Help me make APG PFS Pregens?

[Sylrae]

I'll be running a PFS Game on the 8th. 1st Tier, and I plan on bringing at least 8 pre-gens. Is anyone interested in helping me build 1st level characters with the new book?

I'm going to upload them to PFDB after.

The only thing I want to make these Pre-Gens special is I want all of them to use something from the APG for class (variants and new classes). Feel free to use the new race options and the new gear.

I know the new PFS Guidelines aren't out yet, but they will be before the 8th, and I'm positive they'll incorporate most of the new player options. If we use anything that isn't available in the new document it shouldn't be hard to change, after-all, they're 1st level characters.

Having read over the pdf, I'm looking forward to buying the book on the 5th to bring it to game. TBH I'm a bit nervous that my LGS won't have any copies left by the time I get there.

Now we should probably only do one incarnation of each class until we have covered at least one of each.

Bonus Points if you can find a picture to match it that isn't a PF Iconic.

What do you guys think?

I'm gonna stat me up an alchemist.

I would go with:

Totem Barbarian
Arcane Duelist Bard
Shaman Druid (any)
Free Hand Fighter
Zen Archer Monk
Shining Knight Paladin
Shapeshifter Ranger
Swashbuckler Rogue

A bunch of those were my first thoughts, then I realized most of them get nothing special at level 1. =/
[Edit]By Special I mean from the new book.

By Friday I should have a complete set of pregens for the new base classes - at least one for every race and class - available for distribution. I'll post again when they are ready, if it would help.

Have you seen the pregens provided in the Masters of the Fallen Fortress (Free RPG Day) Module? The APG iconics are a good place to start...

Free .pdf or $5 for a print copy

Update: they aren't *quite* done yet, and my own GenCon preparations are making it harder for me to get them finished. Nevertheless, I am going to try to get them wrapped up by the end of the weekend. Wish me luck!

What have you got Shisumo?

 

[Shisumo]

This.

Would have posted sooner, but the website kinda disappeared.

Looks pretty good Shisumo.

Reading through it so far.. Looks pretty good.
Comments: It could use some bookmarks.
Doesn't include any of the Alt Builds of Core Classes, but the new classes are pretty good.

Seems none of them have Traits, or alignment (which is ok). Care to give a list of the things that need to be assigned to the pregens? as a DM who needs to provide pregens for an upcoming event this weekend (not gencon) and can't expect the players to show up with sheets, I need to cover everything in advance.

So: they need to pick an alignment and traits. Is there anything else they need to be ready as PFS Characters?

Does your other pregen booklet have anything that got banned in 3.0PFS Rules?

I put them into the first pregens I did, but this was something of a rush job, thanks to the time limitations of GenCon and so on. (I've also noticed a couple typos that need fixing as well.) I'll probably get a corrected and bookmarked version up in a few weeks.

A pregen with the archetype options didn't seem to make a whole lot of sense, given what the intent of the document is: something to hand new players to get them into the game quickly. A base class with an alternate set of class features would require both books and a pretty specific character vision - I don't know that, beyond the next few weeks, anyway - there would be a lot of call for such a thing.

That said, I keep thinking about doing it anyway. We'll see what happens.

Names, factions, languages. Everything else should be covered.

Unless the list of changes Josh Frost provided on the Paizo board was incomplete, no. There haven't been substantial changes to the legal character options in the core book since version 2.1 that I am aware of. (The core book pregens use only the information in the core, so all of the Chapter 13 additional resources are irrelevant for that purpose.)
