[QUOTE="drjones, post: 6369456, member: 62944"] My first character (theoretically, I have DMd for years but another guy says he will DM in parallel the first adventure path, but has not yet picked up any of the books.) is based entirely on a name : Grimblesnatch From there I get more fuzzy on the details, he could be a half-orc hedge wizard (wild mage, maybe druid) of small stature (half orc and half gnome?) Or he might be a gnome thief/illusionist with the Spy background. With many names, a penchant for disguise and a dark history. I am not sure how to build that though. The odds that we will hit any kind of high level with his guy is low but just going 3 levels into thief to get the trickster basics and the rest in illusionist would give the best spell casting the soonest. 50/50 gives more sneak and thief defensive stuff but then I will probably never even see 3rd level spells. I thought about something like thief/bard but then with the spell list it misses some jems and it's hard to be super sneaky when you have to play the drums and sing all the time. Illusionist focus is not that great to my eye, kind of depends on how powerful the DM is willing to let creative illusions be. [/QUOTE]
