Dicussion on Creation

Here are the Heritages for Elf but since I do not have Character Guide I do not allow in normal heritages : Ancient Elf and Desert Elf

Don't worry, pretty much all my PC creation choices will be from the main book, or the advanced players guide.

I'll submit the character soon (i tend to tinker with the custom character sheet a lot) but so far: Elf, cavern heritage, Elven aloofness, bookkeeper background, Investigator with Empirical methodology, and Know Weakness feat

So far the only question I have is if I can train in 'Circus' Lore, since that's not in either of those books

Ok, I have one more question. ( In ddition to the one about whether you'll allow me to choose to be trained in Circus Lore).
Can my PC start with a Elven Curve Blade? It says it's uncommon, so I wanted to check with you first before buying it.
Other than that, my character is almost done except the backstory. I'll submit for approval soon

Since it is a traditional elven weapon, you may buy it without too much trouble. Unless you do not come from an elven realm but lived all your life in another race settlement.

Perfect, thanks.

ok, submitted. I'll work on the backstory soon.
I'm still new to Pathfinder, but it look like Investigator is a bit more work for both of us. So let me know if I do anything wrong.

I am checking all characters, first question your race is elf which ancestry did you choose ?

I thought race was ancestry in Pathfinder?
here's my character summary (the full notes are in a spoiler tag at the bottom of my character sheet)

Ancestry - Elf
Background - Bookkeeper
Class - Investigator
Heritage - Cavern Elf

To me Ancestry is race plus heritage, but I may be mistaken. I will continue later to check.

There is one error in your character : an elf get a flaw in constitution so your score is 10, not 12, in turn your HP is 14 instead of 15.

You have 4 languages to choose, because of int.

All calculation are done, but one cannot see them when the sheet is embedded.

I put all the info in the bottom of the sheet. You have to expand the snippet.
But here's the summary, please let me know if I'm still incorrect

Ancestry: boost charisma to 12, intelligence to 12, dexterity to 12, take charisma constitution down to 8
Background: boost intelligence to 14, and constition to 10
Class: boost intelligence to 16
Four free Boost: con to 12, int to 18, dex to 14, cha to 14

Elf ancestry flaw is constitution not charisma.

If you want to have an extra boost you must take 2 extra flaws.

Sorry, the flaw should say 'constitution'

Ok I will do step by step
Str 10 Dex 10 Con 10 Int 10 wis 10 cha 10
- Ancestry Charisma OR Intelligence, + 1 free, flaw in Constitution
Str 10 Dex 12* Con 8* Int 12* Wis 10 Cha 10
- Background Intelligence + Constitution
Str 10 Dex 12 Con 10* Int 14* Wis 10 Cha 10
- Class Int
Str 10 Dex 12 Con 10 Int 16* Wis 10 Cha 10
- Free boost Con, Int Dex, Cha
Str 10 Dex 14* Con 12* Int 18* Wis 10 Cha 12*

ah, I see, I thought the ability boost for Elf was Dexterity, Intelligenge, and Free (which i used for Charisma), and the Constitution was the Flaw.
So I just need to drop my CHA down to 12 then.

and for the 4 extra languages I chose Gnoll, Gnomish, Goblin, Orcish

You get +2 in Dex, your scores are:

Str 10, Dex 16, Con 10, Int 18 Wis 10, Cha 14

You may change choices if you want.

no, that's good with me

I am doing a last throughout check on every character and I saw 2 problems :

Your HP is 14 not 15, unless you want to diminish a stat to increase Constitution

Your inventory is too expensive (price in sp) :
- 1 Backpack
- 200 Fine Clothing
- 10 Writing Set
- 40 Elven Curved Blade
- 30 Crossbow
- 1 Bolt x10
- 200 Leather Armor
TOTAL = 482 sp -> 4go 8sp 2cp it leaves you 10gp 1sp 8cp OK - FINE

A typical starting package for an investigator would be the Investigator Kit at 9gp 2sp (there is no redction so everything can be changed)
- Studded Leather Armor
- Crossbow with 20 bolts
- Sap
- Shortsword
- Crowbar
- Backpack
- - Bedroll
- - 10 pieces of Chalk
- - Flint & Steel
- - 50 feet of rope
- - 2 weeks rations
- - Soap-
- - 5 Torches
- - Waterskin
To this you may remove the torches -> 0.5 x 5 = 2.5 sp => 94.5 sp left
You buy the curve blade 40 sp -> 54.4 sp left
Option Alchemit kit 30 sp, set of manacles 30sp, writing set 10sp
