The rules are as follows: all characters must be a “furry” race, all of them are Gods-Chosen and at least one class of their gestalt must be either a spellcasting, spherecasting, or wordcasting class, or Kineticist.
Just 5 years later, Nevix lost his godhood, which was then granted to Niera, and Nevix became her tutor for godhood as well until his death the next year. On his deathbed, Nevix bid her to find the Gilded One, whom Nevix banished to another world and stripped of their godhood 10,000 years ago, reunite them with their godhood, and return them to this world.

He managed to keep this urge in check until his ruler bombed an entire region to a sea of glass in response to 3 religiously charged murders on local soil. As he was strategizing a plan to assassinate his ruler, Niera came out of nowhere, revealing that he is the Gilded One, the twin of the Verdant One, and that his ruler bears his godhood. Niera then tried to teleport him to kill his ruler, but was interrupted in her casting by an attack, stranding Thomas in the Forest of Sorrow in this world. After offering his gunmanship to some adventures (and getting genderbent to the point that nothing in the universe could turn her back, rebranding herself as Rydia Fortuna), she finally kills her ruler and reclaims her godhood, turning to wordcasting for her magic.

Barter: Rydia may grant Wishes to other creatures, save that there is never a material component as part of the casting. Rydia may ignore wishes or demand compensation, however, including a second Wish for herself, though she must explain honestly what she will have happen and her price, and then ask if the wisher accepts the conditions (Boon, 9th tier)
Extradimentional Stash: bag of holding grade 4, save that the capacity is multiplied by 10, they always know how full it is, and the bag itself is weightless (Resonant, ? Tier)

This is what I've got so far. Any suggestions for the “?”s?
Bump
I thought you had more than this for Niera at least - slayer // warpriest IIRC? Are you unhappy with that, and if so why? There's no point writing up details for them if they run into whatever led to the rejection of your first idea after all.
I was trying to see if maybe there was a better combo, but if nothing came, I'd go back to my earlier choices.
Hello?
??????????????
Is there a better class combo for the above than Slayer/Warpriest for Niera and Conscript/Shaman for Rydia? I was also working on making a wordcasting varient of the Arcanist.
Better at what Lazaryus? You've got builds already and there's almost nothing to go on in terms of the background defining what the build should be, but I'll give it a try if you give me some idea what you're looking for.
I want Niera to be a blend of head hunter and either spirit magic or magic of life and death, and Rydia to be a gunman not necessarily gunslinger as there are some Sniper talents I really want to give her), but I can't decide whether to augment her gun prowess with curses or elemental abilities, although I definitely want wordcasting (I'll try my best to adapt a class for wordcasting if need be).
If that helps, great! If not, that's okay. I'm more concerned with the other fields, anyways.
EDIT: If it ever comes up, no, extracts and potions does not count as spellcasting as they're more of an applied scientific methodology than magic. I will, however, consider Kineticists and Shifters to be spellcasters, despite them not having proper magic.
Let's just skip the classes for now and focus on something else.
How about we focus on Godly Weapons, Godly Powers, and Tenets for now?
Rydia still has her 5th and 7th tier Godly Power slots open. So, which one is more powerful: Bear Market/Bull Market (a settlement-wide aura granting a bonus to a crafting or profession skill while also giving a penalty to another crafting or profession skill), or Extradimentional Stash (granting the God the extradimentional storage capacity of ten 4th grade Bags of Holding, but without weight and they can always sense how full it is; once Rydia gets this power, other gods also get this power when they get to that tier)?
Is one stronger than the other?
Anyone there?
Re bull/bear market vs. extradimensional stash, they're not comparable abilities. It's not meaningful to talk about one of them being stronger than the other. If Rydia was being played as a PC the stash might be used more easily but as I understand it that's not the plan?
I think Rydia should have one of the talky classes - bard, or an appropriate rogue archetype, maybe a sorcerer. A bard or sorcerer could be a wordcaster or a rogue is a workable shooter. In gestalt the caster might be paired with a full BAB class good at shooting (gunslinger or fighter probably), the rogue with some sort of spellcaster which could be good at buffing herself like perhaps an eldritch archer magus.
Well, say Rydia gets Extradimentional Stash at 5th tier. Being a Resonant power, once Rydia hits 5th tier, all of the other Gods-Chosen (which might include PCs at some point, though I doubt it) get that power as well provided they are at least 5th tier.
Its value depends strongly on whether the other Gods-Chosen are mostly allies or mostly enemies then.
They shift alliances a lot, though the newer Gods-Chosen tend to side with their mentors in most things. A God-Chosen without any mentoring is viewed by other Gods-Chosen as dangerous and unstable. Most mentoring is typically done by an existing God-Chosen with a different portfolio as most former Gods-Chosen are either dead or unavoidable to tutor their successors.

I have adapted the Arcanist for Words of Power: Arcanist Wordcasters keep a spell book of words, much like their Wizard counterparts, save that they must prepare effect and meta words instead of wordspells and may cast wordspells from their prepared words at any time, provided that they have an appropriate level spell slot open.
Arcanist Wordcasters alwasys have all target words and the Boost meta word prepared. They can prepare a number of additional effect and meta words of each level as shown on Table: Arcanist Spells Prepared.
What if I went Seductive Sleuth Investigator (from Book of Passion; to use inspiration on face skills without spending uses of inspiration)/ Blade Adept Arcanist (bond with another sword cane, I guess)? Both classes will use Words of Power rules.
