SwordSage/Ruby Knight/Spell Dancer Ideas and Discussion
« on: March 04, 2010, 04:08:34 PM »
I've been wanting to play a RBV for a while so started working up a few builds.  Here is one for consideration and discussion.

I realize that going SpellDancer is probably not the most optimal due to all those sucky prereqs but the Spell Dance itself should make up for that.

Cloistered Cleric 3/ Church Inquisitor 1/ Swordsage 1/Ruby Knight 4/ Spell Dancer 1

Domains: Knowledge, Planning, ?????????, Inquisition(or Knowledge Devotion)

Order of Progression
1) CC
2) CC
3) CC
4) CI
5) SS
6) RK
7) RK
8) RK
9) RK
10) SD

Feats
[spoiler]
1)Combat Casting
Human) Dodge
Flaw) Persistent Spell
Flaw) Endurance
Domain) Extend Spell
3) Martial Study (Crusader Strike)
6) Martial Stance (Iron Guard's Glare)
9) Mobility
[/spoiler]


BAB: +5  (Hello Divine Power)

Saves F: +4  R: +4 W: +11

Class Goodies and Features
[spoiler]8th Level Cleric Casting
RKV:  2 Maneuvers and 1 Stance
        Divine Recovery
SS:  6 Known, 4 Readied, 1 Stance
       Quick to Act +1
       WF(Discipline?)
CI: Inquisition Domain (perhaps traded for Knowledge Devotion)
     Detect Evil[/spoiler]

Maneuvers & Stances:
Martial Study (Crusader STrike)
Martial Stance (Iron Guards Glare)
Swordsage
1) Charging Minotaur
2) Mountain Hammer
3) Shadow Jaunt
4) Cloak of Deception
5) ?
6) ?
Stance) Island of Blades
Ruby Knight
1) ?3
2) ?4
Stance) ?


Bottom line is to begin using Spell Dancing for Persisted Spells at 10th level and develop further from there.

Of course will finish out RKV and would likely take more Spell Dancer and Inquisitor levels to Stagger the RKV levels particularly after reaching Divine Impetus.

Thoughts?

AFAIK you can't do marital study at level 1 since your initiator level is only 0.5

depends on which side of that argument the DM follows.

Rebe, you're right... I'm on the side that says .5 IL doesn't round up.  I'll just have to give up getting the juicier 2nd level manuevers.

Reordered my Feats for it to be legal.
