I went with Vivisectionist for the Sneak Attack to give a mechanical reason for the damage boost from Shadow Fade (Invisibility), and Toxicant for the Poisoned Darts. I've gone with ALCHEMIST with the TOXICANT and VIVISECTIONIST archetypes. For her Camping skills (downtime abilities) she cand heal some conditions, improve scouting and produce some supply items. The poisoned darts also give a damage boost to some of her attack options. The graverobber is a mobile hero who has some decent melee and ranged options, some poisoned darts, a defensive potion that gives dodge (Armour Class) and an invisibility ability that also buffs the Graverobber's damage for a few turns. TLDR: How would you build a Darkest Dungeon hero as a Pathfinder Character?Īlright I'll take a stab at the Graverobber. So what do people think? How would you build a character if you were asked to play someone based off one of them? (And again, it can be as mechanically and/or thematically different as you like, as long as you can argue why it's that character.)
This was kind-of the reason I started thinking of how people would make DD characters in PF, so even though it's not actually a great match it got me thinking. probably because of the name, but using a pick and/or shovel as a weapon also helps the connection. Honestly it's not a particularly close match mechanically, but thematically it would fit perfectly in a game like Darkest Dungeon and it made me think of the Graverobber. I recently came across the GRAVEDIGGER archetype for the Investigator class (Investigator/Occultist hybrid archetype), and it made me think of the Graverobber in Darkest Dungeon. So my first character to convert is the Graverobber. (No idea sorry) <- I haven't played this one (it's DLC) SHIELDBREAKER - Shifting, swaying - she mesmerizes her prey before the final strike. (Blood Kineticist maybe?) <- I haven't played this one (it's DLC) VESTAL - A sister of battle - pious and unrelenting! (Cleric)įLAGELLANT - There is power in the Blood, for those with the fortitude to pay the price. PLAGUE DOCTOR - What better laboratory than the blood-soaked battlefield? (Alchemist, pretty easy comparison) (I mean Occultist comes to mind for obvious reasons, but a Wizard or Mesmerist or something actually fits better. OCCULTIST - To fight the abyss, one must know it. (Gunslinger obviously) <- I haven't played this one (it's DLC, and also kind-of a re-skin of the Arbalest) MUSKETEER - A champion markswoman - keen for a new kind of challenge. (Oh wait, this one's the Cavalier, sharing teamwork feats) MAN AT ARMS - The raw strength of youth may be spent, but his eyes hold the secrets of a hundred campaigns. (Figher maybe? Or perhaps Battle Oracle with a Wasting Curse?) LEPER - This man understands that adversity and existence are one and the same. HOUNDMASTER - A lawman and his faithful beast - a bond forged by battle and bloodshed.
HIGHWAYMAN - Elusive, evasive, persistent. HELLION - Barbaric rage and unrelenting savagery make for a powerful ally. GRAVEROBBER - To those with the keen eye, gold gleams like a dagger's point. (Brawler?)ĬRUSADER - A mighty sword-hand anchored by a holy purpose. (Maybe Ranger?)īOUNTY HUNTER - The thrill of the hunt. (Occultist maybe?)ĪRBALEST - Shoot, bandage and pillage: the dancing steps of war. (Shifter I guess?)ĪNTIQUARIAN - She searches where others will not go. this man is more dangerous than he seems.
