Bonus Content - Alekto as a tabletop character
Added 2022-06-01 16:02:14 +0000 UTCHello again, everyone!
I'm continuing with the series of characters-as-if-Pathfinder this month, and I've made Alekto this time.
I had kind of a hard time deciding between Paladin and Ranger for her, because elements of both work pretty well. But, she strikes me as more of a ranger in the end, because her whole deal is acting as a warden for Tartarus, and hunting down targets who go on the run from her very specific brand of furious justice. I did manage to preserve a little of the 'cosmic agent' flavor by choosing the Divine Tracker archetype, which gives her some fun death and protection themed powers to play with in lieu of an animal companion, which isn't really her style.
Her abilities otherwise revolve around, basically, being a tank and smashing things with a shield when she's not busy smacking them with a sword! She's got a few nice utility spells to represent her domain, but really she's all about getting up in people's faces, and blocking hits so the squishier people in the group don't have to. Also, she's got a nice pile of HP to help with that. As a secondary strength, she can intimidate people when she hits them with a power attack, which gives them some neat debuffs, so she's far from one-trick. She won't do the most damage, but she'll take a lot of punishment while her friends blast away. And really, that's how she'd prefer it anyway!
Here's the build. She had 10,000 gold left over but I also forgot her whip, so let's assume she spent it on one of those. :)
