Building a character for stand alone versatility -help please

How exactly are you planning to qualify for MT with beguiler1 / favored soul1

 

[Jeffrie]

Versatile Spellcaster, oh, Heighten Spell. Right.

Have you seen that trick before? It's not really rare, if it wasn't so late i'd search up the link for you.

That would make all 7 feats. I should edit that.

good night

If you allow partial BAB & Saves, this is the FL build you'd want:
Rogue 2/Bard 7/Ur-Priest 1/Sublime Chord 1/Fochlucan Lyrist 9
Rogue 2/Bard 6/Mindbender 1/Ur-Priest 1/Sublime Chord 1/Fochlucan Lyrist 9


If Warlock could theoretically qualify for the arcane aspect, you might want to consider this one:
Warlock 6/ Mindbender 1/ Ur-Priest 2/ Eldritch Disciple 8/ Hellfire Warlock 3

Versatile Spellcaster, oh, Heighten Spell. Right.

VERSATILE SPELLCASTER:
. . .
For example, a sorcerer with this feat can expend two 2nd-level spell
slots to cast any 3rd-level spell he knows.

HEIGHTEN SPELL
. . .
The heightened spell is as difficult to prepare and cast as a spell of its effective level.

Note that Rogue 2 is really not needed for Fochlucan. Magic items CAN qualify you for PrCs, so just shell out that money for a ring of evasion. Or if you want to do it "right" (but much more feat heavy), you can go into Spelldancer, which grants full (arcane) casting and Evasion at 2nd level.

The only Artificer i can find is a Gnome Artificer, and thanks but no.

Artificer is a base class introduced in the Eberron Campaign Setting. It's a Magic Item Creating specialist. You don't cast spells, but you end up being able to imitate the ability to cast spells so you can put them into items.

3/4 BAB, good Will saves, CHA stat important for the build so helps with the social skills, 4+int skillpoints, d6 HD. The UMD skill will be your bread and butter, so anything that boosts that will be good.

So you'll never cast Cure Light Wounds, Charm or Fireball, but you can use a scroll of Charm, a wand of Cure Light Wounds and use a ring of Fireball, as well as use potions, swing the magical sword you just made, walk around with your magical armor, and have your construct guarding your back.

You get the ability to temporally enchant items further with the Artificer's Infusions list, it's version of spellcasting.

So, you want to be in social circles? Equip that cloak, ring and hidden dagger you designed just for such an occasion. Sneaking around at night? Swap out your gear. Cast a Divine scroll, use an Arcane spell from your wand, Apply the Bane weapon property on your sword temporally with your Infusions because you'll likely be dueling an Elf later, and so on, and so on.

The trick with making an Artificer work is having enough time to plan beforehand. You can have a wide variety of tricks up your sleeve, but only if you know which tricks to pack into your sleeve beforehand. This is a very planning-intensive class.

I won't use items to quialify. Even if the dm allowed, if you lose it or get dispelled or whatever your fokcet. It consider it off limits in every way.

Aren't Warlock and Urpriest both evil? That's a no.


As for Artificer, i don't think i'm fluent enough. I'm having too much trouble with this already.

 

[Empirate]

Ur-Priest is about as evil as it gets, what with cheating the gods and stuff like that. Warlock must be of a chaotic or evil alignment, meaning CG or CN are no problem. CG seems like a good fit for Fochlucan.

 

[Jeffrie]

OP says True Neutral or Lawful Neutral. Very careful planner, this guy.

How about the Urban Druid?

Much of the standard Druid's spellcasting, better social skill list,Normal and Animated Object options as a companion (plenty of RP usage out of that!), Combat and social abilities, Wildshape into animals and objects typical in a city (escape the enemy by Wildshaping into a Desk, a lamp post, an armchair, than pummel them as a construct!)
