I'm playing through a somewhat redone Reign of Winter. My PC is Half Orc Ankou’s Shadow Slayer 2/Excited Spiritualist 1. The game is pretty deadly. We had one near TPK that we lived through dumb luck and the NPCs being cowards. We had another avoided by me getting very lucky. Several near PC deaths (outside of the near TPK), a few on each party member. One PC death. Doing a LITTLE better.
The other PCs are a heal focused aasimar oracle, a Sor focused on fire/electric damage, and a full blood orc fighter with a bad will save. I'm not sure in or out of character of their details. I don't THINK I'm supposed to know for plot reasons or something. Not sure.
I need a build that is tough at all levels with no glaring weak spots. It isn't going to work to take off at 5th level because I'll be dead by then. I was told not to worry about it making sense, just live. My plan is to force the NPCs to make as many saves/add as many conditions as possible while at the same time using my shadow to get several sneak attacks per round.
My build play looks like this, but I'm not married to it. I'm looking to find anything to make it a little better.
Around 9th level I am planning/hoping to take get the swords modified for Tactically Adapted, one trip and one disarm.
