Hey all, I'm going to be partaking in a WotW campaign in a week, (session 1), and I was thinking about trying out the Diabolist, but was unsure exactly how would be best to go about it. (the other Idea I had was an anti-paladin, but with a barbarian and a pain taster/anti-paladin I figured I shouldn't overlap too much)
I had a few thoughts on it, and I've had some ideas.
the first, was, of course, wizard. At first level I'd take fighter(or any other martial class), then go into wizard, at 6th level, I'd take a couple levels of eldritch knight, then go into diabolist for at least 6 levels, then likely mix EK and diabolist levels as desired.
the second was to go for an arcanist (school savant) Either conjuration or divination school.
And just go pure arcanist until I could take diabolist levels. This option is technically squishier, but I prefer spontaneous casting to fire and forget, and this one actually stays ahead on a spell level.
the third was a fiendish vessel cleric, This gets divine magic, and all the boons that has, however it forces me to use planar ally instead of planar binding. However, has the added flavor the divine. Though I rather like the idea of Asmodeous going "here is how you do it, now its on you" for the arcanist or wizard character.
The 4th, was to focus and a mixture of summoning and blasting with a sorcerer, Likewise sticking to pure sorcerer levels until diabolist entry. However this one is harder than the other two, as spells known make being a diabolist rather rough.
A few other notes, as far as things go.
wizard+Arcanist will both be taking orator feat (most likely) to save on skill ranks.
Are there any ways to gain stealth/rogueish type skills as class skills? (disguise, acrobatics, etc) for the early period where spells won't be terribly helpful in that regard. (or too limited).
Feel free to make other suggestions I have thought of/listed. Thank you all for your help!
Champion of Dark Powers Noble Drow get a +2 to the DC's of "Evil" spells... Diabolist's Channel Hellfire ability changes the spell to "Evil"...
Now Channel Hellfire and add Lingering or Persistent and Rime to Cold Ice Strike... since Diabolist are all about Conjuration, there's a nice swift action spell for you...
