House Rule: For this campaign I am using ability score points with 32 points to buy the characters attributes with.

Her book stats are Str 10 (+0), Dex 22 (+6), Con 12 (+1), Int 13 (+1), Wis 14 (+2), Cha 17 (+3)

At first level I can give her:
– Str 10 (0 points) – +0
– Dex 18 (17 points) – +4
– Con 12 (2 points) – +1
– Int 13 (3 points) – +1
– Wis 13 (3 points) – +1
– Cha 15 (7 points) – +2
TOTAL POINTS – 32

So with each choice made I will expand the character stat block as I progress through the steps so you can see the changes as I make it.

Str 10 (0), Dex 18 (+4), Con 12 (+1), Int 13 (+1), Wis 13 (+1), Cha 15 (+2)

This gives the character a base attributes before taking race and levels into consideration. At the end of the build, the stats still don’t match the ones from the book, so I wonder if the characters stats were rolled or chosen to represent them.

So as I know that Jalia is a human I will apply the human traits to the character. While I could take changes from the pathfinder setting, there are also asian tones to this character, I have chosen to keep this characters as a base human from the core rules as it will meet most of the needs.

These are:
– +2 to one ability score – I have chosen dexterity to match the character
– Medium size
– Normal speed (30 ft)
– Bonus Feat – Need to choose
– Skilled: +1 skill point per level
– Langues: Common +1 language per positive intelligence modifier. The extra language I have taken from the original character being Tulita

As this is an advanced character there are a few things that I take into account before I start on the class specific features.

• Feats available to the character – at level 12 there are 6 level feats and a human feat that are open to any available feat.
• Ability score adjustments – this character has 3 upgrades to ability scores. This means 2 to Dex and 1 to Cha will bring it close to the one in the book.

I have decided to go with Unchained Rogue to see what it could do as something different for the character. I had considered making her a pirate from one of the supplements, but I will come back to that one when I talk about another character I have built next time. So here is what I get when I drop 12 levels on unchained rogue onto the character:

• Base Attack Bonus – +9/+4 In my house rules, I keep the attack bonus the same without degrading, granting a 2nd attack at the same bonus as the first. You get two attacks with a primary weapon, and the possibility of a third attack using two weapon fighting rules.
• Fort/Ref/Will Saving Throws – +4/+8/+4

Rogue Abilities:

• Danger Sense +4
• Debilitating Injury
• Evasion
• Finesse Training (3 levels) – Dagger and Rapier are selected as they are setting specific. In the book she uses unarmed and darts, but I feel this is an improvement for the player.
• Rogue’s Edge (2 levels) – (Slight of Hand, Use Magical Device) these fit the character choices
• Rogue Talent (4 talents) – Certainty (Slight of Hand), Combat Swipe, Minor Magic, Major Magic – these also fit the character choices and might help change some of the items she has.
• Rogue Talent, Advanced (2 talents) – Improved Evasion, Master of Disguise – both of these feel thematic as well
• Sneak Attack +6d6
• Trapfinding
• Uncanny Dodge
• Uncanny Dodge, Improved

• Skill Points: 8 + Int mod + human x level so she has 120 points. This will be simplified into 10 ranks into 12 skills. Acrobatics, Appraise, Bluff, Climb, Disguise, Escape Artist, Perception, Sense Motive, Sleight of Hand, Stealth, Swim, Use Magical Device. This simplifies the build time and adds 13 to the roll as also all being class skills.
• Hit Points: 8 + Con mod + (5 + Con mod) x level -1 + Con so this becomes 87 hit points Adding the Con score is a house rule for this campaign due to its lethality.
• Feats available to the character – at level 12 there are 6 level feats and a human feat that are open to any available feat.
• (1) Combat Expertise (2) Gang Up (4) (6) Greater Steal (8) Dodge (10) Weapon Focus – Dagger (12) Close Quarters Thrower – Dagger
