Working on a possible Cohort for an Incarnum themed party/character. Idea I have is for a Witchborn Binder/Incarnate to act as the "anti-magic" guy, vs typical arcane/divine caster enemies.
The Witchborn binder has plenty of anti-magic abilities, but the main ability I want to focus on for this thread is the Word of Abrogation ability to essentially counterspell at will.
Basically these are the numbers I have on it:
Level 14 character with a level 12 cohort (The witchborn)
Level 12 being the lowest level it can use the ability, by entering as Incarnate 6/Witchborn Binder 6.
With this set up the character will have an effective Meldshaper level of 9th. The ability in question works like dispel magic making a caster level check with a bonus based on essentia vs a DC of 11+enemy caster level.
Now assuming the "main character" is level 14, I will assume enemies are level 14 which would give a DC of 25 most of the time.
With an essentia cap of 3 at level 12, my check would basically be 1d20+12 vs DC 25 to counterspell.
What I am looking for are ways to boost this roll so I can more easily counterspell enemies. Something like Practiced Spellcaster would be useful since WB Binder loses 4 meldshaper levels over its 10 levels, but I'm not sure on the legality of the feat with incarnum.
I would also like to throw in the feat Arcane mastery so I can take 10 on these caster level checks, but to do that I need to find a way to boost the check by at least 3 to be able to counter 1 spell every round without fail vs level 14 enemies.
