No Man's Land (Recruitment Closed... Sort of)

[Insight]

[sblock=Insight] - Sure, anything in particular you're looking for, or just general ideas?[/sblock]

[sblock=Jemal]Not sure. This is what I'm looking at right now. Without posting the entire thing: Human Evolved (x2) Ghost Cleric 10, Paladin 2, Monk 1. I'm worried that a Cleric 10 is gonna kind of suck. I'm picking up Practiced Spellcaster, so I'd be Caster Level 13, but I'd be stuck at level 5 spells.

The reason I picked up Monk and Paladin was for the AC (Monk) and the saves (Paladin). I have a Monk's Belt, so I may not need the level in Monk. It doesn't appear to be giving me any benefit other than flurry of blows, stunning fist, and improved unarmed strike, all of which suck at this level anyway.

My AC sucks: 49/36 touch/46 ff. My saves are OK: +31/+27/+36. I won't be able to hit anyone with a BAB of +8, though, so I'd be pretty useless offensively.

Do you think it's worth it at this point to keep trying to develop this guy? I'm not sure what else to do with him.[/sblock]

Insight - Even if Ghost Touch armor doesn't work, Ghost Touch gauntlets probably would. For ranged options, getting your cross class usage of the UMD skill for a wand of Spectral Touch might be the best way to go. Or if you used the Divine Meta route, Liber Mortis has an item called a Nightstick for 7,500gp that provides 4 extra turn attempts a pop.

I think I'm going to hope to use malevolence to take over someone's body and deliver touch attacks that way. Seems to be the path of least resistance. I also have a feat that lets me use touch attacks at range on a selected target at the expense of some turn attempts.

I may not end up sticking with ghost, though. It's a cool idea, but +5 LA might end up being too much to swallow.

Actually, my character has a soulmeld that can heal in a pinch and I think zeb.hillard's character can heal in combat if he took the healing maneuvers from the Devoted Spirit school.

And then there's a couple of us playing defensive characters who, hopefully, won't really need healing.

You know...my AC is 39 when I buff with Mage Armor, people. You don't HAVE to have AC's in the high 50's-100's.

Similarly, I have +28 to hit. I have no chance of hitting an optimized PC, but that doesn't mean I can't hit ECL 20 threats.

Remember, we're not fighting -each other.-

[sblock=insight] Well first off, where's evolved from? that's one i don't know. Also, practiced spellcaster is +4, so you'd be caster lvl 14.[/sblock]

No, we're fighting beings that are threatening the gods... If the God's are scared enough to join all of their forces, then i'm scared enough to shift gears upwards.

That's fine. I just wanted to reassure peeps that it wasn't -necessary-.

I hope.

*gulp*

I'll protect you, Shayuri. And hopefully we'll have better results than the last time we battled an existence-threatening entity from beyond space and time.

[sblock=Jemal]Evolved is from Libris Mortis. It's an LA+1 template that's stackable. I get +2 Str, +2 Cha, one spell-like ability (picked from a list), and Fast Healing 3 from each time I take it.[/sblock]
