I see. Are you certain that particular cloak is from Sharel? None of the Artisan guides I looked at have it listed

Just brainstorming here. Has anyone ever tried a half fighter half wizard build (or sth like that)? Are we sure that it is going to end up worse than a Magus?

Any advise on a Slayer build? Are archetypes worth it? On paper they don't seem fun.
4 rogue (knife master)/16 Slayer STR based makes sense ?

Ranged is busted because Studied Target is still stacking. Even without it it's still very strong.

Uh, I guess that's a bug. Only works on ranged Desiderius ?

Are you using an archetype? Maybe spawn slayer or base class?

P.S When I last played maximum level you could reach was 18. Is there any meaningful 20th level ability worth it in any class?

Use Spawn Slayer if your build focuses on Combat Maneuvers since you get big bonuses vs large targets you would otherwise struggle with.

Pics are base Slayer since that has most feats. Vanguard is good for melee since it gets Uncanny Dodge. Vanguards Bond is unlimited use Move Action. I like single-classing it to get all the good advanced Rogue stuff, Combat Style, Trapfinding, Familiar, etc.

You can get to 20 now. I’m closing in on 19 in Pitax Palace. Will find out if Rogue capstone is good - looks like it should be.

So was about to put Tristian back on bench then he charged in and soloed Narthropple Mages while everybody else was stuck in the hall, which got him Robe of Eyes.

Pretty freakin good when you’re already Blind and like to Charge around to turn Crane Wing on but can’t get Uncanny D naturally.

Amiri Freebooter/Thug (Dreadful Cleave) with Unstoppable Khanda was destroying everything else before he could get there.

Only works when the rest of your party are picking their butts. Usually not much of an issue since things don’t live that long.

I know nothing about EKs yet, but yes, Magus (or some subclass) is on my to do list.

No idea where that is

Haplo, how do you get 30 INT on your Sword Saint? Starting 16, +2 bokken potion, +2 ring of circumstances, +8 hat, that's 28, still two short of your screenshot?

Also what does everyone think is the best weapon for a mage to equip? Some of the more powerful quarterstaves seem to have caster bonuses such as +spell penetration, otherwise there's Arcane Protector for an easy +3 AC I suppose.

Ruin depends on Alignment, Chaotic gets the pen. Evil gets +4 profane INT from Cephal's Staff.

I'm liking the Sacred +4 DEX Bow.

Aww that'd be awesome but my mage is a Sorcerer, not a Wizard.

The Call (staff) has Glitterdust at will and two Deva summons per rest. Linzi has been switching between that and Agile weapons.

That's nice I suppose. I'll probably go for Quarterstaff, then.
