What class for a Baobhan Sith?


Advice


Aloha fellow adicts,

I want to add classlevels to the following creature:

Statblock Baobhan Sith

I want those classlevels to suit the style of the monster without adding completely new aspects. Do you have recommandations?

Right now I have in mind either some martial class w/o spells or an occult class...

Thanks in advance,
Wasum

I made a baobhan sith bard for an antagonist awhile back. It seemed to suit the style of the monster to me, though not a a martial with no spells or an occult class.

Bard is definitely appropriate.

Mesmerist is probably the closest thematically for the monster, and the Cha synergy works out well, though personally I'm not a fan of the class.

It seems like a backstabby type of creature, so Rogue or Ninja would also be thematic.

Monk (tetori) or brawler would improve grappling, and therefore blood drain.

Antipaladin would work well between Cha synergy and martial power.

Ditto Bloodrager, probably with Fey or Verdant bloodline, maybe Arcane. Untouchable Rager gets rid of spells - though at that point consider Barbarian.


I really like the Mesmerist idea! I think the Fey Trickster archetype would suit the fluff.

It does suit, though note that it casts divine spells from the hunter list rather than psychic spells from the mesmerist list.
