Welcome! -Hunter

      Welcome to my post about all things Pathfinder 1e. Paizo may have given up on their game, but I haven't!


     ...Right. Anyway, this blog will cover many things, from build guides to interesting feat choices to... whatever else I really feel like. It's gonna be an open-ended blog post where I just post what I feel like.

     To answer a few questions you might have: No, there will not be a consistent upload schedule, and let me explain why.

     Guides take time to write. A lot of time. Researching just a single class's options could take me weeks, even months depending on how complicated the class is. Summoner, for example, might take me half a year to write about. That's because each of Summoner's archetypes have so many different ways to be played, Eidolons are complicated, and so is the Summon Monster special ability. A class like Fighter might take less time, but the posts will be what my flavor of the week/month/sporadic period of time is. Perhaps I'll add something about voting on what to write my guide on next.

     I don't plan to discredit any of the build guides already out there. But there has been some material released since many of those guides were created, and frankly, I enjoy all the interesting new options as well as 3pp material that's come out. 

     These guides are going to be written with new players in mind, as well as vets. I will try to keep as much of the lingo to beginner-friendly, as experienced players shouldn't have problems making optimized choices.

     As for optimization... well, I enjoy making viable characters. I will be keeping flavor in mind as well as function when it comes to builds because I want people to enjoy their characters in both regards.

     You might notice that this guide was ripped from a separate blog, and you'd be right. If you were a follower of the old "D4 Pathfinder" blog, then welcome back! I and some friends got together and figured we'd start our blog together. That's why I've gone and done the liberty of bringing some of the old posts to this blog.

    In any case, thank you for reading. We hope to see you in the next episode!

Hunter's Character Creation Guide, Part 1

  Hunter's Character Creating Guide                Pathfinder has a lot of options. I mean... a LOT. Without even delving into 3pp material, there are about 40 classes, with 30 or so races to choose from. It can get daunting to create a character when there are so many moving parts, especially at higher levels. However, I decided to make this guide (and in doing so pushing Alchemist off... again) to help new players figure out how to create a character. While other character creation guides do exist, I'll be using our house rules and walking through multiple character setups, as well as higher-level character creation.               I'll be referring to character archetypes in three major categories: Striker, Controller, and Supporter. Strikers are damage dealers who excel at removing targets from play through high damaging attacks or spells. Just about any class can be a Striker, but some classes ...

Guide Reading and House Rules -Hunter

   Hunter's Guide Key - Guide Reading and House Rules                This week, I delve into how to read the guides I release, as well as our personal homebrew character creation rules that you can use for your campaigns.  Let's get started!               I'm going to be rating things on a scale of power from one to five. Keep in mind, everything here is my opinion, and while someone else might find Synthesis Summoner broken and Fighters weak, I might rate them the same. Everything will be getting a color grade as well as a star rating as follows: Pink(*****):  The option is best in class in terms of strength, borderline broken. Blue(****):  The option is strong, lying somewhere between Viable and Optimal. Green(***):  The option is Viable for most characters. Yellow(**):  The option has merit to make it strong, but has an inherent flaw that leaves it out of Viable. Ma...
