Requesting advice for a useful Dward Skald for Iron Gods

[Fidoc]

Hello all. In a month or so I am going to be in a group that is starting the Iron Gods adventure. We are looking at different character ideas, and so far it looks like our group will probably consist of a Ranger focusing on archery, a Gunslinger, a Fighter, a healer, plus my character.

I have a fantastic mini that I have had for probably 15 years that I finally got painted this summer that I would love to put on the table, it is a Dwarf musician from the defunct Confrontation game; he has no armor, has an axe in his right hand and is blowing on his bagpipes that he is holding in his left hand - it is a fantastic, characterful mini.

Looking through the class options, I came across the Skald, and thought it seemed like the closest match to my mini. My question to you much more experienced players (I have only played Pathfinder for a year, and that is with a Warpriest), is in light of the group make-up that I posted above, how would you recommend I build my character to make him a good complement to the group? I have only ever played a Cavalier and my current Warpriest. With the charisma hit that Dwarves take, I realize Skald may not be the absolute best class, but if I can make him effective enough to help the party and be fun to play, that's a win for me!

Thanks!

You will want the Urban Skald archetype. Boosting Dex instead of Str will mean that your ranger and Gunslinger will actually accept the Raging song, and Armour training on the fighter means they see some benifit from it too. Low(er) Cha is not a problem if you focus on buffs.

Urban Skald will give you the option to improve Dex with your song. I don't know about the fighter, but the ranger and gunslinger may initially find that more useful.

Urban Skald sounds interesting; I will check that out, it might be just what I am looking for.
