What class / build would fit a former god?


Advice


Hello

My group and I finished our 2nd homemade pathfinder adventure and we are considering starting a kingmaker adventure this time.

I've had this gimmick through our adventures that my character is always the same person that for some plot reason dies and reincarnates into the new adventure's world with a new class. The new class is linked to what he used to be and why he died.

TLDR : In our 2nd adventure the end of the scenario made my dragon disciple become the new god of the world when we killed the one that was ruling, but i plan on coming up with some lore so that my character also gets killed by adventurers after having reigned for a few thousand years.

Long version:
1st adventure : I was your common tank/healer Pelor preaching priest, but in the final fight i let the druid of our group died. That druid was the guardian spirit of the forest so i went in the forest to look for forgiveness but i ended getting killed by the spirits that didn't forgive me. Pelor took pity on me and shared his power with me before sending me to another world (we represented Pelor as a gold dragon in our scenario)

2nd adventure : I was reincarnated as a sorcerer/dragon disciple and joined a group of adventurers. The group ended up having to kill the currently ruling god and replace him by one of us (me). I plan on coming up with some lore so that my character also gets killed by adventurers after having reigned for a few thousand years. That way he'll get reincarnated in the kingmaker scenario.

Do you have any idea of what class or build would fit him best when he gets reincarnated in the kingmaker world?


You don't ever feel the urge to play a new character, with a different personality? Playing the same one forever seems like it'd get old eventually. For others in the group if not you perhaps.

Not my business, sure. Anyway, the medium character class seems like it'd be perfect for a character with many past lives to draw on. The class uses charisma which may be relevant if you're ambitious. Alternately there's a reincarnated druid archetype. Much less social but druid > medium in potential personal power. Or as a former dragon-god he might like a dragon-flavoured class, like an oracle with the dragon mystery perhaps.


An oracle of life seems to be a good fit. Your first incarnation was a healer and the second a spontaneous caster. This takes elements from both. It also gives you diplomacy as a class skill. I would imagine that as a presumably good deity you would have been more inclined to persuade than to simply command.

For the dragon aspect you could either take the eldritch heritage line of feats, or if your GM allows use the variant multiclassing


Living Monolith? Sorcerer? Aasimar or Tiefling (races)? I seem to recall a Prestige Class, Divine Scion or something.
