I have a question and wanted to get the communities opinion on the challenge rating for a serpentfolk as written except for removing their spell like abilities and granting them the ability to cast spells as a 3rd level sorcerer. The serpentfolk would not gain any bloodline spells or powers unless it took levels in the Sorcerer class similar to Dragons spellcasting ability.

One point to add is I have modified both spontaneous and preparation spellcasters. Sorcerers progress the same as Wizards, so they gain 2nd level spells at caster level 3 and so on.

So with that in mind does adding 3 caster levels in place of the serpentfolk's spell like abilities throw off its CR and need to be adjusted or is it ok??

here is a link for the Serpentfolk if anyone wants quick access to its stat block.

would the shield bonus from the dueling mastery feat apply when using spell combat??

Dueling Mastery (Combat)

Benefit: You gain a +2 bonus on Initiative checks as long as you start combat with a dueling sword in your hand. As long as you wield only a single dueling sword in one hand, you gain a +2 shield bonus to your AC—if you wield the sword in two hands, this bonus drops to a +1 shield bonus to AC.

So what i want to do is take away the green hag's spell like abilities and replace it with 6 effective levels of witch. the hag will have a familiar of a 6th level witch and will only have two hexes: evil eye and cauldren. the hag depending on how the CR is adjusted will take levels in the witch class to get it to the CR that i want for a type of early teen boss.

and second the only real spell like ability i want to give the hag is an at will polymorph.

so i was thinking with the hag being a 9 hd monstrous humaniod i would make its CR be around 10 or 11. is that close to its power lv??

that was within range and you had line of effect to?

Example: a Diviner is at the beginning of a hallway and uses Send Senses to look around the corner down the hall. He sees an enemy coming from down the other end of the hall. Could he target that enemy with say, Magic Missle since he can see the target and nothing is blocking the path of the missle?

So thinking about setting up a Lich Eldritch Knight final encounter for a new higher level group I am starting.

I am thinking about building it as a 2 handed fighter and making it an Abjurer to buff and protect himself.

So was just looking for some feedback to see how nasty this could get.

Thanks

Does a gautlet (spiked or regular) interfer with somatic gestures during spellcasting according to RAW??

... or is it class level. After reading through the bloodline arcana entry I couldn't find anywhere that says specifically. So is it RAW or RAI or has this been addressed????
