So me and some friends, are going to be playing the second darkness ap. And I decided that I was going to aim for the Red mantis assasin prestige class.
My original thoughts concerning my starting class, was along the lines of a rogue or ninja.
But after some time looking at the prestige class the notion that i didn't need sneak to qualify for it gave me some ideas and i have been trying to make a Achaekek inquisitor red mantis assain.
But i have a bit of trouble making the concept work. Is there anyone who have some ideas how to make this concept work.
A bit more info i am of course going to dualwield sawtooth sabres and we are making characters with a 20 pointbuy.
Well, concept wise, both excel at hunting specific targets. Spell breaker or witch hunter archetypes for inquisitor make him especially good at taking down heretics and spell casters.
Conceptwise; Could it be something along lines of the inquisitor hunting down a very elusive heretic, after a while, he tracks him down, and beats him down, but learns that his methods aren't especially effective. At the same time, he teamed up with a Red Mantis rookie, who was a frightful close quarter fighter, tearing down enemies both in frontline fight, as well as from the shadows (sneak attack), which fit the inquisitor very well, as he enjoyed teamwork (sneak attack flanking).
Or something like that, either way, both are essentially humanoid hunters. The inquisitor's bane ability mixes nicely up with sneak attack as well.
Human would be a good choice, there's lots of feats required to become one.
