Shooting Laz0rs: Help with a Spellslinger


Advice


I'm curious at how people would max out a Spellslinger build. Since you get everything you need to make your Spellslinger at level 1, it seems that it should be ripe for some sort of multiclass build.

My first instinct is to do something like:

XXXXX 1/Spellslinger 5/Eldritch Knight 10/XXXXX 1/Spellslinger +3

This would net you a BAB of 14, 15, or 16 depending on the XXXXX levels, as well as 9th level spells (regardless of the two mystery levels).

Obviously, Spellslinger is flawed, and I know it has a bad reputation to a degree. However, if you're cool with playing a build that is NOT meant to be a primary caster but instead to just be a laz0r shooting cool sniper or something, this would seem to work.

Also, raising the DC of your spells by the enhancement bonus of your gun is pretty awesome. If you specialized in a certain style of spell and nabbed Spell Focus and GSF, you could really jack the DCs up.

What say you? Thoughts? General advice for what really works with a Spellslinger?


Are there any feats that allow you to deliver spells with a range of touch as ranged touch attacks? If so a spell slinging mystic theurge would be awesome.

Cure Serious Wounds bullets! "I shoot you in the face! Now you feel better!"

Heroism shotguns! "I blast the party in their backs with my twenty gauge! Now you all fight better!"

Raised Dead machine gun! "I am going to unload this clip into your corpse until you're alive again!"

The concept is so ridiculous that it makes me smile every time I think about it.


It never says what type of spells can be used, so I like a slinger 1/cleric x, maybe divine scion as well. There are some rays in the cleric spell list. Like the ray in the andoran book, 4d6 subdual, lvl 2 spell.

Heck, even just having a seeking or ghost touch gun whenever is fun, esp for a gunslinger, musketeer, holy gun or trophy hunter.

Also, you could maybe do a skirnir magus and spell slinger, with buckler gun. Or a magus black blade with a cane sword pistol. Or slinger rogue (dagger pistols).
