04-07-06, 03:46 PM Hey everybody, I've just gotten the tome of magic and I love the flavour around the binder class and since my rogue was recently forced to leave (I set fire to a house that was a really bad idea.)

And my next character is going to be a Binder but I'm not entirely sure what would be a good build.
The setting is in a port town during the golden age. There's access to firearms though they are still exotic weapons and I'd think it would be a nice idea to have someone with a good amount of guns.

Can someone give me some tips on building something like this? High Dex and high Cha is of course a must. What kind of feats would be preferable?

It has to be lvl 5 and the basis is a 28 point-buy for ability scores.

04-08-06, 07:16 AM I've decided on my build though its not going to be a ranged build after all.

Race: Human
Abilities before magic items:
STR 16
DEX 12
CON 14
INT 10
WIS 10
CHA 14

1 Binder - Improved Binding, Expel Vestige
2 Binder -
3 Binder - ignore special requirement
4 Binder - Martial weapon proficiency (greatsword)
5 Binder -

Then I'd often bind myself to Savnok for the summoned fullplate.
