For an IRL game, I've had a fairly specific character concept in mind for a while now, but I can't figure out how to implement it without bending Pathfinder rules.
Available Resources:
10th level. Standard WBL. Human or Half-Elf.
All Paizo resources on d20pfsrd are allowed. I might be able to swing some 3rd party materials as long as they're well-reviewed and I can get the DM access. No 3rd or 3.5 edition resources. Really no Forgotten Realms for any reason.
The Concept:
A melee striker, wilderness skill monkey and secondary caster. A ranger, essentially. The difference here is that he'd use formulaic spells, preferably with Intelligence as his casting stat. This character disdains the gods, having seen their influence in the lives of others and wants no part of it. I'm picturing his magic as more elemental based - perhaps mastering the formulas of earth and water or some such.
How would you build this character? Are there obvious archetypes or prestige classes I'm missing? Are there any Pathfinder feats or traits that switch a class's magic from divine to arcane?
Thanks for your help!
