I built a human monk character for an upcoming organized play session and on the Paizo website it says I have to define where my character is from. I am kind of overwhelmed by the sheer abundance of PF Lore and am looking for suggestion, where this gentleman might be from.
I am currently brainstorming character builds based around dwarfs for an upcoming session starting at level 1. I find the Ifrit heritage interesting for a dwarf to flavor him as an azer and want to go the barbarian elemental instinct route with the kineticist dedication.
Barb, because I want him to be a quick tempered hot headed guy (pun intended).
Since it’s my first session I need some help with useful level 1 feats. Do any of the ifrit feats benefit my character at lvl 1?
I am also not sure which class feat I am going to take, and which weapon and armor I should choose. I start with +4 Str, +1 Dex, +3 Con, 0 Int, and either +1 wis and 0 cha or +2 wis and -1 cha since I am unsure whether to invest in intimidation.
As for weapons, I like them to be brawling flavored, since my first idea was either monk or animal barb and I wonder whether knuckles are somewhat useful.
I am currently building a hot tempered dwarven brawler character , who is also a sailor (deckhand) and I want to do some combination of Barbarian and Monk. Initially I started out as a monk and I went with the dragonblood versatile heritage for scaly hide, to have decent AC without picking mountain stance and to make room for other stances, maybe dragon, wolf or tumbling.
I am not sure whether I would be better off starting with barbarian and then take the monk archetype. The downside is lower AC and one less proficiency but I get rage, a nice unarmed attack (deer or shark) that doesn’t use my fists, I get a higher AC later with animal skin but I don’t know whether attack of opportunity would be a better choice.
I am also thinking about taking the dromaar versatile heritage for some nice orc feats.
Can anyone recommend the best configuration?
Hi, I am new to PF2e and I am currently planning a character for an upcoming oneshot this weekend. I don’t know on which level we are going to play, so I built a lvl 1 character. I want to play a dwarven ruffian so I went with the sailor background just for flavor and I was going for a strength based monk build.
I have +4 Str, +1Dex, +3 Con, +2 Wis, 0 Int, -1 Cha
With this setup I was going for the Mountain stance feat, but I am wondering if flood stance would thematically also be a nice fit, but I am not sure if it’s too situational.
As for Heritage I was thinking either forge or strong blooded dwarf for the resistances or the latter for being a hardened drinker.
But I was wondering whether a custom heritage such as dromaar or aiuvarin would also be nice featwise. Dromaar for the orc ferocity feat, aiuvarin for nimble elf feat to mitigate the low movement speed of the dwarf. Both heritages would also offer a nice reason for my dwarf being different and becoming a sailor. The dwarf feat I would otherwise choose would be rock runner.
For higher levels I‘d like to flavor my monk as a tavern brawler and want to go for the barbarian archetype.
Do you have any suggestions about feats, heritage and stances. This is my first ever PF character, so don’t be hard on me.
