Random Tome build
« on: April 15, 2010, 11:29:35 AM »
So, I was reading through Frank & K's Tomes and noticed two feats.

Quote from: Tome of Fiends
Fiend Cabalist
You were trained in the mystic arts by a powerful fiend, and your magical power stems from a dark source.
Prerequisites: Caster level 1
Benefit: You gain Knowledge (The Planes) as a class skill, all of your spells gain the [Evil] subtype, and spells you cast and magic items you create radiate an evil aura equal to the strength of their normal magical aura. Any spells you cast that already have the Evil subtype gain a +4 caster level.
Special: This feat can only be taken at 1st level.
Quote from: Tome of Necromancy
Child Necromancer [General]

Prerequisites: Caster Level 1+, Must know at least one necromancy spell of each level you can cast
Benefit:Special: This feat can only be taken at 1st level. If circumstances ever cause a character to no longer meet the prerequisites of this feat, they may choose any metamagic feat they qualify for to permanently replace this feat.

I realised that there are a number of Necromancy spells with the [Evil] descriptor. So...

Ghoul strongheart halfling Dread necromancer 8/Ur-priest 2/Mystic theurge 10
Feats: Child Necromancer, Fiend Cabalist, Practiced Spellcaster (dread necromancer), Spell Focus (evil)

9th-level arcane and divine casting with up to CL 29 on both sides, and permanently Tiny. Any suggestions on improvements to the build? Take Attune Domain a few times, or A Feast Unknown->Devil Preparation? Or head into Divine Metamagic?

My work
The tier system in a nutshell:
[spoiler]Tier 6: A cartographer.
Tier 5: An expert cartographer or a decent marksman.
Tier 4: An expert marksman.
Tier 3: An expert marksman, cartographer and chef who can tie strong knots and is trained in hostage negotiation or a marksman so good he can shoot down every bullet fired by a minigun while armed with a rusted single-shot pistol that veers to the left.
Tier 2: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything, or the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.
Tier 1: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything and the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.[/spoiler]

Fiend Cabalist begs to be paired with Abyssal Specialist ACF from DotU, the same way Tainted Sorc/Scholar does.

If you're already [evil] and undead then Tainted XXX is always a great idea. But other then that, I think it work really well. Why Practiced Spellcaster for Ur Priest? His CL is already above his HD.

I overlooked the level increase from mystic theurge levels. Fixed.
