[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 4439255, member: 19675"] Mithril armor is definitely on his wish list. Whether I can get it or not will depend on the kind of campaign my buddy is running. He has a taste for settings in which special materials and magic items are won, not bought. The PC isn't much a blaster, except with his BW... His spell "wish list" includes things like Hold Portal and Knock, but also "buffs" like Bladeweave, Sonic Weapon and Blades of Fire. But doggone it, blargney, I hadn't even considered Ability Focus (Breath Weapon)! I may just be able to get him to let me take that. The hurdle will be can I convince him that a feat derived BW qualifies for the Feat's "Special attack" prereq...and that a human PC can take Feats from the MM. If I get a familiar, I'll be taking a Toad, no question. However, I'm trying to cajole him into letting me switch out the Familiar for something else- probably a feat of some kind. Familiars may be a staple of magic in RPGs and fiction, but in his campaigns, Familiars (and Animal Companions) often wind up as [I]dead[/I] staples. Considering that the PC is going to be multiclassing with a more combat capable class, the 16-17 Cha he has is probably sufficient. He won't qualify for the top level spells, and he'd only gain 1-5 slots pumping Cha every 4 levels. OTOH, 3 of those will be of the 4th+ level variety. Hmmm...definitely worth thinking about, one extra use each of an 8d6, 10d6 and 12d6 Breath weapon. [/QUOTE]
