The group I'm playing with is about to start the Ways of the Wicked campaign. There will be 5 of us total.
Rogue/Assassin
Inquisitor
Antipaladin
Wizard
Ranger
The GM kinda gave us a little insight into the fact that there is a chance to become a vampire or a lich at some point throughout the campaign. The minute I heard lich I decided I wanted to play a Necromancer. I'm not attempting to make a full on undead controller at all. It's going to be more of a debuffer/controller. Stats at the moment are as follows:
Human
Familiar: Greensting Scorpion
25 point buy:
Str: 8
Dex: 14
Con: 10
Int: 20
Wis: 10
Cha: 14
Spec School: Necromancy
Opp School: Evocation, ??
Issues that I'm having at the moment are:
What opposition schools would be better to take? I know Necromancy tends to be one of the main schools that is taken, but being that I'm specializing at Necro what would be good schools to take. Was going to take Evocation & Divination, but taking up all my 0 level spell slots to get Detect & Read Magic kinda sucks.
Feat selection. I was going to go with Improved Initiative, Toughness, Spell Focus (Necro), Greater Spell Focus (Necro), Spell Pen, Greater Spell Pen, Craft Wondrous Item, Inscribe Magical Tattoo, Quicken, Improved Familiar (Imp), Extend, Lich (feat has to be taken to turn into a lich). After that I'm not sure what to take. That order is not in the order I'd take them either, just what I'm pondering. Good, bad?
I know my Con is low. I've spoken to the rest of the group and they're fine with dealing with that until I can swap over to a Lich in which case my Cha will replace my Con if I've read that correctly. I'm not opposed to changing the stats if it would make it better though.
He will be going all the way into Agent of the Grave. I know this will put me behind one caster level, but it fits well with the flavor of the character and I don't think it'll gimp my casting too bad. Is that something to worry about? I've only dabbled in playing casters, so I don't know if that'll just ruin me casting certain spells or not.
Thanks!
