So I want to make a jaguar warrior as the One from Mayan culture. and if I could get help on how to make a zorro character like the one from the old TV Show,any help and advice I can get to making these two characters work thank you
I was looking at starting as a fighter first level for the Jaguar warrior and then go Shaman from that point on. as using the battle and/or ancestor powers
and for the Zorro character I'm looking at a Magas but I have never used one so I'm not entirely sure how to make this work.

For the Zorro character, have a look at the Mysterious Avenger Swashbuckler. It's pretty much designed to be Zorro.
For the Jaguar Warrior, there are plenty of options. Personally, I would go with an Invulnerable Rager Barbarian using light armor and shield.
for the Jaguar Warrior, i was looking to go more for he is getting his powers from ancestors thats why i thought shaman with battle and the speaker of the pass archetype. Since historically Jaguar warriors were not rage crazed monsters but calculating warriors/ hunters
and i was looking at that but it seams to loos a lot of useful things for zorro if i got with the avenger...since the arcane mark would totally but the you know
For the Jaguar warrior you could also look at a Totemic Skald or Feral Hunter, both could play up the animal totem aspect.

Rage doesn't have to be crazed berserking. It can easily be described as a battle trance or spirit guiding you. The reason I don't like the Oracle or Shaman for warrior builds is that they are 9th level casters. Yes they can be effective at combat, but it's never going to be their primary focus.
I'll admit that arcane mark or brand makes for a good "z", it's not something you are going to want to spam on everything, and it 's the least defining attribute of Zorro. Magus just has too much magic to faithfully depict the character imo.
For the Jaguar warrior you could also look at a Totemic Skald or Feral Hunter, both could play up the animal totem aspect.
The cool part is I found that the Mayan weapon is in pathfinder that's why I wanted to make it, that I just inherited one of the sacrificial knifes that were used at the time...it's so awesome. And jaguar warrior's were known for the skin...but then again I could play it as when raging the skin turns them into a jaguar man. There are legend that some of the truly gifted jaguar warriors could run into a jaguar when hunting. ..
And for zorro I could see the trait working, the way I saw with the magus is with arcane mark I the brand I would. Use it all the time just, to put that "z" on all the enemies, ad he always did it you know. I'm looking for more fun than a power house.
