Help making an Eldritch Theurge
So; I just picked up Complete Mage and it's awesome so far.
I was thinking how to make an optimum Eldritch Theurge. Since Charisma is part of Warlock, I think a Warlock/Sorcerer would be good.
Besides that, what spells should a sorcerer know and what invocations should a warlock know to maximize the Theurge abilities? I'm also having trouble finding a low if no level adjustment race that gives a bonus to Charisma. Being small would also help, to increase the attack for Eldritch Blasts.
And please; no bashing the warlock in this topic. Take it somewhere else.Libras D'lnar avatar by CSK

Re: Help making an Eldritch Theurge
Touch of Vecna is pretty awesome. Any touch range spell is great with the Greatreach blast, although it takes a while to get. When I made one, I took the Sherem-lar Sorcery and Sherezem-lar Sorcery feats from Ghostwalk to pump Charisma, made it very good with save-or-die spells. It requires that you be a green-eyed female human, but they're very good feats.

Re: Help making an Eldritch Theurge
Found Touch of Vecna. Damn, that is badass. Making everyone around them believe they are dead is just as good as killing them outright. I like it. I also took a look at the other Touch of spells in Complete Mage.
Could Touch of the Graveborn be Weaved into a blast? If so, that's some nice damage.
Touch of Years is a great hit and run spell. Prepare a few of them, fire them all off, and run like hell is on your heels.Libras D'lnar avatar by CSK

Re: Help making an Eldritch Theurge
One thing I would consider, also from the complete mage, would be the fey heritage feats or fiend heritage feats, to give you some pretty useful dr and chutzpah. Warlocks rock because they are cool. With a warlock its not about the Class, its more about the class.

Re: Help making an Eldritch Theurge
Although I don't want to sacrifice Class so I have class, but then I get out-Classed. See what I mean?
I was looking around Crystal Keep and Half-Fey doesn't look too bad. Bonus to Dex+Cha, a fly speed, and advancing spell-like abilities. The level adjustment could be easily bought off. Plus I wouldn't have to waste feats on Fey Heritage and can instead use them on other things like Spell Penetration.
Sound good, or should I stick with the feat route?Libras D'lnar avatar by CSK

Re: Help making an Eldritch Theurge
Not that I know much about the Warlock, but...+1 level adjustment, small size, and Charisma mod...plus natural armor, blind fight, scent, and some energy resistance...there's always the Dromite. Depends on if you're afraid of psionic races or not, though. Just a thought.

And a huge thanks to Diabhan for the AWESOME avatar. Lizardfolk rogue FTW!

Re: Help making an Eldritch Theurge
I forgot about the bug people! I love psionic races, just I'm not sure if the next DM I'll be under will like them. Otherwise, dromite seems like a good low LA race. Although the flavor seems a bit of. A psionically gifted bug that pacts with high arcane beings?
Thanks.Libras D'lnar avatar by CSK

Re: Help making an Eldritch Theurge
I think any way of adding the fey is good for flavour with the warlock and the eldritch theurge. With the campaign I am in, if I lose my wizard the two options I am tempted by as a backup character are a street fighter *** swashbuckler, or the eldritch theurge. I will definitely come back to this thread for pointers if my wizard goes to the big arcane laboratory in the sky. Its a cool mix with a lot of role play possibilities.
