Hello all,
Our lovely DM (no sarcasm inserted) gave us a gift at 7th level, LEADERSHIP! What a fun feat to have, for free! So I wanted to make something different, fun, and versatile.
When it comes to his primary role in relation to my character (Aasimar Paladin Evangelist of Abadar), this cohort will be an advisor, and crafter. He will also have been traveling with me before coming here controlling the battlefield and buffing me.
Feat uses: Crafting
Spell Uses: Buffing and Battlefield control.
We have to use basic NPC stat line: 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8
And basic NPC starting gold: 2400
He will be level 5 at this point. Not fully able to get into the Mystic Theurge Class. Right now I am looking at Wizard 3/ Cleric of Abadar 2. Concept for him being higher in wizard is because I as an evangelist for Abadar had more recently converted him, 2 levels of cleric.
With the Wizard side I was thinking of going Universal Arcane School with the Arcane Crafter focus. I like the Metacharger (Ex) ability from this focus, plus a bonus Meta or crafting feat? Yes please.
As far as the cleric side comes in I was looking at Protection with the Defense sub, and Travel with the Trade sub. Both are tied in deep with being a Cleric of Abadar. Since these don't continue once I get into the PrC I was thinking these were the most bang for the buck with Abadar. Would their be better options with different Abadar domains? Earth, Law, Nobility, Protection, Travel.
The stat line is where I need help. I was originally thinking about ending up going Human with my +2 into INT and my level 4 bump in WIS ending up with this stat line.
Str 7 Dex 8 Con 9 Int 16 Wis 14 Cha 12. That is with going Middle Aged -1 Physicals +1 Mental. Should I get crazy and go into the OLD age? Another +1 Mental for -2 Physical? If I did this I would change things a little bit and end up with this stat line:
Str 5 Dex 6 Con 9 Int 18 Wis 14 Cha 11
Eventaully I would be crafting headband of INT and an Ioun stone of Wisdom. To raise the spelll levels I can cast.
Feats I would be looking at are:
Toughness (Human)
Extend Spell (1st lvl)
Craft Wonderous (3rd lvl)
Empower Spell (Metacharged bonus) longer buffs, nice for situational scrolls.
Craft Arms & Armor (5th lvl)
When it comes to the Wizards Arcane Bond I am torn. I could go with a familiar like a Thrush for the eyes and ears and +3 diplomacy. Or I could go with something like the Bonded item and go with a Wand and keep recharging it with whatever spells I like.....
I know this is kind of planned out and seems like I know what I am doing. I suppose I wanted a second/third/fourth opinion on what I am doing.
