What do you think of this character concept


Advice


Playing Way of the Wicked so everyone is LE. Going necromancer route but actually playing a very diabolic charismatic character instead of the typical brooding necromancer who sits in the back babbling to spirits of the damned.

So this is what I have. Tell me what you think or how I can improve please.

Using two classes. Level 1 dip in the Vigilante Warlock archtype. Then going to Death Mage afterwards.

WTH? Vigilante? What a waste and why?

Ok firstly, one level dip just puts the character on par with sorcerer for spell progression so not the end of the world.

What Vig: Warlock gives is 1d6 unlimited Mystic Bolts for when you are low level and suck. Plus decent saves +0/+2/+2. And gives access to lv 1 magus spells. Hence BLOOD MONEY. Gives a lot of class skills (equal to a rogue in class skills) that keeps you from burning traits for things to become class skills like Bluff, Diplomacy, stealth, etc. Also opens up the Vig social talent: Renown at lv 1 which influences social outlook, etc. This will give access to rumors, deals, human influence rather than just being that dark guy who plays with bones. Plus keep in mind, rocking a Cha of 19 at lv 1 makes for a devilish handsome dude.

So level two moving to death mage http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/3rd-party-classes/rogue-genius-games/death- mage/

Death mage uses Cha as its main attribute. Spells are limited to necromancy but you get quite a boost between spell focus, GSF, and the fetish class ability. Corpse mage gets you an intelligent bodyguard at lv 8 watching your back.

Now I have been tossing around the idea of VMC. Part of me is struggling with the loss of feats but knowing can make up some with metamagic rods. But half of your feats still hurt.

However, considering going VMC wizard. Torn between Conjuration: teleportation for the dim doors (dark portal to the land of the damned) and the Air school for outright flying (although this isnt very necromancy themed but highly effective).

This also gives access to arcane bond (house ruled instead of familiar) and via a feat, improved arcane bond (this really rocks).

What are your thoughts? How can I improve this guy?
