I'm making a Half-orc Mesmerist with the Fey Trickster archetype. He's going to be a backup melee, backup caster, and backup intrigue character (maybe too ambitious, but I'm going for it!) There's a lot of moving pieces to this build, but what I'm here for specifically is my first level feat: Fey Spell Versatility. I'll be picking up Fey Spell Lore at third level, just fyi. FSV says I need to choose the 4 spells up front when I take the feat, so I'm having some trouble deciding, and am looking for some help.
The Fey Trickster casts spells from the Druid and Ranger spell lists like a Hunter, so he loses a lot of that intrigue oomf that the Mesmerist spell list had, but the two feats I'm taking are going to help me make up lost ground. Fey Spell Lore comes with a pre-made list, but Fey Spell Versatility lets me choose any spell from the Bard, Sorcerer, and Witch spell lists from the Illusion and Enchantment schools, or spells with the Curse descriptor, and add one spell to my spell list for 1st- through 4th-spell levels. I've narrowed my choices down to this:
1st - Command
2nd - Babble or Mirror Image
3rd - Accursed Glare or Confusion
4th - Dominate Person, Shocking Image, or Wandering Star Motes
Any help deciding would be greatly appreciated, or if there's a gem somewhere that I missed, please let me know!
I would drop Mirror Image and Shocking Image from that list. Those spells are already on the Bloodrager spell list.
Not sure how that affects me - I'm casting spells from the Druid and Ranger spell lists, and this feat is probably the only way I could get those two spells.
Hey Cuup, how long do you think your game will go? Should we assume to 12 or all the way to 20, if your career is shorter you can afford to specialize in different spells than if you were planning on playing this character for the long haul.
I think level 12 or 14 is a pretty likely stopping point.
Oops, sorry -- I am not sure what made me think you were playing a Bloodrager.
Bump. Any thoughts on this?
