Found a PF group, need help making a character, please?
« on: September 23, 2016, 12:17:09 AM »
First time ever playing PF or with this group. They are also allowing the Dreamscarred stuff as PF has no psionics in core. 3.x stuff is disallowed, sadly.

So, I'm getting tripped up by the subtle differences and more irritated the more i read. (can't be a soulbow and soulknife both? etc).

Would anyone more familiar with the PF/DS stuff be willing to make some build suggestions?

I'm looking for psionic, and max the CO, but hold the TO. I only have access to the d20PFRD at present, so stick with suggestions from that, if possible.

Starting with level one, but i like to build ahead.

Help, pretty please?

Read Guides.  Guides good.  Guide links to other guides to guides, even to back here.  Guides almost always use PFRD.

Read Guides.  Pick class.  10 too many.  Read Guide again.  Ask again later.  Me stop pointless caveman talk now.

I'd look at Tactician Powers for Expanded Knowledge potential, since both take advantage of  the [Network] descriptor.  Elan (or Human) Mender Method Vitalist is probably what I'd go for first time, trusting powers to fill the buffing role while class abilities cover for healing.  Powers work a lot like the ol Spirit Shaman, so plenty of room for trial and error play.
