Alright, all that's left for me is the Path. I'll be taking some time to parse through the options and pick.

is the parth important right now? As I understand we awakened/accend/ begine the path a little into the game

Not in detail no, but would be good to try not to step on each other’s toes too much.

What Chunky said. It may be good to have a rough idea what others are going for. And sometimes you may have your eye on a power you want to build char towards etc.

I've seen a few people use the Background generation rolls, is that a must, or are people just doing that? I couldn't find anything in the character generation rules for it, but my brain also feels like mush currently.

I just find it helpful to kick off the character creation. And it might inspire me to try something else. Used the one for D&D 5e and made a rouge, I normally don't play rogues, but so far I'm enjoying it.

I knew what I was building before I knew who, so I used it to help get some starting points for creating the character. By shear coincidence, I ended up rolling Blessed Birth, but then had to reconcile my parents being both on a Traveling Band and Slaves.

I also think I have the gold spent and I added a lot more details to my character sheet.

just to confirm, we can use the gold on magic items, right?

And if I have the Construction Requirements (Craft Wondrous Item feat + spells), then I can craft the item instead?

If you have craft wondrous you can craft at 75%. (Sort of represents that you may have got some of the stuff before you could craft)

If we are talking Mythic Paths, I am looking at Archmage or Guardian for mine. Both of these have interesting options that go with companions...specifically familiars in my PCs case. Obviously the Archmage is more in line with my wizard class, but I'm still figuring out which i like better. Either way my focus will be on improving spellcasting and my familiar's use in battle. I know that a lot of people find that less than optimal, but I just really want to try it.

There is the dual path feat for those who can't decide between two.

Wow - I now believe that I am close to finished with Tomas Genosis. He is submitted - PLEASE check him over - This is the most complex 5 lev character I have ever made and I have spendt several houres on it, and there is bound some somewhere. It's true what they say: Pathfinder is the agony of choice.

He is going to take the Archmage path then that time comes.

That is good to know. I haven't gotten to those Feats just yet.

Hey, Rune, just letting you know, since you seem to have missed it: We're using Automatic Bonus Progression, and this line here is important:
Quote:
Items that only grant bonuses to AC, saving throws, and ability scores don’t exist in this variant, and wish and similar spells never grant inherent bonuses to ability scores.

I do intend to pop up a quick run down on Automatic Bonus progression. The idea is it lets people use the gold for more fun or interesting items, than on the near necessary items.At the brief glance the headband is the only thing standing out, but will overlook in more detail.

So, it looks like for Paths taken we have:
Chunky: Champion
Rune: Archmage
Dreamblade: Archmage and/or Guardian
ToDream: ??? (Maybe Hierophant or Marshal based on what I've seen here so far)

Is this accurate?
I'm having trouble choosing because there's a couple things in Champion, Guardian, Marshal, and Trickster that would be useful to my build.

Oh..I also may have missed the implications of the Automatic Bonus progression. I bought a ring of protection. So I should dump that?

Trickster does get to nick one ability from someone else
