Human (because it’s still me) arcanist. Maybe a brown fur transmuter, so I can become a cat, curl up in the warm and if anyone decides to annoy me, polymorph them into a mouse.

As long as you can get immortality (with your life remaining fully usable), you have time to solve the other problems, like the expense of the diamonds you need for casting Wishes.

Immortality would be the worst form of punishment. "May you live forever" is an insult I save for those I truly hate.

... may you live with your mistakes forever... may you live with your loss forever... may you live long enough to watch all you love turn to dust... may you live long enough to give up on love... may you live long enough that everything that brings you joy dies...

May you live forever in a loveless, joyless eternity with an ever-growing memory filled with loss and regret...

Immortality is a curse, not a gift. Look at DC's Andrew Bennett (iVampire)... he is constantly looking for a way to end his own miserable life. He goes to such great lengths to kill himself, that he agrees to (and does) end the age of humanity... Dr. Fate gets there in time to witness it, but not stop it... a vampire so focused on ending their own immortality that he reset the cosmic clock, ushering in a completely new era for the whole universe.

Immortality surely leads one to the dark side... given a long enough timeline, immortals will eventually snap... the weight of their grief, the overwhelming boredom, the disappointment... nobody stays good forever.

May you live long enough to become an evil tyrant who tries to destroy the world so that a group of adventurers will band together and set about to break your curse of immortality so thst they can kill you and you may finally see peace… wait that wasn’t one of the options…

I don't think any of the forms of immortality mentioned so far are inescapable. The wizard or alchemist can just die violently. The heavens oracle can just choose not to reincarnate.

if i eer get old and the godwho send me tere allow to get the dragon ascendat dragon prestige class i will taked if bo well i will try to live a mithyc life

Thank you... that made me laugh until I stopped.


I'm boring and would go Wizard 20. Probably necromancer because I love necromancy. Then I would probably start WWIII in my attempt to clean up the world.

you mean ww1 since golarion never have a real ww in history, second thor baphon is already doing the necromancy war to destroy the world using undead and necromancy so you need to be more creative like a conjurer or transmutation and create an army of golems and take golarion by machinery


"You're doing it wrong".
The question, chum, wasn't "what does Zephri think should be done?".

The OP never specified we had to be on Golarion, so I would be here on Earth where my friends and family are. If I had to start on Golarion I would worldwalk away.

Even a level 20 commoner is super human. You shouldn’t have that much trouble generating wealth. 20 ranks in any profession, perform, or craft would make you the best in the world at that specialization.

What would 20 ranks in Perform (Oratory) and Perform (Sing) plus the Prodigy and Skill Focus feats in both of those skills do?

Realistically, such a person has never existed in our world. It's hard to understand the influence they would wield.

A great public speaker with the singing voice of an angel? If you get a good songwriter working for you, you might make it rich… but without Profession Songwriter you probably won’t do to well all on your own with those skills… of course you could audition for a major talent show and get hooked up with a songwriter that way… perform makes you talented at the delivery but not necessarily the creation…


Most people in the modern world with any kind of training or education are going to be experts not commoners. A commoner would be a high school dropout working at McDonalds for a living, or a migrant farm worker with no education. Since NPC classes have no real reason not to multiclass even if you started out as a commoner you would probably pick up level as an expert after gaining a few levels. Anyone gaining 20 levels is going to have more of them in expert.

That would allow the character with the two perform skills to pick up a few ranks in other things that would allow them to be more successful. With 6 + INT modifier your singer can easily take PS or craft songwriter. The rest of the skill points can be used for things like bluff, diplomacy, sense motive and other skills to make them more successful. So, any 20th level character is going to be able to be extremely wealthy in a modern world.
