Ok I'm playing a tiefling magus monk and to basically sum up his backstory his mother was a suuccubus while his father was a rather unique individual very charismatic type I'm thinking GodFathther type person who unknown to everyone else he is the secret leader of a struggling gang. He has his right hand man an aasimar know as the Saints' sinner because of his reputation as head of the father's gang which he is not actually. He is also a member of the lodge All the while the father has recently become mayor of the city giving him his now government funded gang. Back to his mother Martel she lives in seclusion with her lover because of what she is. Anyway basically hires his own gang to ensure that his son works for the shadow lodge because of the remarkable genius he is.
So I'm picturing an unhealthily looking frail man with a barbed and very boney tail with slightly purple scales. and just all around boney and gaunt. But he wears red rags and a red hood as swell as a white mask.
Sounds cool to me

Obviously even with my 21 ac struggling with health obviously I am a 1st lvl monk ( I can't stand not having evasion so working towards that at second level) and a first lvl fiend flayer magus.
Any thoughts?
Con 5? No. Just no. Please don't drop it that low. Mechanically speaking, its suicide. Especially for someone who's supposed to be on the front lines.
How are you getting 5 charisma? Is that from your tiefling type? If you want to be charismatic you usually don't dump charisma, but in the case of an intellect based class you can take the trait student of philosophy so you can use that intellect score for bluff and diplomacy.
Also, why monk? If your absolutely have to dip monk you might consider master of many styles for crane style.
Also, tieflings are usually a few generations removed from their demonic ancestry.
And you mentioned shadow lodge, are you planning on joining them? Because they aren't a faction choice any longer.
O I wasn't planning on being charismatic my dad was. I wanna be a weirdo sort o like that sherlock holmes series they did. Yes thats how my cha is five and maybe it'll have to be ol granny succubus my dad knows about. But basically your sayin less dex more con then?

level two monk gets me evasion and dodge to work towards duelist
Well, I don't think a 2 level dip is worth a feat and evasion alone myself. And if your working towards duelist with 2 3/4 BAB classes you'll have to wait until at least 9th level to enter the class, which is pretty late.
Also, as a magus, you don't actually need a sky high intellect. Its helpful yeah, but your not a full caster who needs someone to fail his save or he's wasted his turn and spell. 18 is pretty safe. And I would try to totally dump wisdom, it doesn't need to be high, but your will save is important. I wouldn't dump strength that low either, unless your going take the dervish dance feat(which doesn't do piercing, unfortunately).
Hm I really wanted that 20 but you all are probably right 18 is probably smart enough, I jus try to make my stats match the rp I'm going for ya know

Don't worry so much about matching the RP. So long as you don't say he's superman with 8 strength or amazingly athletic with 5 dex your probably fine. With 18 intelligence your smarter than most men alive, so I wouldn't worry too much about reaching 20. Besides, you'll hit 20 pretty soon with magical items.
ok sweetnes thx for the help all of ya
