Crownfall - Player's Edition

[Michael Talley 759]

This is one of my attempts to see about helping others build characters for this AP. While an intrigue setting combat/casting/hell-breaking-loose will happen. Here is a list of books and ideas I have for some character concepts and builds that should help players build characters as well as feats to look into.

Pathfinder side books
1)-Knights of the Inner Sea (several knightly codes that will help LG in a revolution as they are)
2)- Heroes of the High Court
3)- Inner Sea World guide
4)- Taldor First Empire
5)- Taldor Echo Of Glory
6)- Inner Sea Races
- These will all help flesh out a character personality based from Taldor.

Class (Archetype) Ideas
Alchemist (Alchemical Sapper)
Bard (Arcane Duelist, Arcane Healer, Court Bard, Daredevil, Detective)
Cavalier (Courtly Knight, Musketeer)
Cleric (Crusader)
Druid (Fey Speaker, Pack Lord, Urban)
Fighter (Archer, Dragoon, tactician, Two-Weapon Master)
Gunslinger (Musket Master)
Inquisitor (Black Powder Inquisition, Preacher)
Magus (Soul Forger)
Oracle
Paladin (Divine Defender, Holy Gun, Sacred Shield)
Ranger (Dandy, Trophy Hunter, Urban Ranger, Warden)
Rogue (Charlatan, Investigator, Rake, Snoop, Swashbuckler)
Sorcerer
Swashbuckler (Daring Infiltrator, Inspired Blade, Noble fencer, Musketeer)
Vigilante (Gunmaster, Warlock)
Wizard (Schools: Evocation or Focused School: Admixture)

Sorcerer Bloodlines
Accursed, Arcane, Dreamspun, Fey, Imperious, Maestro, Serpentine, Verdant

Oracle Mysteries
Battle, Bones, Flame, Life, Lore, Nature, Shadow, Time

Curses: Tongues [Fey], Haunted and Shattered Mind [Iron Gods AP]

These are a few ideas I had when I started writing my own Taldor based Campaign. Was going for a Musketeer theme to it. But it looks like those notes might help a few other GM's for helping PC's with ideas.

[deuxhero]

Grumbaki's "Vigilantes [...] make the best "noble" class in the game" build

[Crystal Frasier]

I will point out that Green Ronin's Freeport camapaign setting for Pathfinder specifically has a noble base class.

[Stone Dog]

May we consider that an unofficial endorsement of that class for the AP?

[Crystal Frasier]

Unofficially. But I do love the Freeport setting overall and highly recommend it

[Joseph Davis]

I was also thinking the Mastermind Investigator (Advanced Class Guide) would be super fun for this one.

[Davor Firetusk]

On a slightly different note I played PFS scenarios 9-8, 9-11, and 9-13 and the first 2 set-up the 3rd quite nicely and the events of 9-13 Lion's Justice happen at the same time as Crownfall and in a very fun way. If I wasn't doing 2 APs already I'd be pushing hard to jump into this one right now.

[Lanathar]

Can I ask the OP why so many suggested archtypes are gun based ones? Is this a Taldor thing or due to your comment about the end about trying to do a Musketeer theme?

Originally when I was building a Taldor Campaign I was merging Victorian England style setting with the Theme of the Three Musketeer's. Swashbuckling seemed to me to go hand and hand with them, likely thanks to cinema. But this was also before the newest Book of taldor Campaign Setting had come out.

You might want to consider the Silksworn (silks worn, not silk sworn) Occultist archetype who gets his powers from dressing up posh in fancy clobber.
