Hey all. I was reading through my rule books during my lunch break looking for character inspiration (everyone does this right?) and I discovered the Fell Magic Gnome alternate racial (race?) trait. This gave me the idea of a gnome who looks like and acts like a bit of a know it all douche (dresses in black, clothes are alternatively too big & too small, skulls hanging off everything – a very comical look) but is surprisingly good at what he professes to be (Necromancer). Not a minion loving Necromancer – but someone based around presumably SoS / SoD necromancy spells.
Fell Magic: Gnomes add +1 to the DC of any saving throws against necromancy spells that they cast. Gnomes with Wisdom scores of 11 or higher also gain the following spell-like abilities: 1/day—bleed, chill touch, detect poison, and touch of fatigue. The caster level for these effects is equal to the gnome’s level. The DC for these spells is equal to 10 + the spell’s level + the gnome’s Wisdom modifier. This racial trait replaces gnome magic.
So im looking for ways to build this character. Given that Gnomes have the racial bonus to Cha I was thinking either Bones Oracle or Undead Sorcerer. Then I found the Sanguine (Undead) wild blooded blood line which exchanges the ability to affect humanoid undead with mind affecting spells to getting +1 CL on necromancy spells which fits the concept better. Any other suggestions for a caster (Oracle / Sorcerer / even other primary stat based classes)?
Unless the forums come up with something more interesting, Spell Focus (Necromancy) & Varisian Tattoo (Necromancy) will be the feats chosen at 1st & 3rd.
Are there any interesting builds / ideas for the Fell Magic SLA’s? My subject knowledge is pretty close to zero for thinking up anything interesting based on the SLA’s – they are based on Wisdom too which is somewhat unappetising. Although as I mentioned Im open to the idea of Clerics / Wizards / whatever else if they fit.
Thanks for the help.
