[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 4435864, member: 19675"] Forked from: [url=http://www.enworld.org/forum/showpost.php?postid=4174631] Mage-Brute build help [/url] This is the environment into which I'm going to try a variant on the (virtually) non-casting spellcaster. So, I decided on Sorcerer with Dragon Heritage and Dragon Breath as the basis. He will probably be Human. The important questions are: 1) Do I run this guy as a solo-classed Sorc (maximizing his BW) or do I multiclass him with some kind of warrior class? 2) If I multiclass him, is it better to start him off as a Sorc or as a warrior? Option 1- Sorc: If he's human, I start with 2 Feats, meaning I can have Dragon Breath right out of the gate. The spell "Master's Touch" would allow him to use a weapon with proficiency, and since it has no S components, he can cast it in armor. Now, he won't be proficient in the armor...but that spell and BW means it won't matter much. Its KEWL right out of the gate, but may experience some difficulties in surviving or contributing to early combats. Option 2- warrior class: Weapon and armor proficiencies. Unfortunately, I won't be able to start using the BW until 6th level at best, since even the first Draconic Feat has Sorc1 as a prereq. This is the conservative choice, but one that is probably more "do-able." Other suggestions within the framework above are quite welcome. [/QUOTE]
