I’m quickly becoming Ocelot’s dopplpeganger.
What if I went Ranger/Cavalier/Eldritch Archer, could I have a Riding Drake and just ride around on it blasting things with arrows while my drake bites stuff that gets to close.
What if I was a Ranger/Cavlier/Beast Master, could I eventually have a Riding Drake mount and a Velociraptor animal companion and be running around like my own little pack?
I’m a little Kobold, I need a Riding Drake dangit!
Take two in the right Thread:
@Ryuken. Here you go:
and
@Rando - I’m afraid that you will likely have to start our Group Notoriety at plus 70+ as we seem to have no idea about keeping a low profile. Snicker!!!

So I slightly changed my fighter/aspiring-hellknight for the Tiefling ancestry. She is Lawful Neutral.
Her name is Pandora - it is said that she got it from a mysterious midwife from another world who claimed she would “Bring hope”. She has spent all her life in the slums of the Devil’s Nursery. Since she has come of age, she has been working as a hired bodyguard and mercenary for wealthy families in Kintargo.
The current times have made her question the political status quo in Kintargo. Why should the wealthy be the only ones who can afford safety while the loved ones of the poor routinely go missing and are never heard from again? Such morbid tales are all too common in the Devil’s Nursery.
Earlier today, she heard about a protest at Aria Square, along with rumors that Octavio Sabinus, whom she has long idolized, is now missing. Unsure of what to do next, she has decided to attend in hopes that he will make an appearance.
Having a reputation as a dependable woman who always keeps her word, Pandora is well regarded by both her clients and the common folks in the slums. Although she is not especially charismatic, the positive example she sets by her humility, bravery, and attention to detail have lead some to say that she is a Natural Born Leader.
Pandora is exceptionally skilled with all manner of pole-arms. Sometimes these are derided as “peasant weapons” by nobles, but she knows these are actually highly lethal military arms that are invaluable when protecting both herself and others around her. What happens next is impossible to say but one can rest assured that whatever goal presents itself next, she will be dogged and unrelenting in its pursuit.
Love this topic, many chuckles were had by me, keep it up!
Gnome Engineers forever! Bomb Voyage!
In Kobold voice "Gah! Shiny elf looking man is killing my fun!
Fiiiiiiiiine fiiiiiiiiine, I’ll stick with Kobold Sorcerer/Familiar Master/maybeDragon Disciple since it sounds like having a Kobold riding around on a drake blasting stuff with magic spell arrow just sounds too fun.
Ok Ok maybe that is a bit overboard for this campaign, but still… KOBOLD ON A RIDING DRAKE SHOOTING MAGIC SPELL ARROWS!
LOL! But man you gotta go fix that, it’s only a RIDING Drake.
I’m not that overly-ambitious that I am going straight to FLYING Drake, I am keeping humble and just looking at Riding Drake 
I’m gonna go with Blue and Silver colors for sorcerer bloodline and dragon exemplar respectively.
I likes the zap zaps!
Grrrrrr everything keeps saving vs. my spells!
@Rando , while we’re on the topic of blending in, is my pole arm going to be an issue? What about my heavy armor?
I will not be wearing armor with the “noisy” trait and I will have enough strength to overcome the armor check penalty for stealth so I am not too worried about the “stealth” issue even though I will not be building for stealth - but maybe I should be - maybe I should forget about this whole dream of becoming a hellknight - even a good aligned hellknight order member.
Let’s suppose for a moment that the rest of the party somehow manages to not got full murder hobo and everything is fine between the chaotic neutral yahoos and… me. And let’s further suppose I somehow manage to survive the hellknight test. How often will I actually be able to wear my Order of the Torrent armor in public? I mean, it’s not exactly designed for blending in with a crowd. But maybe by then the streets of Kintargo will be mostly in open rebellion anyway and it won’t matter?
I’ve got no good answers for you. 
I finished the Hell’s Rebels Players Guide module for Fantasy Grounds. I finished the maps for the first two encounter areas, but still have to do a map for a mini-encounter that happens in between. I started working on the gazetteer for the city in Fantasy Grounds and that’s when I starting having another GM’s existential crisis…
What if the players go to one of these cool places before they’re supposed to? Like 3 modules and 10 levels before?
What if they go off the rails to some other place that’s described in the gazetteer but actually isn’t part of the adventure?
There’s martial law (and a soon to be rebellion), how come it’s business as usual for shopping, sight-seeing, and just walking the streets? In armor? Carrying weapons? Wearing holy symbols?
The party knows at level 1 know who the big bad guy is, what’s stopping them - besides meta-gaming mechanical knowledge - from going after him at the beginning of the adventure?
How do I not make this feel rail-roady? There’s a huge city of 12,000 souls to explore but you can’t actually explore it and the party is constrained to certain areas at certain times.
In the grand scheme of things, not that big of a deal, but the recently announced Bestiary 3 has the official stat block of a creature I need in the first module. Will you all notice?
Speaking of stat blocks, there’s a f**k ton of humanoid type NPCs that need PF2 stat blocks for an urban adventure, where the heck am I going to get those or how much time am I going to spend on those?
Cities are huge. My mini-OCD means I need maps for every available contingency. How the hell am I going to get that ready?
No good answers, only more questions.
So, as you say, this is supposed to be collaborative story telling. I’m not expecting this to be fully immersive, and I’m not going to get bent out of shape if you say “guys, you’re not ready for that yet.”
Perhaps if you can establish some hard boundaries in your mind that you can throw up if we start to get TOO adventurous to try and keep us within the guard rails just in case. And as players, especially in these early adventures, we should be prepared for a little meta.
How about whenever we are heading to get in over our heads you just play this part of “Welcome to the Jungle”.
So you’r saying we should have picked Ruins of Azlant? 
Nope, Ironfang Invasion.
There’s a bunch of Ironfangs. They invade.

I have a hellknight character concept for this AP!
I probably have a Kobold character concept for this AP!
OK…I don’t, but I could!
So were my previously posted character art not Pathfinder Kobold-y enough?
How about
Am I still adorable Rando, AM I?!
There’s a distressingly small amount of Pathfinder style Kobold imagery out there.
I will of course be wearing robes and such. I’m not a wild, savage Kobold, I pride myself on being the closest thing to a civilized Kobold that you are likely to see.
OH man! - I should not have started Horizon zero dawn - I am so far behind y’all, but must finish next level-NO, work on character…
