[QUOTE="sckeener, post: 3594818, member: 8801"] The short version of my question: If you want to be a summoner-alienist, would you rather be a sorcerer, wizard, or archivist? What feats would you pick to begin with and what spells? Long version: I'm trying to create a Summoner at the core, but I'm basing the flavor on Harry Potter's Luna Lovegood character. I just think she'd be great with an Alienist prestige class. I've been running down the classes and I think the Archivist would be a good match for Luna. My problem with the archivist is no familiar, so I'll be missing out on the alienist levels stacking for the purpose of a familiar. Besides...having a Hogwart's Owl would be cool.... Should I care about the familiar? Do you think the Sorcerer or Wizard have other bonuses that matter more such as spell choices. To give Luna an ancestral link to the strange and bizarre, I was thinking about the aberration feats from Lords of Madness, but the Fiendish Codex I seems to have better feats. Or at least I like the mechanic better...the aberration feats' negatives can really add up quick. Any suggestions to extra feats? I was going to make her human so I have that extra feat...The only reason I was going human was to make the rest of her seem strange. I'm open to anything to make a good summoner. I figure the fluff of Luna can be RP if need be. We'll be playing in FR Waterdeep. I am tempted to go the Dagon route and have the character's great grand father (or something) have fled to Waterdeep from a fishing village up the coast from Waterdeep....aka Innsmouth I'm sticking to WotC only solutions (Dragon is fine). I have the Complete Mage and the suggestions in there are good; however if I go the Archivist route, then the spell suggestions do not work. Since I've seen the Abyssal heritage feats, I've discounted the aberration blood feats, but at one time I was considering Aberration blood (big eyes) and Ocular Spell....I just had this image of big Anime eyes that could pop out on eye stalks to shoot rays....and then return to 'normal' [/QUOTE]
