If Stargate SG-1 team was a pathfinder group


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion

Sczarni

Hello everyone. I am just wondering, if the Stargate SG-1 team was in pathfinder, what races and classes would they be. I am just wondering on O'Neill, Carter, Dr. Jackson, and Teal'C. Although I have no true hatred of Jonas Quinn, I am only looking at the main four and that Quinn was basically the same as Jackson.

I am having trouble classifying Col O'Neill and Major Carter ain terms of their class. They very well could be Human in terms of race although O'Neill could be Aasimar with his being slighter more along the evolution path in terms of the human evolution than Carter and Jackson.

Major Carter is the team member trained in disable devise since she is the main one always picking the door locks.

Dr. Jackson is either a Human Wizard or Human Investigator in my assumption with his vast knowledge of things and the languages and dialects he knows. Probably a vast investment in Linguistics along with Knowledges (Including: History, Local, Nobility, and possibly Geography).

Teal'C could be seen as either a Half-Orc or an Orc that has turned to favor the team's goals. I would build him as a two weapon fighter using the Orc Double Axe to be seen as the Jaffa staff weapon he uses in the series. In terms of class, he could be either a fighter or a ranger but I have him as a ranger for the class better suits him for flavor purposes.

Let me know what you think and what views you may have. I am just curious on what the team build up would look like if the team was on Galorian.

Surely Dr Jackson is an Archaeologist Bard no?

true, never looked at the bard archetypes

Well I'm more a realist, in that everybody in SG-1, including Teal'C are human - in fact except for the symbiotes, and those tall horned aliens that once served as a host in some of the episodes, there are no non-humans in the entire series and movies. There are a couple oddball ones that are more possibly intelligent monsters more than races.

Dr. Jackson is an archaeologist (bard). I think Dr. Carter seems to be an investigator with perhaps added alchemist levels (or a full alchemist) as she is a scientist. Colonel O'Neill is a ranger or slayer, since he's special ops in addition to pilot. Teal'C is no doubt a barbarian, though perhaps an urban one.

Of course, like I said, I'm a realist, so obviously I'd do it differently than you.

I don't think you watched to the end of all the series there...

I editted my post.

And you're right, I forgot the Thor's race, and the replicator race, but most of the other "aliens" in my opinion were redistributed humans, although they called themselves something else. The giant aliens were "gods" more than a race, thats arguable. I'll stand by my SG-1 as all human, at least.

I know the team was all humans. I was trying for a flavor angle instead of the realism. In realism, O'Neill can be seen as having levels of gunslinger.

Again, I was trying to go for flavor. The orc double axe being a close realism item to Teal'C's staff weapon without the blast capabilities.

In both terms, the Unas could be the Nagaji species.

firstly.. crap ton of of non human races.

Jackson is so hard core an investigator. He rarely if ever buffs anything for people honestly. and he uses his mind to fight-very much studied combat. The only problem is the lack of magic (ascension) stuff. Unless you allow for arcane shield and blast to be expended via extracts. otherwies everything else is filled by exracts nicely.

Jack Paladin without the alignment isues, and choses the archetype with no magic (either use the replaced glow power or don't) (though he falls pretty well into that alignment, just less strict and follows his own code more). He has at times healed himself, he's very good at combat. and very good at his saves. He is a bit of a dork. but people like him naturally. Even enemies respect him. So while he doesn't have much point sin stuff like diplo, etc, his charisma isn't bad. Alternative is one of hte gunslingers 5 at least

Carter. She, I feel like is a magus or arcanist with early entry into Eldritch knight. she isn't as amazing at fighting as tealc or jack. but she has large intelligence and has used various weapons-including gouald, replicator, asguardian, wraith, and her own energy weapons of her own design. Which could be replicated via myrdimatch/magus w/ a gun or arcanist with mostly combat spells. This would allow her to have all her tech ability, weapon ability, and combat ability. Pick up the traits for trap disabling etc. or dip into the right one. An alternative is a intel based into arcane trickster. Since typically she fought flank style in the show with tealc daniel her dad or oneil.

Tealc.. hum.. class wise is a bit harder.. Barb or Bloodrager feels the best. He doesn't go angry that often but boy when he does he basically kills 30-70 people by himself in the process. needs a double weapon of some kind... like axebutt rifle but better.

All of them should have some for of long range though.
only Tealc used melee often. Outside of that-excluding fist fights- Daniel used melee weapons more often than jack or carter. but really all of them should use firearms.

Honestly Quinn isn't just like jackson.
Quinn is more of the bard. He actively talks all the time, improving moods having conversations for fun with peole rather than knowledge likee jackson. He's had a few tricks here and there but he was solidly more support than a fighter in his own right.

Edit:
in the end Jackson ends up as the omst evolved human, over Jack and the other atlatean genes (Do note they originally called it advanced but it ended up being just having the genes from the past rather than evolved. though jack was in fact further down anyway). Jackson's re-lifing via acension pushed his body and genes further along the line. Allowing for all the stuff that happens to him.


I'd say ascension might be a yet to be defined prestige class, that Daniel gains, but isn't applicable to whatever his normal class is.

None of them are spell casters. Period. Jackson is a sleuth investigator. O'neill is either a trench fighter or gunslinger. Carter is a technic scavenger rogue. Teal'c is a savage technologist barbarian. They just come from a guns everywhere setting with free access to stuff from the technology guide.

If O'neill is a Gunslinger, then Carter has to be a Gunslinger also. She may not have been in special forces, but the character logged many hours of flight time. She is also an excellent marksman. There was that episode where O'Neill was showing off the P90 vs. the Staff weapon. Carter easily shot a moving target.

If anything, give her 5 levels of Gunslinger and the rest in Alchemist.
She and O'Neill would have several ranks in Profession: Soldier.

I'd give Jackson Amateur Gunslinger at some point as he used various guns over the years but mostly a pistol.

For Tealc, at least 5 levels of gunslinger. In the later years of the show, he stopped using the Staff and used a P90 or favored a shotgun when fighting Replicators. There were several episodes where he would hold two P90s at the same time.

Maybe there are different versions of these characters depending on the years.


I used spellcasters to replicate technilogy and ascension powers they use semi regularly throughout the series.

Jack uses the least of anyone, but he has self healed when he was "upgraded"

Jackson uses all sorts of ascension powers and knowledge throughout the series.

Sam on the regular has used gould tech for various abilities, and has made herself a laser canon, a shield, mastered tech that let her create weapons out of nothing.

I'm simply choosing to replicate them at their highest power levels and in a semi decent team for games (sans healing issues). because other wise they will all literally just be fighters with different focuses, and one investigator without extracts, most of the talents or studied combat removed. All using some form of firearm.
And where is the fun of playing that in a pathfinder game?

Thinking on it. Tealc could also be a brawler. He changes how he fights so often and quickly throughout the entire series and in atlantis guest stars.

Jack is an order of the Cockatrice cavalier.
Sam is a wizard (based on the idea that in a space opera, technology servers the role that magic does in a fantasy setting)
Daniel is an archaeologist bard as others have said
Teal'c is quite clearly a monk.

Silver Crusade

Quinn wasn't an ordinary human, he would have the Advanced template.

But he didn't have a good player, who kept forgetting about his luck when he was close to death.
