Pathfinder: Archetype fun.
« on: November 06, 2012, 04:14:57 PM »
Alright, so I was working on a character for PF and realized that with Archetypes, some interesting combinations were possible. (Ex. You can take both Savage Skald and Geisha as a Bard.)

My questions are, what is the highest number of archetypes you can get on one single-classed character?

Can a character with multiple archetypes be made that functions well?

What is the weirdest way to combine archetypes?

I know somewhere there is a class that can have 3 archetypes at once. You can stack the magician and sound striker bard archetypes and take the spellsong feat in order to extend song duration with spell slots and extend spell duration with bardic music, and you may cast a highly damaging wizard spell (learned from magician) spell and play a damaging song (learned from song striker).  Their are weirder combinations, but that one is weird and powerful.

That's pretty cool.

I ended up going with a Ranger taking Trapper/Falconer/Shapeshifter, but I'll keep that in mind as a back-up character.
