I'm about to retire the character in my groups current campaign (basically, I've been playing in the deep end of the alignment pool and it's causing a little to much friction). We're not exactly a high CO group, so I've been playing down a little and covering the Healbot / Utility Caster / Blaster / BFC / Debuffer / Buffer slot.
Options for a new character have been running through my head:
Truenamer - even I'm not that much of a masochist. :(
Sorcadin - just using the standard suite of sorcerer spells, I realized I could solo the party. :(
Hellfire Warlock (sue me, we're a beer and pretzels group) - lower end of the CO scale, not to flexible either. Think I have a winner here. :)
So, basic build is Binder 1 / Warlock 2 (detect magic) / Anima Mage 5 (houseruled to work) / Uncanny Trickster 3 / Legacy Champion 6 / Hellfire Warlock 3 (not in exact order).
Exploit Vestige has been houseruled to give me an extra invocation when used, Vestige Metamagic has been houseruled to give one free use of a metamagic or meta spell-like.
Hellfire is 3 + 2 (UT) + 5 (LC) = 10 * 2d6 + EB 8d6 (Warlock 17).
Toss in the Chausuble for 30d6.
Feats needed: Improved Binding, one metamagic (or metaspell-like), and Least Legacy.
Feats wanted: Apprentice (considering a Fiend of Possession / Fiend of Corruption Cohort), Flyby Attack, Quicken SP, maybe Maximize / Empower SP?. Others?
Items needed: Legacy item. :( Truthfully these kinda suck, but I have been told it's possible to build a good one. Thinking about gauntlets that enhance my Blast. Not in the Eldritch Admixture way, more like in the guantlets are my bow, EB is my arrow kinda way..... If I can talk my DM into it, what would be good enhancements? Straight enhancement bonus is ok, but I won't have that much trouble hitting most RTA. Holy is out, I'll be a non-chaotic warlock. Adding +2d6 damages seems a waste. Splitting would be great, but maybe a little over the top (maybe a +4 or +5 cost?). Hmmm... still kind of a rough idea.
Chausuble, Horizon goggles, bracers of archery (+ rod of precision), belt of battle / healing), items to UMD.
Speaking of items to UMD, thinking about an (ancestral relic / item familiar (low cheese) that'd be a spell gem / infinite scrollcase to fill with scrolls to UMD. Just destroy unneeded treasure and fill gem with scrolls.
Invocations: Have to spend a lesser on brimstone or hellrime. Starting at level 10 (Warlock 7) so....
Least: Eldritch Spear (I am the Archer / Blaster), See the Unseen (lots of invisies), Summon Swarm (to qualify for Anima Mage) to ? Draconic Knowledge? Magic Insight (already have Detect Magic at will) (Oh yeah, DFA invocations allowed).
Lesser: Brimstone Blast. Exploit Vestige: Humanoid Shape? Normally I'd look at Fell Flight, or Walk Unseen, but I may be able to pick up a template for "free".
"Free" Template: (I'd really like to play a Pixie Warlock, but that's out.) Wendigo LA +2 (usually estimated at +4, but getting a break), for 9000xp, I get it for free and will only be one level behind. This does put me back in the deep end of the alignment pool, but could be a lot of fun if played right.
Sorry for the long post, having a little trouble organizing my thoughts at 2AM. :)
