The current party consists of:
Arcanist (me) who might be about to die
Rogue who is definitely going to live
Witch who might be about to die
Druid who just last session replaced a departed character
We're level 8
The DM houserules spontaneous casting to work like it does in 5e. If you're not familiar with 5e, that means everyone's casting essentially works like Arcanist, except without the delay in spell acquisition. I'd like to take advantage of that by playing a prepared full-caster.
I have a few ideas I've been toying with, which I will present here in no particular order.
We're in a town full of what the dM calls "Bullwugs," though I'm pretty sure they're actually Boggards. I thought it might be fun to play a Grippli who thinks he's a Bullywug/Boggard because no one ever told him he's adopted.
Looking at Grippli, the most unique benefit seems to be the ability to take the Agile Tongue feat and deliver touch spells at a range of 10 feet. They also have kind of a nice Favored Class Bonus for Shaman, which allows them to access some spells from the Druid spell list. And, of course, the +2 Wisdom from Grippli argues for Cleric, Druid, Shaman, or Empyreal Bloodline Sorcerer.
I had been considering doing something with Halcyon Druid. Now that I've found out another character is playing a Druid, maybe the polite thing to do would be to scrap that idea to avoid stepping on his toes. But that's not how our group roles. We started this game with an Arcanist, a Witch, and a Sorcerer (plus a Rogue). We don't really worry about overlap.
For a while, I've been thinking it would be interesting to play a Witch with both the Mirror Witch and Seducer Witch archetypes. I'd make her very vain, and intensely jealous of other women she perceives as more attractive than her. Kind of an off-brand Queen Grimhilde.
I was kind of thinking Elf would be fitting, since they're supposed to be good looking. Also, my DM houserules Elves to be ageless in his campaigns, which is kind of neat. But I can't find a Pathfinder version of Elf that shifts the bonus from Intelligence to Charisma. Well, except for Drow. But I'm not sure I want to play a Drow.
Looking at the Elder Mythos Cultist Cleric archetype kind of makes me want to play a worshiper of an Outer God or Great Old One.
But I'm not really locked into any of those ideas. So if you've got other suggestions, feel free to put them forward.
