Still don't know what to do with sylph boon


Advice

Silver Crusade

So I traded for a PFS sylph boon, and I'm still not sure what to do with it. The best idea I've had so far is a sylph....investigator? I've already got two different wizards for PFS play and a magus. I have an investigator rolled up (as a human currently), but I haven't played him at all yet.

Can anybody offer any advice for anything fun to play that makes good use of the sylph's +2 Dex and +2 Int that maybe I am forgetting? Do any of the classes in the new Occult playtest require those abilities?

Worst case scenario is I either just hold onto it for later use, or trade it away for something else.

A hydrokineticis is thematically appropriate, but Kineticists need Dex and Con. The Con penalty on a slyph is not good.

Dex/Int is good for the Occultist, especially since you can have a +0 agile weapon at first level.

I'm going to have to download the playtest document tonight and read through it.

I think you mean Aerokineticist. You may wanna try out an alchemist or something. I've never seen one of those. Or now could be a good time to try out a more martial class (but not fully martial), like a rogue. Just some ideas to ponder.


Psychic uses Int, being a sort of psychic sorceror based on Int.

Witch is always fun.

Get the Sylph feat Cloud Gazer and combine it with any archery class. Get someone else to provide the obscuring mist or fog cloud effects.

I would suggest Investigator, as they can be an extremely effective support character.

You could multi class with a Storm Druid if you want to be able to provide your own fog clouds. The Storm Druid with the proper domain can spontaneously cast the Obscuring Mist and/or Fog Cloud. The druid armor restrictions aren't that bad since Investigator is already restricted to light armor.

Mail it to me. ;)

Jiggy, I would gladly do that if you happen to have any other race boon to trade for it. :)

Yeah. My mind swapped Slyph and Undine. I really kinda miss when they were just Air Genasi.

Hm... I do have this tiefling boon... Alternatively, I've also got Expanded Narrative and a couple of Numeria-related boons. PM me if interested.

Expanded Narrative is the GM star replay boon right? I already have one of those. I'm not terribly interested in any of the technology-related boon. I think I'll hold onto my sylph boon until I figure out something to do with it.
