Hi. I am trying to make a character concept that resembles Dirk Gently from the Holistic detective series (Douglas Adams stuff. if you haven't read it or seen the series, it's totally worth it). The basic idea is that he is a detective who uses eclectic/eccentric ideas to solve cases. I want to make that character in an Eberron setting, as a Diviner Wizard. What would be an appropriate prestige class? What feats would you recommend?
I am thinking Fatespinner as the level 7 class and the investigate feat. The fate spinner class is connected to the idea that there is chaos and still it is connected. Wild mage slightly fits the bill, but it's about pure chaos, which I would claim is the antithesis of DG character. Feel free to debate that point :). The investigate feat makes him a detective. The divination specialisation also adds to the idea that he is 'investigating' stuff. I plan on taking Collegiate Wizard and Apprentice at level 1 to get him an all round education and then start the detective agency at level 5 mentor with an apprentice to help him along. The problem is at level 6. What PrC should I take there to fill in?
I would appreciate all help!!
(He's not a Psychic BTW in the books as the serial tries to indicate, and I would want to stay closer to the book concept).
The constraints:
1. Divination specialist Wizard
2. Books allowed: Eberron stuff, Core 3.5 and Complete: Warrior, Arcane, Divine, Adventurer
3. the character should be optimised though despite roleplay feat tax. So a loss of CL would be a negative.
Current build: Human Wizard
1. Collegiate wizard, Apprentice, Raven Familiar
3. Investigate
5. ?
6. ? PrC?
7. Fate-spinner?
8. Fate-spinner?
9. Fate-spinner? (Feat? Mastery of Chaos and Order?)
10. Fate-spinner?
Thanks in advance!!
