Hello pathfinders,
long story short, in a Roman Fantasy Homebrew Campaign where I'm a player but also "deputy-GM" our big party of 8 PCs has partially became our setting version of Marvel Cinematic Universe Avengers:
We already have a Human (Roman/Etruscan) Scarlet Witch, Human (Viking) Thor-esque character, an Elvish version of Captain America, a Dwarf Quicksilver... We also have a Dwarf Ironman, a Kitsune Black Widow and an Halfling (medium sized) Hulk as allied NPCs.
As a deputy-GM I'm currently in charge of building some NPCs who could potentially became new cohorts and/or PCs.
One of those will be our version of The Vision, but I'm not completely sure what will be the best way to build it.
Current state of mine brainstorming:
From Avengers 2 movie we have seen: An artificial body and intelligence, owns one of the Infinity Stones (the Mind) in his front, able to fly, mental combat (when fighting vs Ultron), and blast too.. [lifting Thor's hammer is not something I'm concerned since we haven't any security mechanism in our own Thor's hammer]
So Android seems the more appropriate race choice, the Mind stone and the ability of mental combat make me think about a psychic magic user class, but I'm not sure if a Psychic or a Psychic Detective Investigator could fit more.
The blasting part could be done in both cases with the Laser Blast Psy-tech discovery (Occult Realms) for both of the classes (we are at level 11/10 so even this build will be at those levels).
Drawback: the Empathy tax feat for both builds...
I'll gladly appreciate any kind of ideas, suggestions, advice and so on.
Note: 20 buy points for this kind of NPCs, all Paizo stuff are legal in our campaign, adjusting flavour when needed, and no 3rd party are allowed (unless I can convince the main GM there is no-other-way to make that character concept fit)
Bump.
Shameless bump!
Reopening this thread.
I've talked with some friends about this character concept, and after some discussions we agreed that the Vision saw in the movie could probably be better built as a Kineticist (Earth and Air?, Fire and Air?) instead of a Psychic/Investigator.
Not that I have anything constructive to add, but I flagged the thread because I think it would be better served moving it to the Conversions forum.
@Craig: changing game system is not something doable, and I'm trying to simulate only few powers of that character:
Flying ability (Wings of Air Wild Talent), Blasting (base Kineticis class Blast). What it's missing is the ability to Mental Combat with an Ultron-like character, but I don't think we will need something like this in a fantasy setting.
@Christopher: I was not sure if the Conversion forum was the right to open this thread too, but since I'm asking advice and ideas about how to build a pathfinder character and not converting it form another system, I choose to open this thread in the Advice Forum.
