Storyteller

When I saw that the Medium had an Archetype called Storyteller, and considering this is a Pathfinder build, I thought to myself “screw this, I am making a Chronicler build. Our leveling should look like the following:

Class

Medium (Storyteller) 10/Chronicler 10

Race

We are going with a standard human, putting our floating +2 into Charisma

Ability Scores

Put everything in Charisma.

15Point-Buy

Str 10/Dex 10/Con 14/Int 10/Wis 10/Cha 18

20Point-Buy

Str 10/Dex 12/Con 14/Int 10/Wis 10/Cha 19

25Point-Buy

Str 10/Dex 13/Con 14/Int 10/Wis 10/Cha 20

Traits

Reactionary of course, Varisian Tattoos to get proficiency with the Starknife

Favored Class Bonus

Yep, it is, in fact, your boy: Hit Points.

Skills

Aight, we need Perform(Oratory), Profession(Scribe) and Linguistics. After that, the world’s your oyster, pick whatever you feel like!

Feats by Level

1-Divine Fighting Technique(Way of the Shooting Star)

Human Bonus-Point-Blank Shot

3-Precise Shot

5-Deadly Aim

7-Lingering Performance

9-Improved Initiative

11-Weapon Focus(Starknife)

13-Improved Critical(Starknife)

15-Heavy Armor Proficiency

17-Shield Proficiency

19-Tower Shield Proficiency

We use our Charisma to attack with our Starknife which is nice, and with Precise Shot and Deadly Aim, we deal some actually significant damage with it too. As we get some form of Bardic Performance, Lingering Performance becomes a must. And as our spellcasting is not hindered by armor, we eventually grab shields and heavy armor proficiencies to add to our defenses making us surprisingly resilient.

Spells Learned by Level

1-Detect Magic, Prestidigitation
2-Mage Hand
3-Stabilize
4-Enlarge Person, Reduce Person
5-Bleed, Remove Fear
6-Protection from Evil
7-Read Magic, Haste, Invisibility
8-Bull’s Strength
9-Ventriloquism, Hold Person
10-Fly, Scrying

Equipment

A few Starknives, and the best armor you can get. Eventually pick a Full Plate and Tower Shield for immense AC shenanigans.

Final Thoughts on the Build

We can summon a bunch of ghostly barbarians to mess up our enemies for us, and we get to buff our allies with Not Bardic Performance. We still get our Spirits which are great as usual, and our spell list is full of goodies our party will love. Plus our defenses are solid and we are charismatic enough to act as the party’s face. A surprisingly good build actually.
