Hey guys,
I'm making a character for a PbP game. There are damn few limits on resources for character building, and homebrew is accepted and encouraged. This will be starting at level 3, but (optimistically) the build should be epic-ready.
I rolled 6d6b3 and got 14/15/15/16/16/17. I wanted to make a caster (and half the scores are odd), so Old age makes sense. With -3 to physical and +2 to mental, plus a little rearranging, I get:
That's just calling out for dual progression. I know it's a little suboptimal to not get SAD, but with two 18s, I'm thinking of going
Sorcerer/Psion going into
Cerebremancer. I'll be using a
homebrew version. the main features are some cool spell\power and metamagic/metapsionic synergies. It starts earlier, focuses on one aspect more than the other, and loses some progression. The capstone, though makes all future manifesting (or spellcasting) classes dual-progression, so it does make up for it quite well.
The build, tentatively, is Sorcerer 1 / Psion 3 / Cerebremancer 10, then 6 levels of some full-progression manifesting PrC. I might also take 2 more levels of Psion for the bonus feat.
Sorcerer 1 gives me a tiny selection of spells that'll be all I have until I'm into Cerebremancer. I also get a familiar!
Psion 1/2 nets me a little more oomph to start out with. 5 powers known, a small number of PP to play with, and a bonus feat.
After that, 1 more level of Psion then 10 levels of Cerebremancer leaves me with
12 levels of Psion progression and 8 levels of Sorcerer progression at level 14. The class comes with a +2 CL and ML bonus, so I'll be ML14 and CL10. Practiced Spellcaster at some point gives me no CL loss.
Flaws are allowed, so my feat progression (assuming Human) is as follows. I've got some ideas, but I'm not married to them.
1:
Flaw: Mother Cyst [LM]
Flaw:
Human:
Psion bonus: Psicrystal Affinity.
3:
6: Practiced Spellcaster
9:
etc
I'm looking for ideas on build, spells, powers, and feats, especially things to help with the action economy problem I run into later on.
