So, I've just joined up to a new PF2e campaign, and it's pretty awesome. We're setting it in a more mythological Ancient Greece, and of course, you can't have ancient Greek Mythology without a demigod! To that end, my GM and I started looking towards the Exemplar playtest, since it plays really nicely with that mythological hero concept. Heracles, Cú Chulainn, Gilgamesh and the like. However, since it is a playtest and there's not a lot of resources for building a character for this class, I hope that some of the folk here can lend a hand.
Currently, our DM is using Free Archetype, Gradual Boosts, and Ancestry Paragon. The first thing I'm trying to figure out would be Ancestry. Since it is Mythology-based Greece, we're allowing more fantastical races, but I still want to lean more towards Human, though some of the Versatile Heritages could work.
But I guess the most important part of the question would be building, well, the Exemplar part of things. I'm trying to build a frontline martial type, with the idea of this demigod coming from Ares, Athena, or potentially Zeus (since that dude got around). I'm not certain how good they'll be on defense; Exemplar only has Light Armor Prof, so having to build for Strength, Dex, Con, and hopefully a mental skill (this is a pretty rp heavy game so I don't want to just kill things) is not a cheap spread. Alongside that, the choice of weapon is pretty important; the idea of going Spear + Shield for that classic Hoplite setup w/ Noble Branch, but I feel like there's better choices. Then there's just the variety of Exemplar feat choices alongside Ikon & Epithet choices.
I'll take any help I can get, minor or major. Flavour is semi-important, but I also want this character to be good at what they do lol. So, thanks in advance, and I'm glad to answer any questions if people have them.
