Cat folk songs more fun
|
The catfolk does sound like more fun, though aren't the stats high for the point buy? Counting the +2 headband, racial +2 Dex +2 Cha -2 Wis, and assuming level increases in Str, you'd start with 18 (17), 12 (2), 16 (10), 14 (5), 10 (0), 14 (5) = 39 points. Or are these stats assuming raging song (which would mean a starting 14 Str and 12 Con for 5+2+2+5+0+5 points = 24)?
Sansetsukon (three-section staff) is a pretty good weapon for the unchained monk - it's a two-hander so you get the improved strength benefits, has a d10 damage die and 19-20 crit threat range, and also has the blocking and disarm properties.
Do you know what the rest of the party will be like?
I believe you miscalculated your Catfolk's point-buy...
Taking off her 4th and 8th lvl bonuses to Str and her +2cha headband leaves her: 18 14 16 14 08 16.
if I remove her Catfolk modifiers it leaves her after point-buy stats as: 18(17) 12(2) 16(10) 14(5) 10(0) 14(5).
which equals a 39pointbuy
11,12,13 each cost +1 point
14,15 cost 2 points each
16,17 cost 3 points
18,19 cost 4
etc... so going from 10 to 18 = a total of 17 points
I would buy her : 16 12 14 12 11 14.
So with bonuses she would be: 18 14 14 12 09 18
as for which to play...
without knowing your party makeup or what your GM plans to throw at you, I say play the catfolk. You have her fleshed out more and even have a plan how to role-play her. You can always flesh out the oread and play her in a different game.
Skalds are incredibly reliant on team composition to be useful. You want at least two other people who rely on strength, and you want neither of those people to be barbarians or magi. It's a great class in the, like, two parties that can use one effectively.
If you go with the Monk, the sansetsukon and nine-section whip are arguably the two best monk weapons.

Her name is Fuzzy Love. I am gonna roleplay her like a bodybuilder dominatrix.What? I'm sorry, but what? This sound really... not table friendly. I myself wouldn't want to (or have a player at my table) roleplay a dominatrix. The image I get from the word dominatrix isn't playable in any way or applicable to a game even, it would just get in the way.
What's wrong with roleplaying a dominatrix? People are more than the sum of their profession and sexual preferences. Such a character is very possible even in a more serious game.
Add that this is clearly a joke character, and, well your objection is pretty much completely invalid.
The guard asks you what you're doing here. You crank your whip and tell him to beg like a dog to get an answer...?
I don't mean to disrespect anybody's preferences or profession, but I don't see how this is a "good" idea at all, unless you're playing in a speciall game.
You're being fairly disrespectful anyway. Would you assume that a character whose profession was thief would try to steal the king's pants while talking to them or similar ridiculousness? Because that's what you're assuming: That a particular profession defines someone so totally they can't do or think anything outside it. Which is bullshit.
Also, the name makes me think that what you're going for is a medieval furry-pornstar. With all respects, keep your sexual preferences and fantasies out of the game (this is applies to everybody).
Wow. That's seriously judgmental in a 'You're having badwrongfun!' sorta way. Stop dictating what play styles are okay for other people.
Yes, definitionally, playing a character named 'Fuzzy Love' is both sexualized and ridiculous...but that's fine if the game isn't being taken entirely seriously.
Have you really never played a light-hearted 'beer and pretzels' kind of game where jokes like this (or poop jokes) are appropriate? Because they're not exactly uncommon...
Yeah, I guess the question here is, what is the tone of the game? Is it serious? If not I'd advise against the Catfolk, especially if you aren't familiar with the other players already. Of course, all these things could be accounted for, and this character could be purfect for the game she'll be joining.
Also I giggled a little bit when I read the character name.
The problem I find with "beer and pretzels" games with zany and ridiculous characters is that the rest of the group is surprised as often as not.
If you want to play a ridiculous game, go for it, but make sure it's a ridiculous game before rocking up with a furry dominatrix. Or a special game, as the case may be.
Consider this another vote for monk.

Ok her stats are Str20, Dex12, Con14, Int14, Wis8, Cha18 with cha headband +2.
Just noticed your stats Is it better than my other stats?I would buy her : 16 12 14 12 11 14.
So with bonuses she would be: 18 14 14 12 09 18
Yes, because Oracle's are correct. Your second array is still 32 points. Pre-racial starting 18s are expensive.
