[QUOTE="Traveon Wyvernspur, post: 5959802, member: 73201"] I've always loved the flavor of dwarves personally, but they aren't for everyone. I'm usually the stereotypical binge-drinking guy who likes to crack jokes at the other PC's expenses, then get down and dirty with a good fight against evil doers, I always have my friends' backs and am very loyal. Well if you want reach, I'd go with the Spear and poke at the beasties from afar instead of getting up in their grills. This gives you a bit of an added buffer (distance 10 ft) as you would be able to get an AoO off on them if you are using a reach weapon (more AoOs if you took Combat Reflexes, but that's more for a melee-based character). Reactionary is a great trait and I'd highly recommend it. Basically the way you want to look at combat is that the casters should be trying to go first to get the buffs/debuffs off and healing topped off at the beginning of the later rounds. A couple other good traits to consider: [URL="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/traits/faith-traits/exalted-of-the-society-cleric-pathfinder-society"]Exalted of the Society, Cleric[/URL] - Have to be a member of the Pathfinder Society to get this though so check with your GM. [URL="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/traits/faith-traits/birthmark"]Birthmark[/URL] - Can have a tattoo as your holy symbol so you can wield your 2h weapon (spear) and you get added bonus of +2 to some saves. [URL="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/traits/regional-traits/glory-of-old-dwarf-regional-trait"]Glory of Old[/URL] - If you decide to go dwarf (I LOVE THIS TRAIT = total of +3's on some resistances). Take a look at some more of the religious traits, they are pretty powerful. Missionary sounds pretty decent, I haven't done that one before though. Spells: you want to take things like bless, protection from evil, and things that buff or debuff well. Don't grab any healing spells as you can spontaneously cast a spell you have on hand to cast the healing spells, grab a wand of cure light wounds as soon as you can so that you can save your spells out of combat. If you need some more advice, I'd look to some of the [URL="http://paizo.com/forums/dmtz3shy?Guide-to-the-Class-Guides"]guides on the Paizo forum[/URL] site. The forums over there are very active as well. [/QUOTE]
