Important stuff:
- Custom races are allowed in this game, 10 pt, only "standard" group traits allowed.
- Will have an 18 in Cha starting, rest doesn't really matter right now.
- Not looking for versatility at all, looking for a highly thematic character (see below).
- Not sure which dragon color yet, leaning toward black as acid seems there are slightly less monsters with resistance to it.
- Looking for answer to a specific question below as well as general comments on the build.
So, that said, what I'm looking to do is a "Alpha Kobold" custom race, specifically that will meld well with sorcerer, so here's what I'm thinking:
Humanoid (Kobold Sub-type); Small; Normal Speed; Normal Languages;
Human Ability Scores (0); Flex Feat (4); Advanced Charisma (4); Darkvision: 60' (2);
Crossblooded Draconic/? (Leaning toward Sylvan) - Specifically wanting to do crossblooded, as I will likely not need or want claws for a few minutes a day on this character... he's going to be pure caster. Thinking Sylvan because I can replace claws with a animal companion (and snag boon companion at level 3 or 5).
So, let's assume I'm doing Draconic/Sylvan for now. Here's where things get questionable:
At level 3, I can take woodland stride (which is nice) or Draconic Resistances (here's the problem). But at level 1, I was planning on doing Draconic Aspect and Draconic Breath as feats. I honestly can't remember, or find, whether the two sources of resistance and natural armor would stack. If not, it seems that my only choice would be woodland stride.
Secondary to that... here's what I'm thinking for level 1-3 (he'll be 3rd level when brought in)
Starting Stats: 10 14 13 10 10 22
Fav. Class: Sorc - +1/2 Damage (elemental choice that matches draconic stuff)
Trait: Focused Concentration (+2 Conc)
Trait: ? (leaning toward reactionary or something that bumps handle animal)
L1: Animal Companion (Something scaly); (r) Draconic Aspect; (1) Draconic Breath
L2: -
L3: Draconic Resistance (if it stacks) or Woodland Stride; Bonus Spell: Entangle;(3) Boon Companion
So, at that point, he would have a solid animal companion (possibly one he can ride), a nice backup attack in draconic breath, and possibly really good resistance and nat armor, depending. Spells would include a 0 and 1 level that match the elemental type he's going for, etc.
Thoughts, and answer to the stacking question?
Edit - Nevermind, found my stacking answer... so, general thoughts on the thematic kobold dragon-sorcerer thing?
