General Character Creation Guide

[magispitt]

I am very sorry to be making a post requesting something I know already exists, but my search-fu is failing me.

I distinctly remember a man with the avatar of a turtle making two different guides for pathfinder characters, one was more generally focused and the other was more defensively focused.

I think the first had something to do with aiming to succeed at tasks such as saves at least 50% of the time (so on an 11), though I forget what the benchmarks for the defensive one were.

If anyone knows or remembers what I'm talking about, a link would be a great help

Thanks in advance

Edit: the reason I'm asking for this is because I'm trying to make a new first level character. I was allowed to draw from the harrow deck of many things and got the mountain man and the snakebite. We're allowed 35 points that can be spent on race points or points for stat buy, and are first level gestalt characters. I'm pretty bent so far on a tetori monk and a drunken barbarian gestalt, and am looking around for good defensive racial traits - any ideas?

I don't know the specific guides you're talking about, but here's the list of various guides, which might have them.

There was a long thread on tbe advice forum, a coue of weeks, maybe a month ago, about benchmarking stats to cr levled averages. Can't seem to find it at the moment.

Follow the link Fromper provided and scroll down to the "General Character Building" section to find the guide that Java Man mentioned.

Keep in mind though that some people have found that the guide is a little on the min-maxed side of "basic benchmarks" unless the author has tweaked some things after getting feedback. It's called "Bench Pressing: Character Creation by the Numbers".
