So I was thinking cloistered cleric? Drop the combat aspect of the cleric to become a knowledge based skill monkey and focus her mainly on buffing the party and undead with spells. Went with these stats 10 str 14 dex - con (thinking of making her necropolitan for story reasons) 14 int 18 wis...

Hey guys, Resurrecting my thread because I've got a new question pertaining to this character concept. So, my group just picked up again after the holidays and the DM set us all at level 6. Which puts me one level away from starting to pick up pale master levels finally (currently 1 level of...

Oh I did post over there, and yea I got quite a bit of good feedback. Here is the thread if you are interested. http://www.enworld.org/forum/d-d-legacy-discussion/274957-palemaster-gish.html I just thought I'd bring up the pale master with you to see if perhaps you had ever tried it out...

I've been trying to make the pale master prestige class work for a melee based wizard, seeing as a lot of the perks of the prestige class are useful in close combat. All the touch spells, the undead traits, strength bonus from the arm graft, etc. My character is only just starting the...

Would Dex + Weapon Finesse work on my touch attacks as well? Are my touch attacks considered to be light weapons? Yea I just mentioned magic missile as it seems like the ideal spell for fell drain. Its level 1 and can hit multiple enemies if you choose. I might still go with that over combat...

Hmm the level in Ranger does sound interesting. I don't expect my character to ever wear heavy armor so that might be a good idea. I went with high strength for a few reasons. For one I'll need help with all my to hit rolls. Since I'm using a two handed scythe I'll get extra damage on...

Ok so here is my revised character now. Human 1 Fighter / 4 Wizard (Necromancer) (prohibited schools evocation/enchantment) Str 18 Dex 12 Con 12 Int 16 +1 at level 4 (will probably continue to add stat points here) Wis 10 Cha 10 Weapons: Scythe for tripping or Scimitar...

Alright so I have some pretty good ideas on what to do for spells now without evocation. Some of the replacements from Conjuration I'm considering are below. I don't have any bonus to ranged touch attacks (10 dex) so I'm shying away a bit from the orb spells and rays and such. Kelgore's...

Yah now that I've been looking at all the spells in the spell compendium and such, I think dropping evocation might be the way to go. There do seem to be a whole lot of evocation like spells in conjuration, and heck they might even fit the flavor of my character better with all the acid stuff...

Hmm so which other school would you suggest dropping instead? Illusion does seem pretty important if I want to melee. Do you think the Illusion spells will give me enough protection that I can drop Abjuration instead? I guess my biggest loss would be dispel magic in that case? I kinda want...

mmm yea my bad on the Web spell. Not sure how I missed that. I'm very new to the pen and paper dnd as you guys can probably tell. I guess I wasn't sure which schools to prohibit. It seemed like since I was going to have access to undead minions I wouldn't need the summon spells from...

Well again, I see the benefits of going Cleric, but I'm mostly trying to play by the book, and attempt the challenge of taking the Pale master prestige class in a direction that might be more suited to the benefits it grants the player. Here are some more details on my character: Feats so far...

Hey Nifft, Thanks for all the advice. Yah I know going for cleric is probably the better way to go for a melee necromancer type character, but I have my heart set on playing the palemaster prestige class even though from what I've heard it isn't so great. I just love the flavor of the class...

Hmm interesting. If I took one level of Spellsword I would gain some more hit points, and saving throws? And I would lose the wizard bonus feat at level 5 in exchange. Might be worth it. Has anyone here ever tried making a Palemaster into a Gish? Any advice on spells? I guess I should...

Hello All, I have a character concept that involves putting all the palemaster prestige class benefits to use because they are very melee oriented. I'm essentially trying to make a wizard that can hold his own on the front lines of battle with a scythe, while casting AoE spells, using his...
