So I have a character idea I came up with but now I'm torn as to how to build her. (Using Level 10 as a benchmark because I might end up using her in a campaign coming up.)
Basic story: When she was little she made a deal with outsider/spirit and now it follows her around as her teacher/assistant. It give her advise and helps her but cannot physically interact with the world. She tries to avoid fighting as much as possible; instead she tries to help people in need. If there is no way for her to get out of a conflict peacefully the spirit possesses her. The problem is the spirit sucks at possession, he causes her to turn feral and rage out until all the threats are destroyed or until he can get her to safety.
So back story done I can't decide between two builds:
Invulnerable, Wild Rager Barbarian 5 / Synthesis Summoner 5 - This gets me the helpful caster stuff but also the freakout rage machine during possession.
Or
Chirurgeon / Beastmorph Alchemist 10 - This has more of the happy healer tied to it and the freakouts would be pure fluff (Possession would be using a mutagen).
I like the first cause it fits what I want the possession aspect of the character to feel like. The second one is more fitting to how I want the character to act while not in combat.
Do you guys have an ideas that could help with my dilemma?
I only used PF because the concept came to me during a study break for my finals and I didn't want to stop studying to delve through my books. So if something in 3.5 works feel free to list 'em.
Thanks
