Equipment
Can someone tell me what NPC gold is?
I'm thinking I'll buy something to up AC and to up Saves.
Skills
Max Hide, Move Silently, Spot, Listen
Prereqs for classes
- Hide = 11 (ranks) + 3/4 (Int / Dex) + 9/12 (Motivate Int / Dex) = 23/27 (27 if for "Hide presence" class ability)
What this Character Can and Will Do
1) Fiend of possession goodness (including the ability to possess a creature and give a +4 profane bonus to an attribute)
2) Bloodline levels enhance the fiend of possessions abiltiies to enhance an item, giving it the ability to grant +8 bonus worth of item abilities to a weapon or armor.
However, while this could be used to make my Theurge more passable in combat, in practice I'd plan to use him more as a passive buff to Charisma (giving +4 profane bonus), and occassionally for scouting or whatnot.
Fil, this section is for you to comment on the build should you have any questions/opinions/etc.
this ay be obvious, but I'll point it out....
the marshall auras will affect tanner normally, since you can communicate freely with the fiend while it rides tanner
If the fiend controlls your oice, it can project its marshall auras to everyone else as we... but sice you share the same voice, if you are casting verbal spells, the auras will not be active.
Man, Igotta keep these in mind for my future bulds... the fiends of posession are like freebie buffs to yerself.
^^DavidWL - good call on the voice. Fiend of Possession really is an amazing self buffer (which is how I like to think of cohorts - things that make you more you). Also, if the Fiend of Possession uses a "Telepathic Bond" spell to communicate with the rest of the team, I assume that it can use it's Marshall Aura on them as well, without requiring the use of Tanner's voice ... ?
Surreal No worries about stepping on my toes. There are a lot of similarities, but enough differences as well. Sul is better at the mind reading and controlling, while the fiend is better at possessing in general. They could learn from each other. Come to think of it, having two characters doing the possession bit would be quite strong and can very quickly turn encounters in our favour. If we really want to mess with people trying to scry on us, we could double possess someone (even one of our own party members). Imagine if Sul possessed Tanner, and then your fiend entered Tanner as well, and then my shadow companion occupies the same body space. Someone scrying in would essentially see 4 identities mashed together. Time to get a new crystal ball, heh.
Another thought for working in conjunction would be for the fiend to create a weapon for Sul once I start manifesting astral construct bodies, which can make me a pseudo-tank very quickly.
^^DavidWL - Ok - sounds fun ... I'm game.
