[QUOTE="paradox42, post: 5394063, member: 29746"] In the game where I'm playtesting a Pathfinder-ized Incarnate, we have an Oracle of Battle with the Haunted Curse. He plays up the Curse as being the spirits of people who were killed in battle, who are trying to get vicarious revenge through him. He never acts as a party healer that I've seen; he mostly goes for the battle-monster tactic of stacking buffs and going all CoDZilla on the enemy (well, as close to CoDZilla as one [B]can[/B] get in PF anyway- the designers did a damn good job of killing that particular monster ;)). And the tactic works- he's an absolute [B]monster[/B] in combat, frequently dealing 30 or more points of damage from one hit. I've seen his confirmed crits reach totals above 80. I don't know exactly which buffs he uses to pull this off, just that he seems to always have them on by the time a combat starts (unless the enemy hits us with [I]Dispels[/I], like the last BBEG did). He's been angling his character towards the Rage Prophet PrC, but hasn't taken his first level in it yet as far as I'm aware; he is eligible but wanted more Oracle abilities the last time we levelled up I think. He'll most likely go Rage Prophet next level. We briefly had a guy join with an Inquisitor/Zen Archer Monk multiclass, but he didn't like how the character worked out in actual play so dropped the character (he got written out of the plot) and currently just comes to the sessions to watch. He may or may not be rejoining with another character soon. Our GM really emphasizes melee in his encounters, so it could be that the class combination sucks, or it could be that the GM's play style just makes a focused archer effectively a non-option. I can't honestly call it a fair test, in other words. [/QUOTE]
