Soul Calibur Coreline

[Dungeon Master Zack]

Well, I am working on a campaign in the crossover Coreline setting, focusing on the emergence of Soul Calibur and Soul Edge. So, each player will be playing a character from Soul Calibur or another thematically appropriate character (which I will be interpreting broadly). Other characters from both categories will be important NPCs. So I need to stat out all these characters. Characters will start out at 10th level, with 20 point buy and automatic bonus progression. Here is a list of characters I am considering stating for this campaign: https://docs.google.com/document/d/16askcKJCEC8ZwpRWncsV1v6Rr1L3vBviYX2A28D A2MI/edit?usp=sharing

To start with I've stated out Siegfried, though I haven't selected all of the equipment: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZbP5uFZBxHbBmUmUvfXY5FlKb-1btdjf/view?usp= sharing

I am considering an archetype that replaces channel energy, but I am uncertain as to which one I should use.

I can't access your first file.

Re: Siegfried, I'm not sure paladin--Tempered Champion or otherwise--suits him. Consider his background: he was the son of a baron, but joined a group of bandits and mercenaries at a young age before being possessed by Soul Edge. His story is heavy with themes of redemption, but he has no holy powers. Rather, he struggles to overcome corruption, possession, and to find a weapon that can help him achieve these goals.

I think the cavalier class works much better than the paladin for Siegfried, and would argue that fighter (Two-Handed Fighter archetype?) maybe suits him even better. Probably with the Warrior Spirit and Focused Weapon advanced weapon training options.

You make some good points. I was not sure paladin would fit him either. Though technically the characters in this campaign don't have to be identical to their canon counterparts and can be "variants" as well, I think I'd want at least most of the actual Soul Calibur characters to be as close as they can get to their canon counterparts as they can get without too much cheating.

I am having difficulty getting the link to work, but I will work on it.

Alright, try this link: Soul Calibur Coreline Soul Builds

I remember statting up some of the Soul Calibur characters as opponents for my players. They were tricky opponents.

I am open to using a wide variety of material for this campaign, third party, homebrew, conversions of other d20 system games and even possibly 3rd edition stuff.

I don't suppose you still have those stats somewhere?

[Bjørn Røyrvik]

Somewhere. They were all level 20, though.

[Dungeon Master Zack]

Well, I would still like to see them if you can find them.

[Bjørn Røyrvik]

Here you go

They should be pretty close to RAW-abiding, if that's important. It's been years since I looked at them so I've forgotten a lot of details about them, but please ask if you have questions.

[Dungeon Master Zack]

Thank you, those should be useful.

Good to have some free Soul Calibur Coreline stuff out there in the wilds for PF1e, Dungeon Master Zack and Bjørn Røyrvik. ;)

I am thinking of using Conan the Barbarian as one of the "guest characters." There's a lot of disagreement on how to stat him out I've found but I am leaning towards some amount of fighter levels and then the rest being barbarian levels.
