Character Suggestions {Chaotic / True Nuetral Party}


Advice


So per the subject line, I am entering a party that is either chaotic neutral or true neutral. The party consists of Barb/F/Sorc/Priest/Wiz. I initially thought maybe an archer paladin would be fun to play, but now am second guessing going in that direction because of the potential conflict due to the varying alignments.

I was thinking I would like to play a dps character. Anyone have any good suggestions that might fit this bill?

Tyvm everyone!

Strength/Buff Druid

While any concept can be specced through flavor to be chaotic/neutral, the inherent lawfulness of the paladin actually gets in your way, here. Dealing with apathetic/chaotic characters will be endlessly frustrating. The above concepts have some inherent chaos or neutrality built in, with the capriciousness of air and the juggling bard (which I recommend, btw, for making all your party's other DPR even better DPR)and the Druid's required neutrality.

For more themeleyness, try convincing your party to all worship the same CN or TN god. Take some flavor feats. Maybe fight with a mug or have a wasp familiar.


Archer warpriest is the closest I would try to a ypur palladin idea. If you are thinking ranged martial, a slayer might be good, would help to roumd out the party on skills as well. Spell warrior skald can do good damage, and would up the damage output of the party as a whole, I say spell warrior so that your song will benefit the barb, and not penalize the other casters.

Slayer, is that apart of the Fighter class?

Also, my apologies, but I forgot to mention our starting lvl is 15

No Slayer and Warpriest are both classes from the ACG (Advanced Character Guide).


Starting a level 15 ... >.> wow

the druid might be a good option for you then you can shapeshift into a pouncing murder machine flanked by a pouncing murder machine,I find simply applying animal growth, an NA amulet and permanent Greater Magical fang allows your animal companion to keep up into the higher levels, get it some barding too if you like.

Also in two levels you're casting 9th level spells, lol. Your party has a Wiz, Sorc and a priest which I'm assuming is a cleric already, so not going full caster feels like you might be missing out in this party.


Gish never gets old


Clerics (thats what you mean with priest, right?), fighters and sorcerers are all (often) low on skill points, so something decent skill-wise might be worth considering.

A ranger or bard, perhaps? Or an eldritch scoundrel unchained rogue.

Maybe you should take the opportunity to go a bit crazy. The party already has a competent composition, with arcane and divine magic and martials. So you perhaps need not worry about finding an optimal build.

Either find a character concept (as in background, personality etc. rather than crunch) that's cool and intersting.

Or find some fun-to-play obscure build. Since you're starting at level 15, this is a golden opportunity to try out prestige classes, multiclassing and builds that "come online" only with high level.

Any & All suggestions are most welcome Bly!

& correct Priest = Cleric


Are gunslingers worth building? & if so what builds are best?
