Sorcerer DD / / anti paladin gestalt

[koluminar]

Here is my concept, it is for home play, small table. My character is a gestalt sorcerer draconic bloodline// anti paladin knight of the sepulcher archetype. We edited the DD prestige class to capstone with half-dragon template like 3.5 version did. And claws are permanent.

Also my weapon of choice is a whip sword. Technically a custom weapon, but I'm sure it's within balance its just too much to explain fully here. I would like build advice. Currently level 4.

I am partying with a sorcerer Rakshasa bloodline// cleric that splashed a level of rogue. I'm sure you can see how the party works. This second character is true neutral. I'm having issues with ASF and maximizing AC. Any advice?

I was thinking of importing twilight Mithral armor and using arcane armor mastery feat lines. And house ruling them to free actions to activate instead of swift. Or creating totally new armor materials. (Very creative and forgiving DM) .

If you need a full description on the whip sword and its functions I can post that below

Okay, the question is what are you willing to give up here, and how much tweaking is your DM comfortable with?

My first idea would be to go double bloodline and get psychic as your second; now all your spells are psychic spells and have no ACF because of armor.

You could also see if your DM would be comfortable using the Enlightened Paladin archetype for your anti paladin maybe? That'd let you go light armor/armorless.

Getting cross blooded involves reduced spell casting so one less spell known per level. That's hard to deal with sorcerers already diminished spell capacity. And I'm going for "power turtle" anti paladin, otherwise I could simply wear no armor at all, I'm trying to crank up the AC as high as possible. Gonna try to capitalize as much as I can off the dragon disciple strength bonus. And he high cha that is needed for both classes. The capstone for knight of the sepulcher is fantastical with sorcerer level charisma... Health, fortitude and all abilities that used to be con... Are now cha? That's disgusting

Where is the psychic sorcerer bloodline?

Reduced casting hurts, but if you want heavy armor and casting, it's loads better than taking those feats that eat up your swifts.

BTW, what race is your character? Maybe with Dhampir you could persuade your DM to allow swift lay on hands for yourself (like normal paladin) for healing. They get a + to CHA even.

Knight of the sepulcher gives you negative energy affinity at level 5, and I'm human for now. Gonna be half dragon at DD10 (home brew modification)

Book of the damned (demon version) also has four rituals that allow you to become a half fiend, and then a full demon. Food for thought.

I found it and ran it by my DM he approves it

I'm using githcraft blended Quartz twilight fullplate,
Githcraft is a template reduced ASF by 5%
And blended quarts weighs double typical amount, but reduced ASF by 20%
Twilight costs a +1 bonus but reduces ASF by 10%

Doing the math 5+10+20= 35 that's 0asf%

He is happy with my research skills and provided I can pay for it he'll let me have it
