Tiny Aggravation

[unseenmage]

I have a tiny minion with 4 natural attacks and a Necklace of Natural Weapons +1 x4.

I need suggestions for what enhancements would do any good on a minion so small. I'm not looking to make him a tank, just looking to make him useful.

Thanks regardless Playground.


In case anyone was wondering.

3.0 haste? lol
Vampiric Touch...

Maybe metalline on it's claws to make it easier to burrow into big enemies. I've always loved the mental image of a small critter jumping/flying into a bigger ones mouth the shredding it from the inside.

Throwing would help the little minion to attack a foe without entering his square, thus avoiding any AoO.

Also, being an Artificer, you should have little problems making good use of a Tiny critter with 4 Spell Storing natural attacks.

Suggestions for which spells to use for this Spell Storing?


I havn't been much more than a cheap-fu artificer up to this point. Sadly this is probably the first time I've tried to improve my combat effectiveness. :smallfrown:

Hold person, shocking grasp, ghoul touch, vampiric touch, sanctum spell bestow curse come to mind. It could need a little bit of research, but remember that as an artificer you have access to every spell from every list: there could be some PrCs that have juicy 3rd level spells*.

EDIT: *There should be a topic somewhere on this forum or on brilliantgameleologists about this: I'll add a link if I find it.
EDIT_2: I found it. Consolidated List of "Bargain Bin" Spells for Artificers (http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=12661).
Notable "cheap" spell for a Spell Storing weapon: 2nd level - Bestow Curse (Demonologist, BoVD), Otiluke's Resilient Sphere (Trapsmith, DS); 3rd level - Dispel Magic, Greater (Trapsmith, DS), Dominate Person (Thayan Slaver, FR-UE), Hold Monster (Thayan Slaver, FR-UE).
