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. With Bard Inspr Courage +2 at 5 is important but a dip into Gunslinger 1 will work and open up the elven wpns. 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.

Description:
Cì Héwěn is from the southern forest of spirits in Tien Xia. He has always had a knack for magic but completed his practical abbey and scholarly training first. The old sage then fostered his talent and spellbook from abbey scrolls. He’s never had trouble finding work, it just the kind of work as people cling to, imagined or actual, grudges and slights and will pay well to assuage their ego. As an agent of various powers it’s best to stay mobile as patrons are temporary and don’t plan or pay for lasting consequences. Alkenstar alchemy and guns are famous so it was a good place to relocate to as without a gun he’s not seen as a threat. This group has been enjoyable and it is nice to kinda be on the side of organized law.
Tactics:
He’s usually in the back protecting their bard, caster, or watching their guest. He also takes care of most traps and minor magics. The group uses-basic mounted combat and superior mobility and range to defeat most foes. The horses have the natural sense to avoid undead and most aberrations. Of course a small coordinated and clever group is the biggest threat to Stortugga but that’s rare out in the wastes.
