Hi

So we're playing through Wrath of the Righteous at the moment, and one of the themes(admittedly one we've not been too focused on) is redemption. We've already come across

who we've been working on fully redeeming, but now we've come across another interesting chance. Through what was supposed to be a simple random combat, my half-orc barbarian has a shadow demon trapped within his shadow. Now, he's not able to actually move about, or use any of his abilities, though he's been trying to mislead the party, and keep them awake etc. We're working on trying to find a way to release him, but while we're working on that, I'd really like to find a way to redeem him, and have him eventually join us as an ally. This is the only campaign where the DM's allowed Leadership and, assuming we can redeem him, he's said he'll allow me to take the leadership feat, and have him join as my cohort. Does anyone have any ideas on how to begin redeeming a demon?

Thanks in advance

Been looking into building an impervious rager, and was thinking of taking the improved damage reduction rage power a couple times if/when I reach that level.

Long story short, not 100% on how the rage power interacts with the class ability. I know it increases the damage reduction by 1/-, but is that then doubled for the non-lethal, or is it applied to that seperately.

For example, would a 10th level invulnerable rager with improved damage reduction twice have DR 7/- and DR 14 against non-lethal, or DR 7/- and DR 12 against non-lethal?

Just seen the false priest sorcerer and I've been trying to think of spells and items to make use of false focus and false channel.
Something like gloves of storing and spring loaded wrist sheaths so you can have wands on hand, with spell tattoos on the back of the wrists for extra spells.

I decided to try a sample build, human, with the rakshasa bloodline, and eldritch heritaging into arcane bloodline for the familiar, which can be replaced with a rakshasa familiar through improved familiar. Trying to go for flavor over optimization for this one. Any other ideas for feats / magic items?

First post here. I've been thinking about building a titan mauler barbarian for the next campaign I'm able to get in to, and was thinking of nightmare from soul calibur as a sort of base inspiration. I've got a basic idea down, but was hoping to get some advice. I know not all of the choices I've made are completely optimal, but I'm hoping he'll be quite useful to the party regardless. I've got him built up to 17th level, as that's the point the previous campaigns I've been in have ended at.

Nightmare

Half-Orc Titan Mauler Barbarian 17

Stats:

Str - 16 (14 +2 racial)
Dex - 14
Con - 14
Int - 12
Wis - 10
Cha - 17 (13 + 4 from levels)

Feats:

1 - Skill focus(Survival)
3 - Eldritch Heritage(Orc)
5 - Heavy Armour Proficiency
7 - Power Attack
9 - Not sure
11 - Improved Eldritch Heritage(Orc) (Strength of the beast)
13 - Improved Eldritch Heritage(Orc) (Fearless)
15 - Not sure
17 - Greater Eldritch Heritage

Rage Powers:

2 - Spirit Totem, Lesser
4 - Hurling, Lesser
6 - Spirit Totem
8 - Hurling
10 - Spirit Totem, Greater
12 - Hurling, Greater
14 - Not sure
16 - Not sure

Weapon will be a greatsword, likely try and get impact on it, with the armour being full plate. I've not looked too much into items for him, but I know I want to get a Belt of Hurling, Greater, to increase the hurled item's range increment, and allow me to apply strength to the attack roll instead of dex.

By 17th level, while raging and with the orc bloodline power "Power of Giants" active, I'll be rocking 34 strength (extra +6 from rage, +6 from Strength of the beast, and +6 from power of giants, so hitting and damaging shouldn't be too much of an issue.

There are feats at 9 and 15, as well as rage powers at 15 and 16 that need choosing. I've trying to find a way to give him a claw attack on his offhand without taking beast totem, so to fit the nightmare theme. On top of this, any items people can think of that might fit would be great.

Anyways, does anyone have an advice on anything I could do to improve this character?
