12-20-04, 03:23 PM I promised I would finish a guy's character for him. He chose Aasimar Sor5/DD(bronze)3. I can't make this build not suck. Help!

All stats are 14s or 15s except for a 20 CHA. (That's after all the stat bumps, racial adjustments and the DD bonuses for the first three levels.)

I need feats and spells that will make this character not underpowered for its level. The only advantage I have is that all the other characters are multiclass X/Y built for roleplaying and not for power. The disadvantage is that the person who will be playing this character is a commited powergamer and will be bored with a character who isn't pretty optimized. (I know this is a tall order.)

I need:

Two 2nd level spells, four 1st level spells, six cantrips. I was thinking fog cloud to go with the Bronze Dragon theme, but if you guys can come up with a better idea, go for it.

Three feats for levels 1, 3, and 6.
For being an Aasimar and DD, he has: 60' darkvision, daylight 1/day, resistance 5 to Cold, Acid, Electricity, +1 nat armor, claw and bite attacks, and a 2d8 lightning breath weapon.

Some magic items - I was thinking of permanencied Greater Magic Fang, but I'm not sure on the item pricing for having someone else blow XP. He has the standard 36000 gp for a 9th level character.

12-20-04, 04:41 PM Is he completely set on that build because that character's never going to do anything but suck......
seriously, it'll be a rubbish fighter (12 BaB at 20th level assuming overall sorcerer10/dragon disciple10) & have rubbish spellcasting (worse then a bard:nonono:)

If you can't get out of it, add on 5 levels of UR priest at the end of DD prog for half decent spellcasting....

12-20-04, 04:58 PM Unfortunately, yes. I said I'd make the best of it I could, but I'm no character-optimization ninja. That's the build, and it's for a one-off, so he's not going to progress much more than one level.

I realize I'm asking for a lot, but I don't expect a miracle; I just want a build that sucks less than what I can come up with on my own.

12-21-04, 03:04 AM Just change sorcerer for the Battle Sorcerer variant in Unearthed arcana. You might want to take 6 levels of battle sorcerer before Dragon Disciple (BS 6/ DD 2 instead of Sorc 5/ DD 3) to get a 3rd lvl spell.
- Feats: Improved Initiative, Power Attack, Battle Caster (from Complete arcane).
- Spells: True Strike, Alter Self, ... (there are various threads about good spells for sorcerers just check them).

Hope this helps.
