Chicken and Beef Stew, give the chicken to the dog, or neigborhood cats, er … gators.
Heh. Ancient mountain secret- Super tonic.
Vinegar, garlic, turmeric, ginger, horseradish, and cayenne pepper all mixed into one ungodly awful concoction. You'll speak in tongues you never knew existed the first few times you use it, but I haven't been sick in over four years because of it.
Take care and get well soon.
Except I hate chicken. lol I'm feeling decent today. I plan to go to work tomorrow since I can breathe and everything doesn't ache.
Ancient white secret — chicken soup. Get well, soon. :)
I'm out with a cold/flu right now so messing around with the toolset or game isn't a high priority. I'll take a look once I feel better and after I finish 1.39.
BG aura is an unresistable -2 penalty to multiple enemies which beats anything you can get from two domains (even Luck and War). DN is arcane.
First, I didn't understand it.
Second, it's not my stuff, it's Obsidians so this was better posted on the Bio forums.
I think the closest to a base class that is evil warrior flavored opposite to the paladin will be the custom Dark Soul class, assuming Kaedrin implements it. But I don't think it's a spellcaster. Dread Necromancer also counts as arcane not divine, right?
I figured it was more interesting from the aspect of other modders learning from it.
i wonder why no even replied to this i wrote it on the 21 oct ….
well that puts an end to all that :)
And having an base class thats not going to get relatively good spells in more than once a day quantity defeats the entire reason to go ED here. If your just going to work on Warlock invocations then you might as well stick to Warlock and not "splash" (I really that that term) a divine caster at all. BG would be completely useless compared to:
3 cleric
3 favored soul + 1 master of radiance
3 spirit shaman + 1 master of radiance
3 druid + 1 master of radiance
You get more "bang for your buck" (also hate that term used in PnP) doing the above four combos. Id much rather have two domains than the BG Aura and spells. and MoR lends itself to invocations alright in my eyes. BG if working for this wouldnt be worth doing in the end anyway.
It has nothing to do with that as it's purely an implementation issue. Blackguards are a prc and as such require base class levels to even start getting spells making the total cost higher. For very specific/niche builds it could be an advantage but pnp is full of such situations. There are whole forums for maximizing class splashing (character optimization).
Thank you so much kaedrin i was afraid of the abuse of the blackguard…..! it would have been unfair to paladin and ranger if the blackguard could just qualify at level 4
That module doesn't have the proper module event scripts so it can't do the needed stacking.
Blackguard is not a valid divine caster choice due to the way it is implemented.
That appeals to me the most. I'd probably go Warlock for 8 levels, Blackguard for 4, Eldritch Disciple for 8 or 10 and Warlock to finish it off for epic campaigns. It'll be a variation of the Blacklock with Turn Undead and Divine Gifts instead of regular Warlock bonuses at the higher levels. Sounds like fun.
base class….WARLOCK IS a BASE CLASS…..warlock 16/4 blackguard/10edritch disciple….worksfine….why dont you want the full progression of warlock is beyond me……why mix it with figther or another weak base class….
Honestly I would just eat the feat/skill requirements for blackguard while leveling up as a warlock. That's the best way to swing it as far as "ease of leveling" goes.
I guess in my way of thinking the primary concern for any sort of build that wants to rely on eldritch blasts is dice progression. If your character is going to use eldritch blasts as their primary source of damage, you need to get as many dice as you can (and eldritch master if at all possible), the new practiced warlock feat will really help with this .The great thing about heartwarder/eldritch disciple is that they let you splash in some extra flavor and utility while still progressing the dice pool.
This really is a problem for ED/paladin builds. For "RP" sake if you want to be a "redeemed" warlock obviously you have to start as a warlock. At what point in your career are you redeemed? 1 level? 4? Whenever you manage to get yourself to lawful good? Now you're leveling as a pally for 8 levels, and getting 4 levels worth of dice progression with practiced invoker. If you have any access to mid-high magic items at this stage you are going to get more damage from a weapon than your eldritch blasts (especially if you're stats are setup with EDM in mind). So now you have 8 pally levels, and qualify for eldritch discipline. You get another 10 levels of dice progression. If you started with 12 warlock levels this is moot, you're lvl 30. If not the only way to get more dice without a second alignment change would be heartwarder, so I hope you planned your feats accordingly.
That's not to say that this is a bad build, or that it won't work. Quite the contrary I think it will work. The heartwarder levels with all the nice charisma boosts would help you qualify for epic divine might for instance.
The alignment change still really bothers me though.
Oh noes! Blackguards will rule the world! Paladin's will cry in their holy water.
