Character Creation

Surfer where are you finding these awesome Garundi pics at? I really need to find a better avatar for Kadin, he has been called a talking pile of rags before lol

Since we have a rogue, would you like for me to go a different route? I'm open to suggestions (or having a second rogue couldn't hurt us).

WhtKnt I have been thinking the same thing, if you don't mind I have really wanted to try out a Warpriest, since you have a rogue already. I can have one rolled up by tomorrow around noon at the latest.

I really don't think two rogues would be so bad considering TRAPs and all.

Yeah I agree, I just started looking over the Warpriest again and it's a lot to take in on short notice. I do have a Fighter that is already finished on standby, but again 2 rogues can't hurt so I am going to stick with Kadin.

Try Pinterest, it tends to have a lot of good pics. You may even be able to get away typing in garundi (or garundi pathfinder)

OK, I am coming in a bit late here, so far we have:

Rizzoxiii - Kadin - Rogue - TWF Melee
LoM - Khadi - Cleric of Khepri
WhtKnt - Iseret - Halfling Rogue
Surfer - Jaware - Magus Eldritch Archer
Genecortess - Herc - Monk (Windstep Master)

I also saw mention of a Paladin, but I’m thinking maybe that was Loudkid’s proposed character?

If the above is all correct, we definitely have rogues things covered, and fair amount of melee punch, though not necessarily anyone super tough.

We have divine magic covered with a cleric, and partial arcane coverage with the Magus, though my understanding of the Eldritch Archer is they tend to be a little self focussed with their magic.

So I think the potential niches to be filled are:

Tough melee character to enable the Rogues and Monks to come in and out as needed around them.

Survival / Desert / Naturalist type character - maybe a Ranger, Druid or Hunter type, or possibly combine with the above on a Barbarian.

Full Arcane spell caster is also a good option. I’m leaning towards this currently - have never played one before. What’s the vibe of the party so far? I have a few concepts percolating:

- Older academic type wizard, who has decided to start ticking off the bucket list with a trip to Osirion.

- Local noble scion with some learning who has a yearning for adventure

- a Destined Sorceror who the pull of fate has brought to Wati

- an Acolyte of Nethys, hoping to find ancient knowledge to help them rise higher up in the Nethian church

- a Time patron Witch, fascinated by the opportunity to look back in time the opening of the Necropolis represents

DJ79 is a Paladin, so whatever you are feeling most is OK I guess, Pally is an OK tank I would think.

Heya chunky.

Yeah we also have a paladin of Saranrae, so she hopefully has the mellee's back.

I've been getting the sense most characters are in it for discovery/history so far, though a few aren't going to complain about the money. My own cleric is both, plus wanting to prove herself.

Arcan sorcerer seems the obvious hole though don't want to force you in it. The cleric is focusing on support + healing, and anti-undead channeling through the sun domain.

All the ideas flavour wise sound cool, tme witch one especially

Full arcane caster would be very good.

I almost did a Seeker Socerer with the Destined bloodline. He would be a long descendent of a Pharaoh forgotten by time, nudge nudge, wink wink GM.

But I really like gish characters so Eldricht Archer is more fun to me, although not as weaved into the Adventure Path history. Also the flavor of this sorcerer would be more of main character not a party guy. I did not want to force a kind of plot armor.

Just combine 3 Groups of words at google or pinrest as you see fit:

Group 1: african, moor, egyptian, garundi, arab or Mummy's Mask (ethnicity)

Group 2: Warrior, Rogue, Ranger, Wizard, Soldier (profession)

Group 3: Dnd, D&D, pathfinder, fantasy (to get cool stuff)

Gishes are definitely fun. Eldritch archers are also neat, played one before.

Get what you mean on the main chara ter bit, but always something that can be worked with. Like Khadi also has some ties to fate - being a duskwalker who popped up in the grand mauseleoum she was expected to become a cleric of Pharasma but found more connect with Khepri instead. Yet still feels its her duty to fight undead even if not with Pharasma's power so she often debates fate a lot.

Realised another lack may be general knowledge person as we don't have a lore warden anymore. Though Knowledge religion is covered and suspect that'll be the most important one.

Edut: Looking at available sheets we have local, history, engineering, planes and religion. So a decent spread actually.

I'll make Khadi public, please don't stare at her ability stats too much, they hurt me too :p As said earlier some aspects of her are definitely flavour (like duskwalker and undead crusader on a build who can barely hold a crossbow) :p

Also realised I forgot stuff like rations and general adventuring gear.. But hey its her first time, and probably expects the more used to this stuff in the party will handle that stuff.

I'll just make them all and see which one appeals to me :)

Ah I see you subscribe to the same method of character creation I do :p
Currenttly needing to make a 13th level char for a different irl game and I think I've worked out 6 different builds so far.

Have you ever thought about the investigator? Specifically, have though about the Dread Investigator? It is basically a guy who specializes in investigating mummy's and undead.

And you would still be a kind of Rogue.

Never really looked at it until you mentioned it, a lot to take in on short notice though, to much to be honest.

One class I love playing is the Hunter though, possible human adoptive parent elves I could roll up in a few minutes. Have an old one built to 20 already, was a Drow with a Warcat of Rull as a companion.

Can easily submit a Hunter, really fun class to play.

One thing to bear in mind about hunter its an extra piece on the field with 7 players, especially in dungeons with small room.s Why I swapped away from my Summoner.

I have made a Aasimar Paladin, she is sort of a prude, but she is ready for action

If WhtKnt is still a Rogue then I am going to play an Elven Slayer w/ an Elven Curve Blade and a Shortbow
