Well... barkskin is neither a clerical or a wizard spell. 'tis druidic. Should we perhaps swap out cleric spells for druid in her accessibles? Would make sense, flavor-wise.

 

[Shade]

Yes, I think that would be appropriate.

Hmm, I think I was just reading druid in there due to the flavor. The nice thing is that the natural armor ought to stack, unlike mage armor. Magic vestment might help if we want cleric spells, too.

 

[Shade]

So..switch to druid spells, or allow her to gain barkskin from the Plant domain?

 

[demiurge1138]

Ooh. Domains is something I hadn't thought of. Let's give her clerical with access to the Animal, Plant and Trickery domains. Maybe Luck as well/instead of Trickery.

 

[Shade]

Sounds great! Let's give her all four domains.

Updated.

Do we want to saddle her with the 20% arcane spell failure chance of elven chain? Maybe give her an ability similar to some "battlemage" prestige classes wherein she naturally lowers/negates arcane spell failure chances?

 

[demiurge1138]

Yeah. Armored casting. Can cast all spells in light armor?

 

[Shade]

Like so?

Armored Casting (Ex): The Faerie Queen may ignore the arcane spell failure chance of light armor.

Let's work on her spell list.

Spells: The Faerie Queen casts spells as a 20th-level sorcerer. The Faerie Queen can also cast cleric spells and those from the Animal, Luck, Plant, and Trickery domains as arcane spells.
