Tarragon Mapleflash always knew there was something different about herself. Even from a young age she just “saw things” differently. Her mother nurtured this outlook, and it was no wonder at all when she would spend countless hours alone in the woods, where for some reason she just felt much more at ease.

In her wanderings, she came upon a temple of sorts that paid homage to Mystra, the mother of all magic. And here as well, met the Keeper, a young Petal named Teal. Teal recognized in Tarragon that something special as well, and took her under her petals as it were, mentoring her in both her nature, and her ‘other’ nature.

In time, Tarragon Mapleflash became a champion for Mystra, and her underlying heritage came out. It was not a bar to her destiny, but another step to glory.

On Level 1:
Per the PHB, pages 58 and 59, you level in the following manner: choose class, adjust BAB, base saves, ability scores, hit points, skill points, feats, spells, class features. So all knowledge skills are class skills from the knowledge domain until we get to the very end of this list to trade it away for devotion. This lets us get at least 1 rank in all the knowledge skills to later apply knowledge devotion to for EB/EG.
Warlocks get crappy BAB, everyone knows this. Eldritch Glaive takes this weakness and turns it into a strength by making your melee attacks into touch attacks with reach. Even taking a single level of warlock in e6 would cut out the possibility of iterative attacks, so high BAB doesn’t matter in this competition. The Fey Heritage line eventually mimics the DR of the warlock, but increases it to DR 4/cold iron over the 1 you’d get from going straight warlock. Practiced Spellcaster bumps your EB/EG damage up to full, and Divine Magician and Extra Spell combine to get you some extra options on your spell list which further help out your EG.

Fey Presence gives you 3 more SLA’s usable once a day, of those Charm Monster is a 3rd level spell, and Deep Slumber, also a 3rd, targets up to 10hd of creatures, which should be anything you’re facing in e6. Charm Monster is a Bard 3rd, but a sorc/wiz 4th. Bards don’t get 3rds till 7th level, so this is already breaking out of e6 in spirit.
Knowledge devotion (see below) is going to be pretty consistently bumping up your to hit and damage against everything you fight, and since both EB and EG are touch attacks, you won’t have any issues hitting.
Healing Blast gives you 9 3d6 ranged or touch heals a day. Nothing says you can’t target yourself either, so fire away at whoever needs it.

Battle Caster gets you into medium armor, so mithral full plate to your hearts content.

The Richard Baker FAQ:
Q: would practiced spellcaster allow Blast damage progression?
A: I think it should, but I doubt the language of the feat and eldritch blast description specifically allows it. ( if eldritch blast were written in such a way that it dealt damage based on the warlock’s caster level, it would be fine. But the damage is based on the warlock’s class level. While those twto things are almost always going to be the same, you have to take a pretty liberal interpretation to let Practiced Spellcaster work on eldritch blast.
Turn attempts: 3+cha (5) + extra turning (9)

Knowledge Devotion: Lore (+3), Otherworldly (+6), Collector (+5) Divine Insight (5+CL insight bonus, so 11 at epic 2nd) --OR- Guidance of the Avatar (+20 competence bonus) or both if you really need it, and/OR Wieldskill for another (+10). This isn’t even counting skill ranks. So you could expend a pile of resources, but grant yourself +35 or more, to your knowledge devotion roll to get you +5 to hit, and +5 damage for the entire encounter, and Knowledge Devotion can be applied to your EB/EG.

Lucky Dice bumps this up another +1 to hit, and +1 to damage for +6/+6 total.
