What spells do you think would help with penetrating the magical defences of a wizards tower, stealing the items within, and getting away undetected?
And what defences do you think would be put in place?
I'm making an inquisitor(heretic)/arcane savant for an upcoming campaign that won't be terribly focused on combat.
(not at all worried about the hit to BAB for example)
This class combo works quite nicely with the backstory I've landed on.
A religious figure who was in the hire of a noble family to steal information and magical items from their rivals.
He would travel around as a wandering clergyman, engage in theological debate with the local priests, and occasionally be
called upon to ferret out some useful bit of information or steal some valuable item from the local nobility under this guise.
The problem I'm having is that I can't figure out where his mundane powers of skulduggery would need a bit of magical help
and what spells would best bridge those gaps. The noble houses are all powerful spellcasters so I can't quite grasp what kinds of
defences it'd make sense for them to have in place that he'd need to get around, and what spells (or scrolls/items) he could take that would help with this goal. The most notable deficit to his mundane skills is the lack of a rogue's trapfinding capabilities.
This is mostly a thought exercise of what I should build into this character to help explain his backstory, it's not really important to me
how much use he'll actually get out of these skills in the coming campaign. It's enough for me to know that he won't be useless.
The inquisitor list already gives great spells for subterfuge, tracking and dealing with magic. (disguise self, invisibility, follow aura, non-detection, arcane sight)
Arcane Savant gives identify, analyze dweomer, dispel and greater dispel.
For Esoteric Magic, are there any gems of spells from other lists you can think of that could cover some ground that the inquisitor spell list doesn't?
Glibness and Dimension Door are my only real ideas here.
I'm also at a complete loss as to feat selection. I'll probably be going human with the skill focuses, just because I can't think of anything else.
Stats, I'll probably focus on wisdom and get the inquisition that lets me use wisdom for the social skills, again just because I can't think of anything better.
As to what his religious tenets could be? I'm open to ideas if anyone has any. I'm thinking valuing knowledge in the Oghma kind of way.
Thanks to anyone who decides to help =)
