Looking to put together a high-powered fear-focused caster build for E6. What I've got so far:
-----
Human (28 point buy)
Str: 8
Dex: 8
Con: 14
Int: 18
Wis: 8
Cha: 14
Flaws: Shaky, Murky-Eyed
ACFs: Abrupt Jaunt, Fighter Bonus Feat
1 - Wizard 1 - Bind Vestige (level 1), Improved Bind Vestige (human), Fell Frighten (flaw), Precocious Apprentice (flaw), Martial Study (Wizard)
2 - Anima Mage 1
3 - Dread Witch 1 - Spell Focus (necromancy)
4 - Dread Witch 2 - Cha 15
5 - Dread Witch 3
6 - Dread Witch 4 - Imperious Command
-----
Questions:
If I understand the RAW right, I don't qualify for any maneuvers at 1st level (because my Initiator Level is 0, due to not being a martial adept), but the Martial Study feat has no prerequisites, so I can still take it, I just don't have any maneuvers available to me when I get to the "pick a maneuver" part of the feat, so I miss out on them. Which is fine, since I really just want Intimidate as a class skill to get into Anima Mage, which happens when I pick Devoted Spirit as my discipline earlier in the feat description. Is this correct?
Any way you can think of for this character to get Fear onto its spell list? I haven't been able to find any domains that grant it as a third level spell, so no luck with Arcane Disciple. I should be able to do okay with Fell Frighten and Blade of Fear and Pain, but Fear would really be nice. Sucks that 6 HD is the cutoff for Scare.
What vestige should I bind? I was thinking Focalor for the debuff aura, but any other suggestions?
Any feats I should be looking out for (either at level 3 instead of Spell Focus, or after level 6)? I've thought of Arcane Thesis for spells I want to Fell Frighten, Greater Spell Focus, and Skill Focus (intimidate), but what else should I take?
Can you think of any way for me to get one more feat at 1st level (without more flaws)? I really want Dreadful Wrath, but I can't seem to fit it in.
Thanks!
