Question about Sorcadin

[Val666]

Hey guys, just a quick question. How good is a Sorcadin with core + completes + exalted deeds only. Let's say...starting at level 2 :v standard Sorcadin build.

Thanks everyone :3

Paladin 2 / Sorcerer 4 / Spellsword 1 / Abjurant Champion 5 / Sacred Exorcist 8 is a standard Sorcadin Gish. It doesn't need Book of Exalted Deeds.

I know it doesn't need BoED Dx but im asking if Sorcadin fits well in a campaign with those books only

[satorian]

Depends what campaign. High op? No, since a sorc being a level behind Wizard is more of an issue for gishes than straight casters. Mid-op or lower, sure. You'd be better off with metamagic reducers available by dumpster diving in wacky books, and you can't really make a Mailmanadin with those limits. Still, boost CHA to high heaven (get it, Paladin, heaven, err...), use X ability to Y stat to key as much as possible off CHA, and you'll be fine going either as a self-buffed dynamo or a solid BAB-ed aiming blaster.

For an Abjurant Champion, Book of Exalted Deeds is pretty good just for Luminous Armor/Greater Luminous Armor, since Mage Armor isn't an Abjuration. So you pretty much get an extra +9 (or +6 while using a lower spell slot) to AC beyond what you would have using Mage Armor.

Problem with that is spontaneous casters have no access to sanctified spells

Oh right. I always forget that because of how stupid it is.
