipper of Milani, whether Warpriest, Cleric, Inquisitor, or maybe a prestiged Evangelist!
| 3 people marked this as a favorite. |
Let's see...a small group of rebels taking on an Evil Empire (TM)?
An elderly warpriest who's been hiding out in a small village, watching over...
A young, naive ranger who can multiclass into sorcerer later on...
Teaming up with...
A beautiful young noble rogue of the House of Thrune who has turned on her family, all helped by...
A cynical gunslinger and his offsider, an enormous barbarian.
Joined by two amusing NPCs - an aristocratic butler and a foul-mouthed dwarf rogue.
Sorry...:) Just couldn't resist...
I'd want to be some kind of summon + Buff + social type character. So, summoner, cleric, oracle, or sorcerer come to mind.
I'd focus on worshiping Milani, and summoning celestial creatures while in disguise, and raising rabble behind the scenes when possible.

Chaotic Good?
I'd go Dwarven Evangelist (Cleric archetype) with the Madness Domain. I'd focus on summoning creatures and buffing the group, eventually using Plane Shift as a primary weapon. Excessive use of Visions of Madness to both buff and debuff in all sorts of different circumstances.

So basically a 5-pointed Star Wars.
Chaotic Good Bloodrager, Abyssal bloodline.
So far, only the Cavalier and Bard have chosen archetypes... Daring Champion and Demagogue respectively. Neither the Cleric or Sorcerer seem to want an archetype, and in the Sorcerer's case, he's not finding anything (Bloodline included) that screams "rebellion!" to him.The Cleric really wanted Evangelist, but with a Bard in the party it would be overly redundant and he's still debating going the Warpriest route instead.

CG Filcher Rogue. What better way to get back at Thrune for years of halfling oppression than to take their ritual implements when they aren't looking and de-pants them mid-speech.
A tiefling kineticist, especially if there's an archetype that grants infusions to add anarchic, axiomatic, holy, negative, positive, and/or unholy energy to their blasts (aerokineticist with anarchic lighting, hellfire blasting pyrokineticist, geokineticist with axiomatic earth/metal blasts, holy water spewing hydrokineticist, etc.).
Rats. No hellfire pyrokineticist option in Occult Adventures.
Still, devil-spawn tiefling (+2 Con, +2 Wis, -2 Cha; Resistances Acid 5, Cold 5, and Fire 5 to match devil resistances/immunities, instead of Cold 5, Fire 5, Electricity 5) with Pyromaniac* (as gnome alternate racial trait; replace Fiendish Sorcery and Spell-like Ability) and Vestigial Wings can work.
Although an esoteric magus with the Chakra feats looks pretty interesting, too.
*- Since it applies to "spells with the fire descriptor, using granted powers of the Fire domain, using the bloodline powers of the fire elemental bloodline or the revelations of the oracle's flame mystery, and determining the damage of alchemist bombs that deal fire damage," it should also apply to fire kinetic blasts and fire wild talents (IMO).
I've had fun with Sanctified Slayer rogues past APs, and that seems appropriate here.
On the other hand, nothing says "Cheliax" like Master Summoner.
CG Female Half-Elf Warpriest (Cult Leader) of Milani

Wondering that myself, since there's also a strong hint that there's an underwater excursion in one of the adventures, as well.
Why in the world would you go pyro in a campaign heavily featuring enemies immune to fire who are NOT fire subtype and therefore you'll be neutered for ~half the fights?
So the pyrokineticist has to use actual weapons in certain circumstances, instead of relying solely on their blasts... Or perhaps the pyrokineticist actually chooses a different element at 7th level (such as earth for metal/rare-metal to shoot blasts of silver), instead of concentrating solely on fire...

Some sort of chef or cooking based archetype that is strongly empowered by using specific herbs and spices, particularly mint, as it would give you a reason to rebel to save your class features, since all of the proclamations leading up to rebellion in the Player's Guide are either mildly annoying or very reasonable.
Except the prohibition of mint. Those scoundrels.

I'm thinking some shade of antipaladin and/or someone transplanted from Galt. If I'm going to be rebelling over mint and grain I want to let loose and do some cartoonishly evil crap.

This is kinda what the next AP is for, honestly... evil won't really fit that well into Hell's Rebels's themes. Of course, if your GM is willing to play along with your plans and doesn't mind rewriting a fair amount of content... feel free to try it out?

Antipaladins notwithstanding due to their codes, I generally find that characters sharing a chaotic alignment tend to relate much better with each other than to anything resembling law. CE player characters tend to stick close to the CN line, as NE is hardly an improvement with regards to party cohesion, and in that case, it's hard to imagine a worse fit for Hell's Vengeance (excepting of course an outright CG).
I guess what I'm saying is that I can see Hell's Rebels skewing chaotic and Hell's Vengeance skewing lawful much more easily than HR being good and HV evil.
With that in mind, I find myself drawn to playing a character in the Arsene Lupin mold; the man loyal to himself first and his heritage second, but who prefers things done cleanly without bloodshed or harm to innocents (though it never quite goes as he prefers). Mastermind, Infiltrator, or Psychic Detective investigator all seem good for it, though sadly none are compatible. Psychic Detective with the Orator feat sounds best, and cover the disguise aspect somehow else.

Not to me, no. But then, I have the advantage of knowing how the whole AP is structured and written and how many places there are for an evil character to not fit in nearly as well as a lawful good one. You and/or your GM may see it differently, I guess... but to me, the good and evil axis of the alignment is a MUCH stronger flavor than the law and chaos axis. AKA it's easier for law and chaos to mix than it is for good and evil, thematically.

Chelish Diva made in the mold of BRIAN BLESSSED! who swings a greataxe.
I think a Kineticist with a mixture of Aether and Fire would be effective, Fire for the damage and Aether for the utilities and physical damage options. I'm planning to do something like that for WotR, and I think it might work well here too.

Considering the possibilities of devils and burnt-out buildings, wouldn't water or earth be better choices than fire?
