With your Mobility and Crane Style enhanced Fighting Defensively, you're at a 32 AC. By now you've got Tartuccio's Ring and hopefully bought a suit of plate mail from Oleg. Notes: This is a HUGE level for your Tank. This alleviates the need to take pointless and RP-ruining dips into Monk. Notes: IUS is to set us up for Crane Style next level. Skills: Mobility +1, Perception +1, Persuasion +1 Your starting AC is 23 without even fighting defensively! Also, with this build, your Dwarf will begin the game in Scale Mail with a regular Tower Shield. Anything lower is scummy min/maxing to me. Note than an 8 is the lowest I will allow an attribute to sink to, and even then only if it was brought there by a racial mod. Cultivating it now will pay dividends down the road. Notes: Mobility we're only taking to 3 for the synergy bonus to Fighting Defensively, Persuasion is always useful even with a relatively low Charisma, and Perception will eventually be a class-skill and he has a racial bonus to it. Skills: Mobility 1, Perception 1, Persuasion 1 I have a real soft spot for MC tanks, but more than that, I just love Dwarves. It's all about HP, AC and immunities to make you close to invincible.

I'm aiming to have as much variety as possible here.ĭivine Dragonknight (Divine Guardian / Sorcerer / Dragon Disciple / Eldritch Knight) - Angelkinĭwarven Defender (Tower Shield Specialist / Stalwart Defender) It's too easy to fall into the pitfall of playing all Aasimar because they have the best stats. Also, I like a mixture of races and concepts.
You won't see 7's (or even worse, 5's) for attributes in my builds. I hate min/maxing, it's the lazy man's way of squeezing 1 or 2 extra points out of a build at the cost of the RP in the game. My builds aim for showing meaningful gain and ability throughout every level.ģ. I've noticed a LOT of builds get posted out there where the character is a walking liability that contributes nothing until level 15+ when the uber-awesome combo it was building toward takes affect. I only post builds that I've personally used on Challenging or harder difficulties and can verify that they pull their weight. My builds need to suit the character's concept most of all.Ģ. If the RP aspect of this game doesn't interest you and you're just looking for whatever gives you the biggest numbers to go slay the other numbers, this guide isn't for you. Sure, you could dip Monk or Vivisectionist in just about anything to make it stronger, but 99% of the time it doesn't make a lick of sense. As both a roleplayer and rollplayer, I strive for three standards in each build.ġ. Good: Blindness, Boneshaker, Burning Arc, Mirror Image, Protection from Arrows, Web, See Invisibility, Other buff spells.Here's a companion piece to my Companion Builds thread where I aim to share some of the insights I've found for the main character in the game.Mandatory: Blur, Cat’s Grace, Create Pit, Glitterdust, Hideous Laughter, Invisibility, Scorching Ray.Good: Color Spray, Magic Missile, Mage Armor, Shield, Snowball, True Strike.Mandatory: Enlarge Person, Reduce Person, Grease.If your party covers certain spells(usually the buffs), you can leave them out. Stinking cloud against undead or when you face lots of demons is not worth it.įinally, this examines the spell list in a vacuum. And of course, enemies you face in certain areas of the game or different campaigns change value of spells. An arcane bloodline/sage sorcerer who focuses on Illusion can make Phantasmal killer/Weird work consistently on harder difficulties.įor certain niche builds, like martial or polymorphing wizards, you can utilize spells not mentioned here (like dragonkind and various personal buffs). Someone who does not bother to take relevant feats has no use for rays, spells from your prohibited school as a wizard are likely not worth two slots. Important note: Depending on your build, some of the following spells become more or less important.
