Azothath's Builds: Bard 5


Advice


Börk is the bard ‘humorist’, social glue, and swedish chef of the adventuring group Mäktiga Trollfor.
 Collegiates at the local arcane college formed a powerful arcane adventuring group to explore dungeons and bring back lost knowledge, artifacts, and enormous wealth! They added one trusty martial and a bit of a wild fighter to their core of three wizards and a bard. Each wizard has a different focus so they manage their skills and the bard fills in where needed. They take good care of all their members as everyone contributes. Loot is split into 5 to 7 shares with each getting a part and the party account getting one for housing & board, library, training, support, and future investments.

This detailed build provides an example PC that you can build or use for a PF1 game. It is pretty centric being PFS legal, 20 pt Abil buy, and 5th Lvl with 12000gp gear. If you just starting PF1 this PC provides you with a plan. Note: PFS prestige awards starting with 2nd Lvl adds about $1875 in consumables such as wands and scrolls each level so I added 1500gp to WBL to get $12000. Aasimar requires a boon in PFS to access, you could substitute human, kitsune, sylph, tengu.
