I have an idea for a BBEG. He started off as just an ogre-kin orc, but then I discovered the [url=http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/templates/demon-possessed-creature-template=Demon-possessed creature[/url] template and loved it. I was thinking that it would stack well thematically with the half-fiend template, since a creature with demon blood already flowing through it's veins would be that much ore likely to be susceptible to a demon possession, right? But here's where my problem comes in. How do all these templates stack up? (pardon the pun)
Demon-possessed is acquired and half-fiend is inherent, so no conflict there. But what about the ogre-kin, which is another inherent? As I understand it, the only restriction to stacking templates is that the prerequisites must be legal. I realize stacking all these on will screw with the CR mightily, but are there any restrictions to stacking templates that I'm not aware of? The order of templates, if it makes a difference, is ogre-kin, half-fiend, demon-possessed.
For the curious, I'm putting it on a melee build Dragon Disciple. Build so far is Barb2/Ranger2/Sorc1/DD4. This would make him CR9, correct? (I use 25 points builds and PC wealth for my bad guys. I think that makes the result CR=HD. Or should that be CR=HD+1?) With the addition of Ogre-kin(+1), Half-fiend(+2) and Demon-possessed(+2), the result would be CR14. (I'll post a completed build later.) Does this sound right for all the additional bumps? Makes this guy a real glass cannon, but oh, what a cannon!
Also, I'm not done building him yet, but I think his Str will be very close to the magical 51 Str required to cast Blood Money for Wish. Just tossing that out there... ;)
I got him up to 48 Str with a +4 belt, but he's too broke for the +6. I would like to get him to 51 Str, just for kicks. (I doubt he'd actually be able to cast wish at any point, but it would be fun to get him up there.) I could just use a bull strength, but I'd prefer an always on effect to get him over the top. Any traits/cheap items/other methods out there? BTW, raging puts him over the top, but he doesn't have the Moment of Clarity power, so that won't work.
Bull's strength wouldn't stack with his belt +4, it's the same type of bonus. You could go eldrich heritage orc or abyssal, that wouldn't give it to him now, but you can't wish now anyways.
Right, forgot the spell and belt don't stack. Thanks for pointing that out. :)
He's finished and he's 52 Str (56 with rage) at level 9, CR14-ish. Sadly, he'll never cast wish as a spell, but I could always give him Scribe Scroll and have him craft wish scrolls. (He is possessed by a demon that can cast it, after all...)
His will save is horrible even with boosting and his AC could be better, but I'm happy. You better take him down fast, because he'll definitely take YOU down fast if he gets his hands on you. ;)
I'll post him as soon as my internet stops being a pain and let's me upload the file to Google. >.<
He's finished and posted here.
