PFS Spherewalker Build Help


Advice


Hey ya'll,

I have decided that my PFS GM credit character should work a prestige class (since they'll leap up high enough to get there right away). The only one of PFS worth to me is the Spherewalker, but I am struggling with getting a solid foundation beneath it (while still getting in early enough for it to be worth it).

The best I can do right now is this:

1. Ranger (1)Iron Will*
2. Ranger (2) unnamed bonus feat
3. Ranger (3) Endurance*, unnamed feat
4. Fighter (1) unnamed bonus feat
5. Fighter (2) Deific Obedience (Desna), unnamed bonus feat
6. Speherewalker (1)
7. Evangelist (1)
8. Evangelist (2) (Spherewalker Aligned Class)
9. (evangelist til 12)

* = required for Spherewalker entry

That way by level 11 I have the full spherewalker experience, a little bit of religious flavor from the Evangelist (and deific boon), and I actually get to play it before retiring the character.

The problem is that I have no idea what would even be good for me to do on this character. I chose ranger because it has at least SOME spellcasting ability and spherewalker could level that, giving me some spells right away - even if the class itself plays better with charisma. I was wondering about some sort of knife-thrower to take advantage of the starknife stuff? I mean, I know it's not particularly good, but is there something that could help me out? I'm open to any race, stats, style at this point, if only to get some direction to start looking...

You could go:

Elf
Flying Blade Swashbuckler 1-5
Spherewalker 6-10
Flying Blade 11+

S 14; D 16 (14); C 12 (14); I 12 (10); W 10; Ch 14

Spend cash on Blinkback Belt (5kGP); Headband of Cha +4 (16kGP); a really good Starknife (~32kGP); Buckler (~9kGP) and Mithral Breastplate (~15kGP).

Focus on making your starknife enhancement bonus as high as possible as it aids in damage and hit.

Swashbuckler 5 will give you four feats, so: Weapon Focus(Starknife); Two-Weapon Fighting; Iron Will*; Endurance*.

You have no spellcasting, so you can take spell slots from any of Desna's domains.

You aren't going to be a powerhouse, but it is a solid build.

I don't think Spherewalker is a PFS legal option...


oh of course, because why would it be. PFS...

thanks pirate rob for sinking that ship while I was still safely in port - and thanks Bold Strider for the suggestion because I actually really like that build. totally doing this in my home game.
