Hey everyone,
Im just looking for some advice on making an abjurant champion.
My main character is a Cloistered Cleric/Prestige paladin of tyranny/warblade/ruby knight.
The abjurant champion is my cohort from leadership. I like the idea of me being a melee divine caster and my cohort being a melee arcane caster.
From what im reading a nice mix would be abjurant champ + runesmith. Then i can just wear fullplate with no hassle.
And then use Eldritch Knight as filler if needed.
What im having a hard time deciding the mix of each class.
Abjurant champion needs:
BA +5
Combat Casting
Ability to cast 1st level arcane.
Rune Smith needs:
COncentration 5 ranks
Craft Stone working 8 ranks
Scribe scroll
Armor Prof Heavy
Ability to cast 1st level arcane.
We use flaws in the game so i was thinking i could just use one of the 3 flaws im gonna take to get Armor Prof Heavy.
Alternatively i can just take a fighter level.
I would prefer to lose as lottle caster levels possible but still not wait too long to get into the prestige classes.
Its gonna be 6th at earliest because of the BA 5 for Ardent champ, or if i got runesmith first its still level 5 because of the 8 ranks needed in craft.
SO what mix of levels do you guys think will work best?
Fighter 1 (BA 1), wizard 6 (BA 3) , runesmith 1 (BA 1), then ardent champ.
Or possible this build?
Fighter 1 (BA 1), Battle Sorcerer 4 (BA 3) , runesmith 1 (BA 1), then ardent champ
Or is there ways i just havent come across that you guys can recommend?
