Best second mystery for Daeran that is not Bones?

[Brian Sirith]

All guides say Bones. I don't wan't it for story reasons.

Anyone tried anything else and thought it worth taking?

Thank you!

Also I read this "The reason the Bones mystery is recommended is due to the Armor of Bones revelation, which grants you a +4 Armor Bonus that increases by +2 every four levels after level 7, and DR 5/Bludgeoning."

But right clicking on the Mystery in the interface I can only see the Final Revelation. Anywhere that shows in game? I can always check them one at a time of the paizo site... but well...

I've taken Ancestor in both my playthroughs as I'm certain it's why he was one of my party members that didn't get messed up by that Vavakia fear. I'm kind of a noob though and tend to do hit and miss stuff in these games.

Ancestor seemed good. It's my first playthrough. I usually look up builds but up to now I haven''t seen much variety so trying out my own.

By now I keep thinking: do it your way. Do not overthink guides. The best story and ending is the one unique and made by yourself...

That put aside, what kind of second mystery do you want? I think default he goes with Life?

I see it somewhat like this role play wise:

Battle - avenger type of Daeran who developes battle abilities after he was forced to participate with the crusade

Ancestor - him doing his best to be valuable to the commander

Flame - him taking power from the Other to support the crusade

Nature - the Other taking shape in that form without him liking it

Stone - noble and acid ? works with his touch being corrossive - speaks for him being distant to others

Waves - cold heart, cool powers

Wind - it is about him running away from his past to unleash vengeance in form of storms later on

I went with battle to perk up his combat skills a little.
My feeling is that after being forced into the crusade he started taking things a little more seriously.

I gave him fire and he is now basically a fire sorcerer/healer

Nature is MVP, but not thematically appropriate.

fire is really fun, and you have the feat availability and stats to be a decent elemental dmg dealer.

Dont listen to the guides. They are all written by min/maxers. Unless your on unfair most classes and abilities can be viable in some way.

I chose fire because it was decent for supplemental dmg and necromatic abilities are available to everyone, didnt need more.

Ancestor is fun as well.

in fact i would argue bones is not the best one to take.
