Hey guys,
I'm making a character for a friend's 3.5 campaign, but no class really seems to fit her, and since homebrew is allowed, I'm thinking of making something custom for her. Before that, however, I wanted to see if anyone knew something that already fit the bill.
She's based pretty heavily on Lucina from FE: Awakening, with a bit of Owain and Severa in there from the same game.
Her mom dies early on, so she is raised by her father. He gives her a lot of martial training, but dies when she is about 18, leaving her with the battered family sword that is more than it seems.
Eventually, she is going to take levels in Battle Scion from Unearthed Arcana, but I have no idea what to do with her till then. She has some sword skills and some other adventuring skills, so a general adventuring class would do, but Rogue, Bard, or Factotum don't really fit her. I was thinking a Ranger rebuild that took out the spells and favored enemy... and animal companion... and tracking... might do it, but it wasn't worth the effort. A spellblade variant where the blade itself is the source of the magic could also do it, or something a bit more weapon focused then the Pathfinder Magus. Either a general adventuring class or a class that would give her a taste of the powers this blade holds before plot shenanigans unlocks its potential.
No idea what the sword does yet, need to talk that over with DM. This is going to be more politics and rp based than anything else, which is why I'm being so picky about this.
If anyone has any suggestions, it would be much appreciated.
