1 of my friend in the coming campaign want to create a character based in Reddick but we all don't know how to maked I say he is a slayer by strength whit level in assassin's but other said he is a thug rogue whit assassin's, and the gm believe he is a fighter or a rogue dagger master whit assassin's
Can I ask you people what is your opinion in this matter
Tanks you.
i'd go with a slayer, make him a Weretiger-Kin skinwalker too that will give him:
Ability Modifiers +2 Dexterity, –2 Wisdom (+2 Charisma while shapechanged)
Alternate Skill Modifiers Acrobatics, Perception
Alternate Spell-Like Ability jump 1/day
and - See in darkness when he's changed.
their flavor text also kinda hit the spot:
" these skinwalkers are notorious for their fickle attitudes."
ether that or make him a tiefling with the 'Pass for Human' alt racial ability and take the fiend sight feat twice to gain see in darkness.
or maybe a Caligni
The slayer makes a better assassin than the prestige class assassin. Taking levels in assassin is actually going to weaken the character instead of making it stronger. The slayer is a full BAB class with two good saves and 6 skill points per level vs the assassins medium BAB with only one good save and 4 skill points per level. Gaining more slayer talents especially advanced talents can be more beneficial than the abilities of the assassin.
If you want to build a brutal skilled killer, the slayer is the way to do it. The combination of full BAB and proficiency in martial weapons give it the combat ability on par with that of a fighter. Add in studied strike and sneak attack makes them one of the best classes at taking something if they manage to catch their target while unprepared.
I agree that Slayer fits Riddick perfectly, and Human is fine racial choice provided you pick the right alternate racial traits to reflect his inherent ability to see in the dark (specifically: Dimweller. It trades off the 'skilled' ability for darkvision out to 60ft)
I'd use shadow piercings (eyes) for Riddick
Hmm... Bit of a spoiler but ...
The gm is creating a flaw to simulate the dark vision and the almost blindness of Reddick now the question is the player will go with the slayer but he said to us if he have 1 lvl of barbarian since he showed a lot in the movie his rage
If you are starting at level 3, ask him to consider using the variant multiclass option for Barbarian. The Slayer will get enough Talents to make up for the reduced feats, and you'll get plenty of Barbarian 'rage' theme without having to deviant from your main class.
