I could play Paladin, but my first choice would be bard (unless it doesn't fit, of course).
How many confirmed players are there? Do you already know what classes they're playing (other than the 3 already posted)? One mentioned sorcerer and another ranger, but I can't tell who's participating.
Edit: It seems we have:
Queenie - Sorcerer
Fenris - Barbarian
Maldavos - Cleric
Scotley - Rogue
pathfinderq1 - Fighter or Rogue
Scott DeWar - Unknown
Shamgar001 - Unknown
luke090473 - Ranger (maybe?)
Jessic - Unknown
Making a Bard (who focuses on healing) sounds the most interesting. As far as race goes - there aren't half-elves in The Fifth City setting... yet. I haven't yet read all of the lore (give me some time, I'll make it through it), but does that mean I could be among the first half-elves? Why aren't there half-elves? Can humans and elves not breed? Have they not expanded into each others regions yet?
If half-elf is off the table, could I be a different race, but use the half-elves' stats? I could do a charismatic Dwarf. Alternatively, what about using Hill Dwarf or Mountain Dwarf, but gain Charisma instead of Wisdom or Strength, respectively. I know that human would work, but I'm trying to play something other than what the rest of the group is.
Also, what is your thought on multiclassing?
