Anyone really good at putting together characters ?

I have a concept and I know your supposed to follow the A,B,C formula Ancestry,Background and then Class. Human - Half Elf Heritage, Magical Experiment, Summoner.

So I will share what I have so far, I really hope to fit in and actually be helpful to the group and mission.

There is an option in the book for the Background - Magical Experiment or something like that. From the Secrets of Magic book. Going with enhanced senses.

I think I would like to play a handsome young man from Ustalav, of Golorian and he went to one of the universities with failing senses from some disease. They cured him by giving him vampire eyes (thus gaining low light vision/Dark vision) his eyes can glow red from time to time. He has the Scent ability from a lupine. So his senses were restored to him.



His time at the university as an experiment left him open to read the books and tour the halls and this is where he found he had a bond with his Eidolon.



Melanie a Psychopomp.

I am trying to work everything out but things are forming.

As far as builds, Summoners are supposed to be Charisma builds but I would also like some Dexterity, so I can help out from time to time.

As I said just concept stage at this point but nice to meet you all, and hope I will be able to help out. He probably never meant to be an adventurer till he formed a bond with his Eidolon and life changed for him at that point.

The Problem with that class/race/background is your dex maxes out at 14 and your primary stat Charisma maxes out at 16.

A rare background is fine if you want it.

The rare backgrounds break the usual background rules, though. You're giving something up to get the unusual benefits.
In particular, normally a character of any background can easily take a boost to their key ability. Magical Experiment never gives that, since no class uses Constitution as a key ability.

Of course, a Summoner might use offensive spells less often than some others.

Hello all!

Putting together an oracle for our spooky house tour!

In reply to Player1 (msg # 7):

You might want to change from half elf to another race and take the beastkin heritage. That would allow you to get both vision and scent abilities.

Hello Folks,

If you are not already familiar with it. Pathbuilder2 is a kick arse app for building characters in PF2.

I have been thinking of playing the heir for this game, does anyone have any objections or simply thoughts on the matter?

As far as classes go, I am very open to playing whatever the party needs. So far I am thinking either Cleric or Bard given what we have listed on the cast page. Unless our Oracle was planning on being the Healer.

In reply to Player6 (msg # 12):

I am glad someone other than me wants to be the heir!

My character is a former noble whose house pretty much collapsed under it's own corruption. My family and yours might have known each other.

In reply to Player6 (msg # 12):

The build I'm planning on isn't a dedicated healer, but should have healing spells. More of a support role than a healing one.

I am glad someone chose to be the heir, I think that should really link us with the adventure.

Okay, so I have most of my character planned out, but I want to double check - are there any backgrounds that are off limits? I know there's no real limit on ancestries and heritages but you always to check.

Nope. Did you have something unusual in mind?

In reply to Player6 (msg # 12):

I'm using it myself, but not sure how to translate it over to here. . .

In reply to Pharasma (msg # 17):

I was looking at Mystic Tutor but it ultimately didn't fit the overall build, so I switched to Cultist, for both the stat boost and the thematics (ex-cultist in a haunted house? Shenanigans!)

Is there a PF2E sheet we're using or are we using a site like mythweavers?

However you want to do it is fine, including a link to Myth Weavers. Although I think I've found their PF2 sheet a little lacking--not that I'm not using it for a few characters.

Mythweavers will probably have to do for the time being, since it seems there isn't one in/on Rpol.

In the meantime, I think this is suitably oracle-y!

When does your class proficiency go up? Is is automatic or do you have to upgrade it somehow? Second question, is there a difference in damage for small characters?

Wow beautiful !!!

Proficiency increases are generally class features you get as you level up. A few classes get one at 3rd but not most.

And no. Also Tiny, although that one does have a bit of a justification: The only Tiny ancestry, Sprites, are innately magical creatures whose strikes are always magical.

This one is free, and pretty good.

Is crafting (specifically magic crafting) allowed?

Certainly, although it does take downtime.

Can we assume to have had downtime prior to starting in order to home-craft gear?

In reply to Pharasma (msg # 24):

Did you mean only tiny instead of not?

I'm trying to figure out why the pathbuilder gave me a +5 to my rogue DC even it looks like it's only 14(+2 dex, +2 Prof)

In reply to Elmelio (msg # 29):

Prof in pathfinder starts at trained, which is +3 at 1st level. Then you add stats. Then at 2nd level and up you add in your level.

So 14 dex(+2) plus trained (+3) plus third level (+2) equals a total of +7.

Ended up building a basic table sheet. If anyone wants I'll strip it down and repost it here but it's VERY rudimentary.

I'm waiting on a ruling regarding gear (AKA if I can cut my magic weapon and scroll costs in half). The savings will probably go towards buying spells (and more scrolls of those spells; mwahahahahaha) that I will need for the staff I inevitably hope to craft.

And Ember's Eidolon is mostly just a glorified bodyguard for now;
