Okay, so for those of you who don't remember my original post - which will be most of you by now - I made a few months ago talking about my plans to convert from Pathfinder 1E over to 2E and asking for advice on a character concept I was working on.
This character was at the time a Human Sorcerer with the Changeling Versatile Heritage, Aberrant Bloodline, and Cook Background, along with the Veil May Ancestry feat. I originally intended to use my skill increases to boost Deception up to Expert, Occultism to Master, and Cooking Lore and Society to legendary.
I won't go out and list all the feats I originally intended to pick up because, aside from Sorcerer class feats, they're mostly but not entirely the same and thus the list I'll provide later on will be just as good.
Now, I got a lot of feedback. The primary recommendation was to pick a new background and pick up Cooking Lore at a later date with the Additional Lore feat, which was a really good suggestion. Other suggestions included changing class from Sorcerer to Witch because Witches use Intelligence as their primary spellcasting attribute whereas Sorcerers use Charisma, and most of my character's skills would be Intelligence-based, and picking up several other lores related to cooking rather than directly buffing Cooking Lore.
Now, of course, I got distracted because I taking two classes at Community College over the summer, however I recently returned to the character concept, and while I'll only really be implementing the first suggestion, I've had a lot of time to think about the character concept and make a few changes of my own.
Now, the realization that prompted this change was that while I did have an overtly Lovecraftian character concept, that didn't necessarily necessitate going only for overtly Lovecraftian character options...
So now, my new build for this character concept, while still a Human Veil May Changeling, is now a Bard with the Teacher background instead of a Sorcerer with the Cook background. She starts off with the Enigma Muse and I intend to use the Multufarious Muse Feat to pick up the Polymath Muse as well, because her muse is the Great Race of Yith.
The skills I intend to get up to Legendary are Cooking Lore, Elder Mythos Lore, Occultism, Performance, and Society. Some people may be confused as to the shift from Sorcerer to Bard and Deception to Performance, however I realized that literally the only way I intended to use Deception was for disguises, and the Polymath Muse allows me to use Perfomance for that instead, so since Performance was a heartbreaking last cut from the original Sorcerer build, I might as well use it instead for the Bard build.
I intend to grab the Seasoned feat at 2nd Level and use Additional Lore to grab Cooking Lore at 3rd Level, and pull something similar with Elder Mythos Lore at 6th Level and Disturbing Knowledge at 7th Level. I also intend to pick up Fascinating Performance, Aura Sight, Unmistakable Lore, Quick Disguise, Doublespeak, Legendary Linguist, and Legendary Professional.
I will end by stating that, since Legendary Professional makes you known throughout the land for your Legendary Lore Skills and my character's Legendary Lore Skills are Cooking Lore and Elder Mythos Lore, my character would either be known throughout the land for both her cooking skills and vast array of terrible forbidden knowledge or be sought out by Cthulhu Mythos cults and entities for her cooking skills and I'm not sure which option is funnier. I like this character a lot.
