Lord Soth 4.0.1.2b (and he trips!)


Advice

Sczarni

So I've been building quite a few characters, and lately I've been working on a lord sothish type for PFS.

lvl 11 looks roughly like

Tiefling
str 14
dex 14
con 14(18)
int 20(24)
wis 12
cha 5

lvl 1 Unbreakable Fighter
lvl 2 Divination Wizard
lvl 3-5 Eldritch Knight
lvl 6-8 Hellknight Signifier
lvl 9-11 Eldritch Knight.

Feats: Diehard, Endurance, Fast Healing, Combat Expertise, Improved Trip, Greater Trip, Combat Casting, Toppling Spell, Whip Mastery, Arcane armor mastery (-20% ASF as swift), Armor of the pit.

Traits reduce lvl of magic missile meta magics and +1 ac while in med/heavy armor.

AC 35 or so. HP 103 saves 15/10/12
Arcane Spell Failure in mithral full plate with buckerl, 20%

His ranged bread and butter is toppling magic missiles, which each get to trip at a +21 and if succesful they all provoke when they are tripped.

He's lvl 11, but caster lvl 10 so you're a little behind the curve, his spell lvl is also 2 behind a wizard (so at lvl 11, you have only level 5 spells available (still kewl if you ask me and if you took him to 19 somehow he'd have lvl 9s))


Doesn't Arcane Armor Mastery need Arcane Armor Training as a prerequisite? And I would really think about using the 2nd trait to get Magical Knack for +2 CL as EK, think in the teen levels that is way more useful than +1 AC.

How do you qualify for Eldritch Knight at 3 rd level? the requirement is that you are able to cast 3rd level arcane spells

It was FAQed a while ago that (Sp) abilities count towards spellcasting prerequisites of PrCs, so a diviner wizard qualifies - you can certainly argue that a single (Sp) ability is not spells as in plural, but that is another debate I guess.


Thought you could only have one prc too.

Sovereign Court

doesn't it only qualify if it mimics a spell of that level, like an Aasimar being able to cast Daylight

Yes it does, but the Scryer school from the APG gives a diviner wizard clairaudience/clairovoyance as (Sp) ability, so that's not an issue.


Lord Soth: CE Human Fighter (or Antipaladin) with the Death Knight template. ;)

Sczarni

you are correct, I picked up arcane armor training at lvl 5 =)

I had considered that, but I'm only one caster level behind and for early levels really want to trip with magic missiles. (btw it's an awesome way to interrupt spell casters at low lvl, because they make two concentration checks one for dmg and the other for violent motion)

Sovereign Court

Neither the level of fighter nor the first level of Eldritch Knight add to your spell-casting.

Sczarni

depends on how you look at it. But either way it's not a critical point.

Caster level only really comes into play with spell resistance, or dispelling. Neither of which are his concerns really.
