Wayang shadowcaster


Advice


I kinda wanted to use the shadow drake as a combat capable ally but as a wizard hps are low. Idk this is what I got so far at lvl 6. I haven't worked out spells available in his book yet. Not sure what metamagic to take probably tenebrous and something maybe silent? Is it possible to cast while hidden?

Can you be 1 step away ie neutral and have a shadow drake?


Another option is at 10 taking a lvl of fighter then eldritch knight for more Hps for familiar

Shadow Drakes are CE, and the Improved Familiar feat says that you must be within one step on each axis. So a CE, NE, CN, or N character should be able to have a Shadow Drake familiar.

The familiar archetypes in the Familiar Folio are another good way to beef up your familiar.


The more I think about it the less I think it's possible for a wizard to have a combat familiar due to low bab, low saves, low hps.


My newsest thought completely different along the thought of the ranger going into shadowdancer. Either that or just stick with ranger not sure.
