is it possible to build a duelist from the start?

[Comguitoz]

it doesnt give me the option. first time playing

There are requirements to unlock it, if you hover over it in character creation it will tell you what they are.

No, duelist is a prestige class, meaning you get to it by unlocking certain requirements with another class.

The easiest starting class for a duelist would probably be a rogue or another dex-based class.

You're welcome !

The game is based on a variation of the Dungeons & Dragons ruleset used by many other games like Neverwinter Nights and Baldur's Gate. Pillars of Eternity also has a similar system. I know a bit about it because I've played most of those games, but I couldn't give you any specific names to look up.

However, I imagine that if you looked up something like "Patfinder Ruleset" on google or youtube, you would find quite a few resources.

one question dude, do you need strength for duelist? it asks +6 base attack bonus, cant i reach that with dexterity?

[EvilDonut]

You can look for the Pathfinder manuals...

also, it asks you +6 BAB, it's not damage, it's the attack roll...pretty different.
Take weapon finesse as a feat, and you won't need str. Although your damage will be low, because dex only applies to attack rolls

no you need a BAB of 6, which stands for base attack bonus. classes receive BAB at different rates, but at most you gain 1 BAB per level, with classes like fighter, barbarian, monk, ranger and paladin. if you start as a rogue you won't be able to be a duelist until level 9 because rogues dont get a BAB of 6 until level 8.

[ArchmageXin]

I believe the +6 bonus simply mean your base attack has to hit +6 without weapons or armor (Classic D&D stat wouldn't count either). This mean a Rogue will reach this at level 7 (and warrior/Ranger/Barbarin at level 6).

So just pick a Rogue and enjoy the game. :)
