What method are you planning on using for this? Are there any special notes (e.g. "Only from this book" or "Only races from PHB") in effect?

Urgh.
6 13 15 9 13 10
At best, a non-fightery cleric. And not a very intelligent one at that...let's see ... an aasimar would have 15 WIS and 12 CHA, which isn't fantastic but is certainly doable for a cleric of some sort...
An elven druid might work though ... that'd put DEX 15, CON 13 and INT 11 but his WIS is still pretty crap ...

Stats determined by roll three and keep...in attribute order. Sorry It's been rather hectic around here as of late. Hate to cancel everyone's roll but we are going to use high fantasy point buy (20pts.). If you are going use a classes that is not in the Pathfinder PHB let me know. If you decide to create a Cleric let me know (if needed) the Pantheon in generica is a bit different. If you have any other questions let me know and I will get back with you.

Hate to cancel everyone's roll but we are going to use high fantasy point buy (20pts.). That doesn't bother me in the slightest. I'm currently looking at using the Witch class simply because it looks mildly interesting, but haven't fully decided yet since I'm going to adjust according to what is needed with the group. (So, if everyone plays a caster, I'll spin up a barbarian or something to protect the squishy ones.) Although the Magus looks neat too in a fighter/mage kind of way...

I'm between:
Arcanist - Treat an arcane spell caster like a scientist? Yes please. Druid - Maybe like a dwarf... so an underground druid? Alchemist - Bring Bokken Back! Inquisitor - PURGE THE HERETICS! Necromancer - but N or G?

Hey, Giger: if Walays remains active in Kingmaker, you could do your bowman ninja in this one...

I'm going to do either a cavalier or a ranger/fighter halfling/gnome on a mount. I haven't decided on the details since I don't have all my ducks in a row.

Hey, Giger: if Walays remains active in Kingmaker, you could do your bowman ninja in this one... Was planning to revisit Garrett the Locksmith here, but now that you mention it, Ollie is maybe a better fit. I'm going to do either a cavalier or a ranger/fighter halfling/gnome on a mount. Why not a cavalier/fighter halfling on a mount?

Small cavaliers may choose ponies or wolves as mounts. At 4th level or greater, they may select a boar or a dog.

I suppose if you look at the setting, here, that the God of Death isn't "evil"—he's the neutral-type

Still ... necromancy automatically makes one think "ick" which is why I'm curious as to WxMAN's thinking/plan...

One of the guys in the Saturday group was talking about doing something like this in Giger's game, though his take was that his "necromancer" was raised in an evil death cult (which is how he obtained the knowledge he possessed) but the PC eventually broke free of them and is now using his necromancer powers to fight evil, so I suppose it's possible.
Related, I think, was the character "Kumori" in the Dresden Files book "Dead Beat" - she was a necromancer, yeah, but she was in it because she wanted to actively 'defeat' death, not because she wanted to raise zombies or skeletons...

Curious, what are you thinking here? Why a necromancer? Just interested in your approach here and how it works... Hell why not. May be very interesting Your selection of alignment is pretty slim TN, CN and CG but that may be stretching it. Let me know what you are thinking with this... So here is the thought process, and it is many folds: 1. Could have grown up in an religion or area in which the body is considered an empty vessel, a puppet with its strings cut - therefore the idea of using skeletons, zombies, etc which do not bind a non-evil soul to the creation are no big deal. 2. Using someone's dead body in this culture may be seen as a great honor, in fact, as the more intact and able the body is, the better it will perform after dead. Not only can you fight evil when you're alive, your body can be used to fight evil after you are gone. In a culture that doesn't see the body as something to honor, this should be no big deal. 3. Using an "evil" thing to defeat other evil things seems to be a better use of resources than letting non-evil beings be killed by evil beings. So why not let "evil" defeat what "evil" creates? 4. It plays drastically against type, which I do enjoy. I like to kind of create an interesting set up to a character and just see where things naturally go for them in the campaign. How do people react to him and how does that make him feel? How does he deal with cultures that honor their dead and this is seen as evil? Does he try to hide his works? Convince others it is fine? I think Rigil's reaction of "ick" is a good example of how just the idea of a person using undead is naturally repulsive, obviously this has a place in evolutionary means to defend oneself against biological hazards, but what if cultural forces erased that natural revulsion? We've seen it in the real world with things like cannibalism, so why not death? Is there any reason they couldn't be LN as well? I agree that G is pushing it, but you left of the LN and I didn't know why
