Magus from Ultimate Magic and an archetype from Advanced Class Guide, okay. So you'll be based more in Charisma and you'll know fewer spells, but you won't have to prepare specific ones each day, right? The magic is in your blood and you get special abilities when you go into a state of mystical focus. Seems fine and you can start building.
I still don't get the Bonus Spells from the bloodline, though. Could you explain me please?
Thank you!

By which I mean this.
Looks like it is a mistake in the ACG and so were taking that class feature as: At 7th level, an eldritch scion gains the bonus spell from his bloodrager bloodline that is normally gained at 7th level. He gains the next three bonus spells from his bloodline at 9th, 11th, and 13th levels, respectively.
This ability replaces knowledge pool.

Not as tragic a backstory as Khints. But certainly the same personality.
As a young man growing up in Chelliax, Vincent watched as the law seemed to always be upheld. The son of a Hellknight, he dreamed of one day joining their ranks and helping keep order as his father did. The more he watched though, he learned that only one thing seemed to ever triumph over the law: gold. To guards, adventurers, even some Hellknights, gold was a get out of jail free card. Those like his father that couldn't be bought, they did what they could, but eventually someone else would be paid to end them. When his father did eventually die, Vincent gave up on his dream and instead became a mercenary, following after the one true power, looking to get enough of it so that he could use it to put down any others attempting to use gold to do the same.

I'm still looking at your character, but I have already noticed a few things that I don't understand. It's likely my mistake, but I'll like you to explain me, please.
You say you have a Magus Arcana called "Close up", but I can't find it anywhere. What source book does it come from?
You don't put any weight, height or age, which would be really nice.
Could you tell me the cost of every piece of your equipment? The calculations I made ended with a leftover gold way higher than yours.
How did you got the 11 bonus in Perception?
I'm still checking some other things, hope you won't mind explaining me this. xD

A few more things:
You say your Touch AC is 13, but 10 + 2 (Dex) + 1 (Ring of Protection) + 1 (Dodge) = 14!
You also say your Flat Footed AC is 19, but 10 + 6 (Breastplate) + 1 (Amulet of Natural Armor) + 1 (Ring of Protection) = 18!
Your CMB is your BAB + Str mod, right? Wouldn't be that 11 instead of 13?
I think the CMD should be 10 + 6 (BAB) + 5 (Str) + 2 (Dex) + 1 (Ring of Protection) + 1 (Dodge) = 25, not 24.
Also, I think the attack bonus with the scimitar should be 11/6, not 14/9, but I'm not pretty sure of all this things. Would you fix this if it's wrong or explain me why if it's right?
Thanks!

Close up is my mistake, it's real name is "Close Range", the magus arcana that allows you to use range touch attacks spells as touch for Spellstrike.
+2 scimitar(8015gld), +2 Breastplate(4200gld), Crafted Belt of Physical Might(5000 gld), Crafted Headband of Alluring Charisma(2000gld, Crafted +2 Cloak of Resistance(2000gld), +1 Amulet of Natural Armor(2000gld), Bag of Holding(2500gld), Cure Moderate Wand(4500gld), Pathfinder Kit(12 gld)
You're right, I missed my math there a bit. Don't really know what else I want to buy, so let's just have it be 200 plat and 768 in my bag

I actually my flat footed should be 20 because a +2 breastplate is Armor bonus 8. At hit 14 (6 BAB, 5 Str, weapon focus 1, enhancement 2 = 14)

Well, you actually need more than just the feat to craft these items. The Headband of Alluring Charisma, for example, requires you to have eagle's splendor. You could still try to buy all this stuff without crafting them, but it would cost you 39227 gp's, more than you can afford.
You're right with the AC, tough. I actually hadn't realized your armor was magical.
I still don't get how you got a 24 in your CMD, would you explain me addition by addition please?
Thanks again!

BAB(6)+Str(5)+Dex(2)+Ring(1)+base 10
If you read CMD in core rule book it says deflection bonus applies to CMD. Dodge normally does too, but some question the feat since it doesn't mention it.
No deity
Swap resistance for Mage hand
And actually, the crafting section of core rule book mentions being able to craft without knowing all the spells. This DC increases by 5 for every spell you don't know. The only necessary prerequisite that can't be ignored for magic item crafting is the feat itself.
Killer Pixie |
Oh! That explains it all. I was actually counting Dodge for the CMD bonus, while I had forgotten about the ring, getting a 25 instead of a 24. It makes sense both of them count, so you get a 26 CMD, okay?
"The DC to create a magic item increases by +5 for each prerequisite the caster does not meet. The only exception to this is the requisite item creation feat, which is mandatory."
You're right, sorry. Are there any rules for using these items in character creation, or should we just assume you just passed all the Spellcraft checks for crafting the items? I'm sorry, I just couldn't find anything regarding that nowhere.
baja1000 |
Not that I've ever seen, I've always assumed it was up to the GM and based on how plausible it is to create such an item.
Best example is the cloak of resistance DC + 5 for not having Resistance as a spells is DC: 15. Could easily beat that with a DC 22 by taking a 10. Not to mention because I gave spells known, every few levels I'm allowed to swap spells known out. And most would swap out bull's strength after making the item

This was the reason I was confused with your Touch Attack, but I understand now and it makes sense. Gonna post IC later, since I don't have access to the hellknights' sheet right now. Thanks for your patience!

Yeah it is. But I've caught an error that I've been making. I've been messing up on my damage dice. lucky I've been rolling low most of the time, but I just realized my scimitar is supposed to be a 1d6 (I have another character in a different game irl with an Impact scimitar which makes it a 1d8. I've been goofing
