A character concept that I wouldn't mind some thoughts on / help with choosing a few deities. Oh and build advice! XD


Advice


So I've thought up something similar to this but this is a rehash of an old idea I never got around to doing but I'm in need of a new PFS character! So I'm going to share his story, partially cuz PFS rarely provides the chance to have fun with my characters' character (eh? EH? c wut I did?) but mostly cuz I need help deciding on a few deities as I know little of them, same goes for the geography of Golarion... If you don't give a hoot about his backstory and simply want to help with the build I made a line of star thingies, that is where the build relevant stuff starts.

The character is Noburu, he is a Kitsune and a bastard child of Hakuto Ban, the highest ranking of the priest of (Some deity who disapproves of knocking up random chicks? perhaps against promiscuity? idk need some help on that). He was born with smokey grey fur which is believed to show a sort of spiritual taint, which they believe is due to the circumstances of his birth. Throughout his life he was treated similarly to that of someone who ranked very low in a caste system after his father basically gave him to the Church(?) as property, where he was treated essentially as a slave. His "peers" who would come to the chapel would mock him by only referring to him by the name "Dust," referencing his fur color and that dust is pretty worthless. Once Noburu reached maturity he essentially was given a sort of hush hush title that is basically the equivalent of what the Arbiter got in Halo, sent on suicide missions that would help their faith if he were to succeed, they'd send him out alone unarmed and wearing what could barely pass as some torn up padded armor or something, he was a service with no cost. Eventually, after he was sent on another death run, he went out as usual but instead just took off to port and tried his best to get away from the town asap. Simply adopting the moniker "Dust" in hopes his real name would never reach that his hometown and they would believe he simply died. Eventually coming across a Pathfinder Lodge, and seeking employment banking on the survival skills he learned seeming useful to them, in hopes that being a part of such an organization could offer some sanctuary should his father learn of his whereabouts. TEH ENDZ

Oh, perhaps a suggestion for Deity he could follow?

Ok, so I just wanna be a straight Unchained Rogue/Kitsune Trickster who punches people, since he was never given a weapon for these outings he is just a self taught fist fighter. No need to be "optimized" per se, but I'd like to be functional. I'm mainly going for skill monkey here, but wanna help in combat too. PFS LEGAL PLZ.

Stats after Kitsune racials are:
Str-10
Dex-18
Con-13
Int-14
Wis-12
Cha-10

Kitsune Trickster allows me to add Int as well as Cha to social skills and I'm taking a trait to use Int instead of Cha to add it twice to one of them, I haven't picked yet, since he got all street savvy during his travels which is partly why it is a 14, the other part is I don't think you understand how many skill points I want lol XD

Also I know this was super windy so my apologies, but if you made it through it and still have the energy to try to help then you are my new best friend. :P

The Kitsune Trickster ability and your trait do not stack, per this FAQ. They are considered to be bonuses of the same type. In light of that, I'd recommend stats of: 10/17/14/12/12/14. For a melee d8 HD class, I wouldn't go less than 14 Con.

Have you considered taking a level of (Unchained) Monk? It would get you Improved Unarmed Strike, a higher damage die, another bonus feat, better Fort saves, and either a bit of an HP/BAB boost or Will save boost, depending on whether you go Unchained or not. Two levels of Brawler could get all of that plus martial flexibility, or at least some of that with a single level dip, and seems to fit your concept.


Erastil has strong traditional family values, therefore the priest might disapprove of bastard childs.


Well that faq sucks... hmmmm, I demand an insane amount of skill points.... Unchained monk doesn't actually get good will saves oddly enough... Everything else is a good point, I just see skill points down the drain though... Perhaps if I simply go for something other than straight up damage, really focus on the debuffing, I mean debilitating strike or whatever is one thing but there are a number of other talents that allow me to mess with them even more. Maybe even go for the dirty trick maneuver?

Anyway enough random thoughts, on the stats what if I just switch the Int and Con scores?

@Ellioti- That sounds like a good place to start. :)
