am looking at a character for a Way of the Wicked campaign that has just started.
The other players are a School Specialist Arcanist, A Stalker and another Witch.
My character idea is to play a White Haired Witch/ Arcane Trickster. One is an Imp, named Cousin It. The other is a Taddol, which is a 2 headed Elf with 2 distinct personalities one called Cousin It and the other Miss Stabby.
As I am inclined towards the Imp at present I will present that first. The progression is-
Lvl 1 - 3 Racial Levels of Imp
Lvl 4-11 1st 8 levels of Witch
Lvl 12 Lvl 1 of Rogue Ring of Swarming Stabs
Lvl 13 -20 9 lvls of Arcane Trickster
Looking at it now, it may be best to switch the arcane trickster lvls and those in witch. Early on the character will be a much better rogue than caster.
The Stats will look like this at lvl 4. I do that cost you get stats from the 2 racial lvls.
Its a 25 point buy
Str 12 14 -2 Race= 12 points 10
Dex 23 16 +6 race = 22 points 10
Con 14 points 4
Int 20 17 +1 lvl 4 +2 race = 19 points 13
Wis 7 +2 Racial= 9 points -4
Cha 7 +4 Racial =11 points -4
Points 25
Plus-
Good caster- lvl 16 at lvl 20.
Gets most of white haired witch abilities that are best
Practically undetectable, will often get surprise attacks
Superb stats
excellent flight
Wide range of abilities.
Good in melee.
Minus-
Those 3 Racial levles really slow things down
spells top out at l 8
apart from sneaking and back stabbing, rogue abilities are v limitted.
Cousin It /Miss Stabby.
The Stats will look like this at lvl 4
Str 14 points 5 perhaps this in't needed.
Dex 18 16 +2 race = 18 points 10
Con 14 points 5
Int 20 17 +1 lvl 4 +2 race = 19 points 13
Wis 7 points -4
Cha 7 points -4
25
Favoured Classes Witch + rogue
Lvl 1 - 8 1st 8 levels of Witch
Lvl 9- 10 Rogue lvls 1-2 Ring of Swarming Stabs
Lvl 11-20 10 lvls of Arcane Trickster
Plus-
Nearly full caster- lvl 18 at lvl 20.
Gets most of white haired witch abilities that are best by lvl 10
Good surprise attacks.
Gets all 10 lvls of Arcane Triackster
Racial Bonus feat starts you towards getting 2 attacks/ melee.
Other racial feats are v good for this too.
Minus-
Apart from sneaking and back stabbing, rogue abilities are v limited.
HPs, AC and BaB are poor for a character designed to melee.
I am open to suggested improvements and arguments for one over the other.
The campign is due to start again in about 15 hours from this post, so some speed would be good.
Thanks.
