I created a my first character for a custom campaign in a world under siege by essentially hell every 3 months.
My character is a lvl 3 Blade bound Magus, gnome
Stats:
STR: 12
DEX: 13
CON: 14
INT: 15
WIS: 14
CHA: 12
He also wields a black blade rapier sword cane 1d4 18-20 x2
Initially I created the character to be efficient when it comes to covert combat, but most encounters have been open combat. I've been trying to increase my damage output to increase my effectiveness; the lvl 2 characters in our group basely do 15 damage minimum per hit. Where as I do
10 if I roll max on both touch lvl 1 spell and my slash. I was considering
getting the crane repose combat style to take no less damage and get more hits in. As well as prestige into assassin, and focusing on necromatic(summon)spells as well as magic jar.
Are these smart moves or is there a better path?
