Tiefling Eldritch scion advice


Advice


I'm building up a Tiefling Eldritch scion with a Draconic bloodline. I'm trying to focus on natural weapons. I've done a lot of things just for flavor instead of a whole lot of usefulness. The campaign I'm in with my friends has lasted long enough to get to level 6 and the GM said that as long as we're interested in playing, we can get to level 20. I'm slowly becoming more useful as I progress with my levels.

Feats and spells which I wish to take I have sorted to about level 10, but as I continued to look into the class and what I wished to build into, I noticed that I get shafted quite hard at lvl 16.

The whole idea was it to become this big dragon and simply have fun with a flurry of natural weapon attack and devastating spells, but as much as I notice, you loose your full armor set that you have while turning into a dragon with ˝Form of the Dragon 2˝ while going into a mystical focus.
Due to having a fairly high dex I thought I'll build into a mythral breastplate, at that level probably it'd be about +4 enhancement. So, I'd loose a total of 10 AC, not to mention that I lose 1 extra due to size and everyone getting a +1 to their attack rolls for the same reason.

While I do get +6 to natural armor from Form of the dragon 2, it still isn't really much and I don't even know if this one stacks with the armor I gain from the draconic bloodline itself.

So, I'm asking if I understood everything right what I mentioned above, if it's correct or not.
Other than that, any advice of what things I should pick up to make myself more viable in combat?
At the moment I'm pretty much on basic gear, spells aren't a problem, just feats and gear that I'd require. Specially if it's true that I lose my whole armor piece while in dragon form.

Get a way of getting Mage armor.


Mage armor isn't a bad idea. Scrolls could work the best really it seems.
Still, quite a bit of bother for just simply loosing so much suddenly xD But, it's a way.


Is there perhaps an armor enhancement like ˝Wild˝ ?

Just for polymorph?

Here, have a Magus handbook. Lots of feats and gear there.

Generally speaking, for a moderate to high level Magus, your best defense is not your AC but spells like Mirror Image or Greater Invis. So take the latter and don't worry about the former :)


Already have Mirror image and I like it quite a lot.
And heck yeah I'll love the ever loving heck out of greater invisibility once I get that far.
Thanks for reminding me of that one.
I'll take a look over that handbook you gave me as well.

Shouldn't Wild Armor work when polymorphed? Although Rules As Written, it looks like it doesn't.


Yep, it says it's for ˝Wild Shape˝. And well, that's for druids.
Don't know why there isn't one for polymorph.
