Shadow Caller and Spiritualist
Was wondering if anyone had any experience playing with this class, archetype, or campaign (without story spoilers) and if I could have a few pointers?
Yes, I am perfectly aware of the limitations for both the class and the archetype, but wanted to try it anyway and try to roleplay around these limitations. I think this will be interesting.
What I have come up with so far is a stealthy character who is a very capable spy. We rolled for stats, getting an 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, and 13 (now that I think about it, thats kinda strange). He is human. I have decided that dex is imperative, wis as a close second, and int should be a close third for ranks.
Stealth and perception can be made class skills through two traits I'm allowed (I know the shade is capable in these fields, but its better having and being capable than not having when the shade is occupied or otherwise unavailable). I also think one of my feats should be eclipsed spell for an early on minor darkness effect when paired with light and further utility with later levels.
Shade tactics may be incorporeal ground travel for long distances and spying, but I dont know how much combat viability the shade can have in either of its two forms due to its normal range restriction... I suppose It can be used as a small living wall/leashed attack dog...
Anyway... enough with my rambling. Do you guys have any advice, things that would be good to take, or changes in direction I should take (nothing, but the class, archetype, and race are set in stone due to character background reasons and gm story development).
