What should I buy? - Bloodrager


Advice


This thread is going to be really vague but, I am looking for an online brain storming session from all of you

I am currently playing a Level 3 Bloodrager in Mummy's Mask that uses the Automatic Bonus Progression alternate rules.

I have 1800GP roughly to spend, and with no need for any of the big six, I am wondering what I should purchase.

I am an unarmed combat style front liner, and the rest of the party consists of a Hedge Witch, Inquisitor, and an Antiquarian Investigator

What sort of things would you suggest?


These are are 1K each, Boots of the cat are almost featherfalling, a Shawl of Lifekeeping can help prevent Raging Instant Death Syndrome, and I'm a fan of the Quickrunner's shirt, even after the nerf.

Sovereign Court

Various Talismans, Besmara's Bicorne, Robe of Needles, Shawl of Life-keeping(ninja-ed), Sleeves of Many Garments, Iron Rope, various Ioun Stones, and potions/wands/alchemical items. Should be enough to get you started.


A decent suit of armor for a start. A masterwork agile breastplate sets you back 550 gp, or if you want your full speed a mithral chain shirt is 1100 gp or just masterwork is 250 gp. Also have a missile weapon even if it's just a couple of chakrams or a sling.

Bloodragers can use scrolls just fine and as an unarmed fighter you don't have the free hand problem. Fly or spider climb, shield, see invisibility, protection from evil, enlarge person.

You can move your full speed in a regular chain shirt for only 100gp. You probably want a Breastplate though, and that would cost you 400gp, but would slow you down.

If you want better armour with full movement speed you'll want a Mithral Breastplate for 4,400gp, but that can wait a bit.

Alternatively simply take Expeditious Retreat as one of your spells at level 4 - it's a swift action to cast and gives you enough movement to matter in the encounters that matter, and you can get your Mithral Breastplate later.

How is it a swift action? I'm reading it as a standard

I don't know what bloodline you've chosen but the Shapechanger bloodline would let you do this at 4th level.

Nope, aparently I just misread/misremembered the spell (good catch).

Now I have to go apologise to my GM =P

EDIT: I know what it was, when I was deciding on spells I was choosing between Expeditious Retreat and Cheetah's Sprint. Cheetah's Sprint is a swift action and I guess I just missed that difference. *sad face*

Occultists can also get sort of a swift expeditious retreat in Sudden Speed. Same movement bonus(and untyped) but only lasts a minute.


I don't know the AP but it sounds like you might be fighting some undead maybe? A wand of Disrupt Undead, spiked gauntlets to change the damage type of your unarmed strikes, or other anti-undead measures?

I'll second the scrolls that AVR suggested. Also let's not rule out handy slotless Wondrous Items. If you need energy type damage and aren't encountering creatures with Resist Fire or immunity Fire yet, having an Elixir of Fire Breath is decent (1100 GP for 3 shots of 4d6 Fire damage, DC 13 Ref save for half).

That makes me feel less bad, as we have 2 campaigns going at the moment and I'm playing an Occultist in the other one.

Still feel silly though =P
