character creation


Advice


1 person marked this as a favorite.

I want a bulky character like barbarian but I also want an animal companion, i'm going for an chaotic neutral or lawful/neutral evil. a good example of what i'm looking for is Victor kruger from the highlander series.


im kinda new to pathfinder but i understand the minimal amount to play.


The four Beginner Box classes do not have animal companions.

Using only the Core Rule book, take a look at the Druid (pages 51-54).

Are you playing Beginner Box? Are you playing Core Only?


You sort of described the cavalier class, but I don't know what limitations you have.


My DM is pretty loose with how we play. Im talking about all core classes, hybrid classes, and archetypes. Im also probably going to be a half elf for aesthetic.


I've already rolled aswell, and these are my stats.
STR - 17
DEX - 15
CON - 15
INT - 14
WIS - 17
CHA - 16


Cavalier is a lot like what i want, but I'm more of a chaotic evil/neutral, and it kinda seems like a cavalier would hold back my ability to act upon any evil desire.


however i could be in the order of the cockatrice, which is solely based on what i want to do.

Order of the Cockatrice basically requires you to be boastful, selfish and greedy.


the downside however is that no matter what i would have to further myself, in all my actions.because in certain cases i might just want to kill someone who would help me reach my goal for fun.


possibly i could be a slayer, but that takes away the animal companion.


I could become a gladiator, at least the tripod machine version. it has alot of what im looking for except the animal companion

Maybe a Mad Dog Barbarian?

Or take the Animal Ally feats...


theres a barbarian archetype that gives an animal companion i think

The so called Mad Dog!

Or spend 2 feats to get an Animal Ally for any class without an AC!


Check out Ed O' War's conversions. He has made a Beginner's Box version for every class in the full game.

From what you said, I would suggest hunter or ranger.
