Low Templar for Wrath of the Rightious


Advice


Hello, one of the people I play with has indicated she wants to Dm wrath of the righteous. This provides me two opportunities, one to theoretically actually play a character to lvl 20, and two, I've always wanted to play a low templar.

However, ive run into some conundrums when figuring out the character.

The first is this, the groups I play with are filled with people that players that don't always make the best feat or other choices. If i made a character, who was aiming to be super say melee damage in the past it might have been too far above the other Pc's. Which ultimately affects their fun. What I have found worked best is making characters that are middle of the pack power level, but can often do more than one thing okay. I end up with a multi dimensional character and it mostly fits within the power paradigm of the group im playing with.

The problem though is between, mythic shifting the power bar and potentially playing at levels that I have no experience with. If i try to set the power bar for middle of the back' and miss it doesnt work.

Second, other than 10 levels of Low Templar and geting a lvl 14 planar cohort at lvl 15 im not sure how to progress the character. There are some things I noticed tho

I thought, between some of the Trickster powers letting the character move to a target as a swift action and the low templar's ability to retreat as a move action Mythic Vital strike might be good.

However, it occured to me doing some sort of trickster character like this might be kind of 'mad' So I should do a dex build using mythic weapon finess.

I was thinking, str 10 dex 16 con 14 int 14 wis 10 cha 14, human or half elf.

Ranger 5/Low Templar 10/5 something else with the two handed weapon combat tree would get power attack with a 10 str. If i went with the mythic vital strike bit i mentioned above it would be

1d6++36 normal hit with a +5 rapier and 4d6+144.

Rogue5/low templar 10 would be lower damage, but have 5d6 sneak attack and probably be in a better position to use some of the trickster trees skill options.

Anyhow Opinions are welcome


Meh, appears I screwed up the attack line for the Ranger5/lowtemplar 10 Idea. Anyhow. The build assumes 30 dex, +5 rapier, mythic weapon finesse and Mythic Power Attack. since it is lvl 15, would be up to improved vital strike.

Normal Attack, Rapier 1d6 +5 enhancement +4 Favored enemy evil outsiders, +4 crusader +12 mythic power attack +10 from dex.

For 1d6 +35.

So with Improved Vital Strike, it would be 3d6 +105 i think. However, Given what I said In my opening post I have no idea if this is viable.

Could use a mythic power for the charge, then Vital Strike and use the Low Templar ability to withdraw as a move action.


Ranger/Rogue/Low Templar.

Anyway, a nice build from long before Mythic. I would probably go full Ranger now... I have slowly soured on the mechanics of Rogues.

I really can't help you with Mythic, but maybe some inspiration and a bump will help you out. I have a soft spot for Low Templars.

The Vital Strike feats only double (or triple) the damage dice on an attack, not the damage bonus from all those other sources. So, in your example you'd be doing 3d6+35 with Improved Vital Strike, not 3d6+105.


Its the mythic Vital strike chain. Otherwise id never consider doing it with a rapier.

Im running intot he problem that the thematics ive come up with in my head fit the PRC and the Trickster path. But Low Templar seems more oriented towards a strength setup than dex. And this creates a bit of a mad issue.

May have to return tot he drawing board, tho alot of it was wanting the planar cohort. I do like Low templars over all theme tho.
