This is an oracle build I threw together last night and asked for advice on. I've incorporated a number of very good suggestions, and I'm coming back for another round of comment. Version 1.1 does less damage, but is tougher and has more battlefield control.
Suggestions are welcome!
.
A few features to note:
- Level 11, 20 point-buy, standard wealth. (I usually build at level 10 for testing, but quite a few things happen at 11 for an Oracle, and I wanted to explore those elements.)
- Standard method for fighting spellcasters is to cast silence on his own equipment and Surprising Charge the caster. This was my original inspiration for a deaf battle oracle.
- 3d20 initiative gives an average of 23.5 with a 90% chance to act on 18 or higher.
- Weak magic weapons and armor are meant to be boosted with Magic Vestment and Greater Magic Weapon, possibly extended.
- Both melee weapons are Spell-Storing and would normally contain Bestow Curse, Blindness, or Searing Light at the beginning of combat. Bestow Curse & Blindness are the only spells an enemy should receive saves against, and Misfortune will make them roll twice.
