How to not overshadow other spellcasters when playing a Eldritch Godling?


Advice and Rules Questions

As the title says. I am trying to get a group togther for a Kingmaker game and in it I'm aiming to be the ruler. My character in this game will be none other then an Eldritch Godling, a wonderful 3PP class made by Rouge Genius Games. The class is fun and flavorful, but quite powerful and I am worried that with their unique style of spellcasting (No concentration checks, still works in an anti-magic field etc...) I will totally overshadow any other spellcaster in my party. Now, to compensate for this, I've already settled on a few things to help "scale down" my power. I've elected to take charisma as my casting stat (generally regarded the "worst" stat you can cast off of), and have opted to take the Cleric spell list instead of the wizard one.(Again, wizard being the "best" spell list in the game) However, is there anything else I could do to help me not overshadow other spellcasters? Any advice on this would be most appreciated!


whats so "op" about the godling? It looks like a sorcerer with a "make your own bloodline" thing to it. Its probably fine as is. I only skimmed the ascendencies but they seem about in line with bloodline powers.

The lack of concentration is wacky. So you could just remove that :p


Remember your teamwork. Very few people think someone who focuses on helping buff the team is overshadowing anyone. For example, you could ask the rest of your party what sort of help they'd like to have from you so they can do their shtick better.


If you take CHA and the Cleric spell list the closest comparison is to the Oracle.

Lineage Domain + Divine Traits are about equal to Mystery + Curse

So you have 1/2BAB, smaller HD, significantly worse saves and no armor proficiency in exchange for no concentration checks, dispel resistance and the ascendencies.

Worse BAB,HD and armor easily balances the immunity to concentration checks and dispel protection. Saves are very important so if you don't take the most broken ascendencies (Dual Casting and Immortal Invocation) everything should be fine.

Good to know, if I did decide, however, to go with the wizard list instead of the cleric one, but kept the casting stat to cha, how well would I stack up in the "not overshadowing other casters" department?


Hang on - are you also planning to DM this game you are putting together? Because, that's a bad combination if so.

No, I'm not as insane to DM AND play a PC at the same time, not only would doing so be dumb, but it would also be difficult.
