Hi all,
I am finishing up some NPCs for one of my worlds just now, and I am stuck on one of them.
He is a Marshal 1/Bard 15 diplomancer, and king of one of my larger countries. His whole thing is never having to raise his hand in anger. And hes strutting around with a passive +60 in Diplomacy, +70 when he activates his marshal stance.
Hes not amazingly optimized, hes not supposed to be. Hes supposed to be good enough that anyone 5 levels lower than him wont be able to face him (which I think is true given his Diplomacy).
What I am stuck on is spells. I have a few slots to knock around. Taken all the half elf sub levels, so I already have Command (1st), Zone of Truth (2nd) and Sending (4th), leaving me with 6 0ths, 4 1sts, 4 2nds, 4 3rds, 3 4ths and 3 5ths to play with. (Im going to ignore that he gets to know more spells while his aura is up. Hes not exactly going to be wanting for spells, should any party try and kill him. Either hes too strong and will talk them down within one or 2 spells, or he will die...).
Any tips?
Also, Im looking for some clarity on the level 8 Half-Elf substitution. It says it replaces the 4th level spell I get at 8th level. Bards dont seem to get a 4th level spell at 8th...
