Help with Mord Sith type character


Advice

Sovereign Court

I want to play a Mord Sith like character, kind of in the lines of Cara with maybe a bit of Deena from Legend of the seeker TV show (season 2). I want to do it using the existing classes in the Pathfinder books. Knowing how they are almost like inquisitors to Darken Ral and do his bidding. I also want to make her a follower of Calistria since the Mord Sith seem almost like dominatrix's.

Any suggestions? other classes to take with maybe inquisitor but keeping within the rules of Pathfinder

Class, Skills, Feats would be helpful

Thanks

I love Mord Sith. But honestly, read the books. Cara and Deena are so much better in them

On Topic. Inquisitor, Leather armor. and Weapon Finesse use a club.
If possible get the DM to give you a Club with a Psionic Power called Inflict Pain usable on hit (if you're high lvl) or certain times/day. Possibly more times per day as you lvl up to on hit when you're at 15 or so and a scaling DC to match. You wouldn't need much else. Maybe take the Enforcer feat and go to town with your intimidate checks

Just my two cents. :)

Don't they also steal magic, its been a long time since I read the book. Not sure how to pull that off in PF

ring of spell turning/rod of absorbtion are perfect candidates for that power

ya, it's been a long time since I read them too. I'll have to research them a bit, but they were immune/stole magic somehow.

*research = google*
Mord Sith

They can capture magic and use it against it's owner in the books and reflect the magic back in the movies.

For the books I'd Homebrew an Absorption effect that fuels a damaging Cause Pain-like spell.

For the Movie version a rod of spell turning like ability (or the actual rod) would be perfect.

Honestly, based on my hazy reccolections of The Sword of Truth and that article, Zon-Kuthon sounds like a more appropriate patron than Calistria for a loyal Mord-sith.

Calistria just isn't as evil as that. Now, a rogue raised like that and then going over to Calistria seems possible...but that's going to have to involve a radical personality shift, too.

Mechanically, the Spellbreaker Archetype (from Ultimate Combat) and the Torture Inquisition (from Ultimate Magic) seem perfect for this.


Sandman might work, with the sleep effects re-skinned as knocking the target out with pain. At level 20 you get Spell Catching, which sounds very familiar.

Also, I would not recommend reading Wizard's First Rule. It is too violent for young readers, and too poorly written for older readers. For great justice: Awesome review of WFR


Just tossing out an idea here, what about a Superstitious Barbarian Archetype going with the Ghost Rager? This gets you pretty dang close to magic immunity, then you can wield an agiel or re-skinned club of some sort...
