Malvoisin's Savage Tide OOC Thread *Resurrected*

Yeah, Beguilers are enchantment-focused, while Duskblades (from what I recall) are focused around buffs and similar. I'll have a look at the RG for reference, but I'm loathe to try and build a fighter/wizard, simply because I feel that they don't do either job particularly well.

What about an archer? Is anyone focused on ranged combat?

Yeah, it looks like are group has plenty of people who can buff already. I don't think we have anyone who is all that skilled in ranged combat. That could definitely be an option.

Well, Chongo is designed as a skirmishing "throw a few spears and then close to melee" type character - ideal for boarding ships - but he's not a full ranged combatant. I will say that it would be nice to have a blaster-caster onboard, but it's not strictly necessary. My opinion? Play what you like.

Mmmmm, maybe Arcane Archer PrC (DMG) is an option then.....

I'd be open to a build that leads in this direction, sure...

 

[Legildur]

Just looking at the Arcane Archer, and I had forgotten that it doesn't advance casting... so that won't make much of an option.

Current thoughts are to play an elf (not sure what particular type though):

- Paladin (taking racial substitution levels from Races of the Wild)
- Cleric (bow speciliast, if the Forgotten Realms? option is available where they get Point Blank Shot as a bonus feat? Can someone confirm, Mal in particular)
- Wizard (possibly specialist)
- Fighter (concentrating on comp long bow)
- Warlock (probably a bit boring, but effectively also an archer)

Of course, the Paladin/Cleric options (eventually) provide some healing capability.

Thoughts?

I'm not sure what option this would be...is it a regional feat from the FRCS? If so, I may allow it, but I would need to know the particulars.

Thanks. It wasn't really clear to me what sources were available, so I'll probably leave setting specific options (such as FRCS) out of the equation.

My thoughts:
- I think we need some arcane damage/utility more than pure ranged myself. Something when Kalen cannot enchant/illuse it, maybe.
- Col is *backup* divine, not a healer (as I have pointed out before). However, give him a wand of cure light wounds, and he's your man.
- Warlock could fit some of the arcane damage or ranged role, but since Col will be focusing on the UMD bit and Kalen on the social skills bit, not sure what that would leave. Could be a blaster/arcane damage monster with the right abilities (they added a few recently with Dragon Magic and Complete Mage).
