Need assistance with a holy fire theme build (previous 3.5 player)


Advice


Hi all! I would like to construct a characterbased off a priest/paladin themed fire wielder. I saw that anime Helsing Ultimate and thought Alexander Anderson was such a wicked character that i wanted to translate that intensity into a holy flame wielder. Burning the heratics, unworthy and evil et. Etc.

Im open to build suggestions but my rough build idea for this was paladin/silver flame pyromancer(eberron: five nations) and pyrokineticist. Im not building this for op because i get deep into the rp portion if the games. The paladin fits the theme but i suspect a cleric will mesh more effectively. I was thinking of a human with hidden talent or a psionic race of some kind. Its been a few years since ive attempted table top And ive never really played a caster like this before so im reaching out to the community for support.

Feel free to suggest rule bending for entering classes or various requirements. Currently no level restrictions (a safe bet is lvl 10 to enter a local game). Open to magic items and cheese as long as it fits the theme. If you can justify it to the dm then anyting is possible right? Thanks in advance.

Well, The Ifrit Immolator Inquisitor Archtype in ARG should offer some help with that

Silver Crusade

Theologian cleric with the fire domain from Sarenrae. You take 5 levels of that and you've got a cleric that can cast intensified fireballs out of 3rd level slots. Take Magical Lineage (fireball) and you can cast selective intensified fireballs out of 3rd level slots.


This concept is already strong in the rules, no bending required. Play a Theologian archetype Cleric of Sarenrae and take fire as your only domain. Focus on fireball. Like magical lineage, metamagic master, spell focus, greater spell focus, mage's tattoo, spell specialization, spell perfection type focus. Combine with whatever flavor of metamagic you prefer (Blockbuster wizard guide on guide to the guides explains how better than I can) and fireball all the things.

EDIT: ninja'd

Wow

Silver Crusade

Yes, start off with spell specialization (burning hands) then at level 6 switch it to fireball. You can switch it at 4, but you're wasting a level of burning hands goodness if you do. I play one of those blockbuster wizards, currently at level 4, and it's very fun to play.
