Literally anything.
We're doing an evil game and one player has latched onto the idea of playing a Teifling Cleric (the archetype) and being the mortal embodiment of Death (of the 4 horsemen fame). I was making a new character to put in and realized another character embodies War pretty perfectly.
Then looking at the Antipaladin I saw the "Plaguebringer" feature and now i'm sold on it.
So I'm taking the Wight undead template, will likely choose elf for the race, with Antipaladin as the class.
Bottom Line (tl:dr) What I'm looking for is any material that thematically suits the concept of Pestilence for the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse - particularly feats and traits.
Sorry I've been making so many build advice threads, I swear I'll stop soon! :P
Rat folk plague bringer alchemist that creates diseases just as easily as breathing.
Ravingdork has a build somewhere in his character emporium of a character just like this.
Yeah, I tried to edit my original post before the forums broke a second ago there.
Unfortunately the class is definitely going to be Antipaladin for story purposes. I've just worked with the GM to figure out a more story-oriented role in the group so I can help him shepperd the others (it's a homebrew). So the class and backstory are pretty well settled.
Items too though, always looking for items. I found the Apollyon Ring but since the character is going to be an awakened undead I guess that doesn't work haha.
Thanks though, Grizzley! I was thinking hard about the plaguebringer.
I know you've got your mind set on an antipladin for pestilence, but have you looked at the blight druid?
You're not immune to disease till later, but you have a 5th level save-or-sickened ability and at 13th, you are a plaquebringer.
He could wield a (great) terbujte made partially out of Viridium
You could also dip into the Pestilence sorcerer bloodline.
If you'll have access to spells, Contagion and Epidemic pretty much sell themselves.
If you can wrangle a rogue talent, there's Disease Use
Also, potions of disease + Beguiling Gift.
Lots of nasties you could summon are perfect for inflicting otherwise rare diseases.
Before I go starting a new thread related to diseases & templates for them; I was wondering if anyone here had a good source for applying various diseases/viruses as templates to existing creatures.
Below I am linking my comment on a FB thread, which triggered my desire to take this further as a fully viable threat to an area & of course the PCs in any adventure/campaign.
