Yet another time, I return to one of my most rethought and redone characters- this time, though, should really be the last one!
My greatest struggle in adapting Angela to Pathfinder was that she was modeled upon Franciscan monks- she should be able to talk with animals and go around without an armor. I decided very soon that the Oracle class was more in character than a Cleric for her, but I wanted to give her the Life mystery and that one had no revelations that add to armor class. Plus, she had to show a duality in her abilities, as the chosen of two different deities- one of life and compassion, one of love.
Finding and liking the flavor of the Spirit Guide archetype was a big step forward, but it took a long time to realize that I just had to swap her mystery and favored spirit bond to make her perfect. Nature oracles are the very Franciscan friars I was looking for, after all. Silly me.
So here she is. The Exalted prestige class gives her other abilities she needed, and retards her access to channel energy, that was not among her powers in my campaign/novel. Angela doesn’t see anymore a contradiction in her “serving two masters”, as she’s convinced that the goddess of love is only another aspect of the god she was taught to believe in. I also added Marshal to her Hierophant mythic path, to reflect her dual vocation and give her the ability to use mercies.
Some spirit names are from the series of Everyman Minis I wrote for Everybody Games. The deific boons Angela gains will be explained in the next post!
