A party member is aiming at being a Thrallherd. That means, eventually, two level 17 folks ready to serve. While there is a lot of utility, and a lot of cheese, that can be build here; she really wants to use them primarily as mobile debuffing platforms to reduce the saves on people she wants to Dominate.

Thrall 1: Melee Debuffer;
Paladin of Tyranny 3/Hexblade 4/Binder 5/Knight of the Sacred Seal 5

Stand next to someone with Hexblade debuff pet; maybe curse them, maybe use intimidate skill on them, maybe use a poison that will sicken them or attack their wisdom?

-8 all saves being near them, potentially -2/4 from intimidation, -2 from Hexblade curse potentially -2 (or more) from poison?

Thrall 2: Ranged Debuffer;
Bard 10/Dirgesinger 1/Evangalist 1/Fate Spinner 5 <---could use something to replace all that Bardness so long as it advances spell-casting

Doomspeak and Haunting Melody feats; use a ranged weapon with poison

-10 from Doomspeak, -10 from Fate Spinner, force Re-roll with Fate Spinner, -2 from Dirge Singer, -4 from Evangalist. Can escalate fear with partner with Haunting Melody. Possible poison effects. Bard spells won't hurt.


Any obvious source of save debuffing (especially Will save debuffing) I am missing?
Any easy way to sicken?
Any good Will-busting poisons?
Any spells that would help?

Bard 4/SOMETHING 1/Evangelist 1/Lyric Thaumaturge 3/Sublime Chord 1/Fatespinner 5/Dirgesinger 1/SOMETHING 1?

That first free-class can be Warlock and fetch Sickening Blast if nothing else would fit

Is Dragon Magazine an allowed source? Additionally, is Hyperconscious (one of the best psionic supplements) an allowed source? These both affect my advice.
