What is everyone else going for? I had a plan for a melee combat character that wasn't allowed (because it was based on a centaur), so I'm back to square one, and don't want to duplicate anyone else.

I've got a Grey Guard planned (Carrik gave me permission to use Pathfinder's Rules RE: Paladin Spellcasting*) for my Level 20 character, and a Cleric for my Level 7 Character.
*It's Charisma-Based rather than Wisdom-Based. Keeps me from getting MADLast edited by Chaotic Void; 02-13-2014, 10:04 PM.Have You Touched Grass Today? If Not, Please Do.

For the high-level characters, we have Chrs' wizard to give us some 'library' knowledge. Is there anyone thinking of running a high-level rogue or bard for gathering info and being diplomatic? According to my PM conversation with Carrik, our level 20 characters are going to be more business managers than active adventurers, so I guess those aspects are going to be important. I tweaked my awesome melee-focussed high level character, so he's also suited for scouting or stealthy backup for a scouting mission (relatively high hide, move silently, spot and listen) so could accompany a rogue on a given mission and provide some muscle in case things go wrong. By choosing different skills, I could repurpose him to focus mainly on diplomacy and gather info instead of stealth, since he has gather info, knowledge (local) and diplomacy as class skills, though his int and Cha are only +1, so a bard/rogue/shadowdancer would be far better suited to that role (especially since they get a lot of skill points). Spart, is your bard your high-level or low-level character? Anyone planning on going for a high-level rogue or shadowdancer (or a cleric for that matter, since we don't seem to have one of those yet)?--------------------------------------------------------

My bard was going to be the low-level, with the ranger/horizon walker as more of a scout, though diplomacy is also on the Horizon Walker list of class skills.
I could also throw out my ranger concept and make my high-level character a sorcerer/dragon disciple: the latter has gather information, speak language, and gather information as class skills.Don't call it a comeback. It's a riposte.

My high-level melee specialist is a human dragon disciple, sorc 1, ranger 9 (two-weapon fighting track), dragon disciple 10, hence the option of prioritising either stealth or gather info/diplomacy with his limited skill points (dragon disciple only gets 2 points plus int per level, as does sorceror).
If he's approved by Carrik (and he pretty much is, I just need to finalise where to put the skill points), I'll let you see how well that works as a combo.--------------------------------------------------------
