I had a 12th level Battle Sorcerer/Fighter/Eldritch Knight in our 3.5 game, and my DM wants me to bring him into our Pathfinder Eberron Campaign. I'm looking at Magus of course, but Paladin/Sorcerer/EK is tempting as well. Here are the key things to recapture with this character, so any help or advice would be great:
- He was an Aasimar with the chain of feats that allowed him to have wings. (This is the most important flavor, I think)
- He made consistent use of immediate action spells to protect himself, such as Wings of Flurry (I think it was called that) and Permeable Form.
- He also used two Spell Compendium spells for his two gear pieces: the Dragon Armor spell that summoned glowing battle armor, and the Thunderlance spell to give him the awesome shaft of light weapon.
- He was a cocky ass, and considered himself invincible (since he was rather difficult to defeat), so I want to follow that vein. I don't normally optimize my characters, but it fits him to be so.
Any help at all would be appreciated as to how I can best recreate these effects. Thanks!
Magus really does seem like the best fit.
Other than those immediate action spells, which without even reading them sound over powered :p
Prescient Defense (from UC) and Spell Shield sound like good arcana for them. These are probably the closest you can get for those immediate action spells.
For the two spells you used (Dragon Armor isn't in SC, but eh), add them to the Magus spell list, but at a level higher than when a wizard would've gotten them. So if Dragon Armor was a 2nd level wizard spell, the Magus would get them at 2nd level too (since it's delayed progression). In the case of Thunderlance, that's a level 4 wizard spell, which means they get it at class level 7. This means that it'd also be a 4th level spell, available at level 10.
Thanks very much, and yes those two spells were overpowered. :)
The part I'm stuck on is the wings...how can I recreate that?
By taking those feats again. :)
Alternatively, taking the Eldritch Heritage line of feats for the Celestial bloodline will give you wings for a few minutes per day.
Also fits with Aasimar quite well.
Haha touche, I guess I can convince him to let me at least bring those two feats over, since they're not that powerful. Thanks for all your help!
