Since this is a Greyhawk game I was thinking of something with ties to the setting and since Alterius is a bard I immediately started thinking about the Fochlucan Lyrist. If you don't mind, I'd like to make a couple modifications to the character to better equip him for this role. I think I will switch his favored class to druid and plan to take Brd2/Drd6/Rog2 before beginning advancement as a Fochlucan Lyrist. This class would be pretty easy to adapt to Pathfinder. I would probably keep most of his stats the same otherwise. I may want to swap his feat for something else. I am not sure I want him to focus on archery. But I will look at the Pf feats a little more carefully and decide about that.

If DH comes back and wants to resume playing Alterius, I will come up with another character. In the meantime, I will work on tweaking the character to my specifications.

On my phone so this won't be pretty.

That PrC is ok by me and we can Pathfinder it up a bit later.

Do you want to switch the character to a half-elf? Then you get two favored classes.

Soon as I get home and some sleep will advance the thread.

I was actually thinking a half elf would be a good fit for the character but wasn't sure whether that would be okay. I will get cracking and give you what I come up with later this week. I am more familiar with 3.5 than Pf but can you select a prestige class as your favored class?

HolyMan · Sep 20, 2012

Nope selecting a PrC as a favored is not allowed. I know I've tried it too.

Any questions you have on PF let me know. Also try the Pathfinder SRD it has a lot of feats/traits/class & racial features listed.

Yeah, I am aware of the Pf SRD. I just haven't been keeping up with the game much so it is a lot to digest. My PNP group tried it for a while when it came out and decided we preferred 3.5. I think for right now, I will just play Alterius as he is, but change his favored class to Druid. He would lose 1 hp from what I can tell. Would that be okay?

Also, is the Fochlucan Lyrist acceptable as a long-term option?

Oh, and one other thing, I will be changing his deity to Beory.

Okay, so I decided to make more than a few changes. I altered his Ability Scores to reflect his intention to become a druid (needed a higher Wisdom score). I also swapped out his traits for those I felt fit more in line with the intended direction of the character. I moved some skills around to reflect this as well. I dropped some equipment and picked up a lute to reflect his lowered carrying capacity since I lowered his Strength. Finally I added a background and some more details that were missing. I altered his spells a bit. For some reason he had three 1st level spells, but I am pretty sure bards are only supposed to get two. In Pf, do you get bonus spells known as a spontaneous caster if you have a high related Ability Score? Maybe that was it. Hope these changes are okay.

All the changes you have made are minor so I have no problem with them.

Again I see no problem. I will have to add in a college, some NPCs, and a bandore somewhere in the AP but those are fun things to do.

I think DH had the Expanded Arcana feat but then switched it out. Guess he forgot to take away the bonus spell.

Alterius looks ready to go and I see you posted in the IC. I'll go and update your findings.

Looking at the group and if I need to keep playing an NPC.

- half-orc paladin
- human cleric
- elf bard
- half-elf ranger(trapper)
- human sorceress(undead)

I think the group looks good and all bases are covered. Does anyone see anything I don't?
