I'm going to get a chance to play through this AP soon, and I'm considering playing an old character with the following ability scores (before race but after 15 point buy and age modifiers):
STR 8, DEX 8, CON 8, INT 16, WIS 16, CHA 16
I'm considering this statline for two reasons:
1) I've always wanted to try playing an old-age character all the way through an adventure path and see if I can be lucky enough with them to survive;
2) We're using the Sanity system in Horror Adventures and having all three of your mental ability scores be as high as possible seems very beneficial for survival in said system.
Anyone got any thematic/appropriate/cool suggestions for races/classes/archetypes to play through Strange Aeons with using these ability scores? Particularly looking for ideas that let me use two or ideally all three mental ability scores well.
I don't think that character can survive in this AP, unless the GM choses not to attack him ever.
Lovecraftian monsters have ussually two things: sanity auras, and anatomies with multiple fanged tentacles, often huge in size. You will survive the aura.
In sny case, trying to be more constructive and helpful: oracle 1, Bard X, with the starknife weapon style for Desna followers, let you use CHA to attack and damage, AC, and REF saves (or CMD). Maybe two levels of paladin, later, to add CHA to all saves.
Main problem is low HP abd low FOR score.
I would strongly recommend against dumping con.
