Hi all! I'm gonna be joining a campaign soon, and have been asked to build a roguish divine caster. The group I'm playing in is high tier-3, low tier-2, and we're starting at level 9
I'm thinking I'll go Rogue 1, Druid 6, Daggerspell Shaper 2. Feat allocation, as I see it, goes something like this:
1: Weapon Focus: Dagger
3: Two-Weapon Fighting
6: Natural Spell
9: Natural Bond
Natural Bond makes up for the 3 lost levels of animal companion progression, filling the multiclass gap quite nicely. Shaper 2 also gets me Tiny Wild Shape, which is nice for stealth forms (cat comes to mind), and the ability to apply my dagger properties to my claws in Wild Shape. I'll be using this, I think, with two merciful daggers, as I sat in on the last session and the party seems rather opposed to killing the 'innocent'.
On that note, it would be really lovely to somehow turn damaging spells into nonlethal damage as well. Anyone know how to do so? Subdual Substitution (SRD) can't be taken by non-divinities, can it?
Any other advice on the build, anyone? Is Natural Bond worth it? And if I go human, what would you recommend I dump my last remaining feat into?
