Hi. In playing a high fantasy 20 pt by custom Tiefling character. I get +2 to strength, and the possibility to get +2 to a mental stat of choice; or no plus or minus to a mental stat at all.
I'm planning on using the Ranger Combat style to get Two Weapon Fighting using Strength and not worrying about Dexterity or finess.
The problem is when I want to get the Dimensional Savant feat tree.
I need advice on methods.
From what I've found, I could take 3 levels in Horizon Walker, the Flickering Step feat, both, or something I'm not familiar with. What are your thoughts an suggestions?
I want to get to it as soon as possible, so I'm thinking I should get both so I can do a two level dip into Fighter, and get a lot of uses.
Thank you,
Captain Sir Hexen Ineptus
Horizon walker gets you more uses of D-door.
Both options have a minimum level of 9 to take the dimensional agility feat.
Look at the retraining rules for retraining the other three feats in the dimensional agility chain. You retrain into them at 9th level when you get dimensional agility.
In general you are better off being an actual spellcaster and taking just Dimensional Agility and then using Spell Perfection (Dimension Door) to quicken the spell for free. It requires fewer feats, it has no range restrictions, and most builds cannot get Dimensional Savant any earlier than 15th anyways due to how long the feat chain is. I've run Dimension Door builds before, and the gish builds that use the spell proper always work best.
If you really want to be a martial, then your best option is Flickering Step plus Teleportation Mastery which together give you a decent number of uses per day. However, if you're doing anything other than single-class Fighter you're going to be pretty feat-starved. Horizon Walker is a possibility, but it delays your class feature progression in your main class and can cause problems in other respects. Dipping Fighter can just compound that problem. If you're giving up 5 levels of progression in your main class, you may as well just go single-class Fighter at that point.
