Hers the deal so far.
Luck of the draw and the DM, bless his fuzzy cold blooded heart, gave me a Human Wizard ( not a specialist, no, that would have been too kind) 5/ Mindbender 10.
"here's your base stats, class and level, now make me proud." Handed me the paper with that grin.....
Well I like a challenge so I made the best of it. I've palyed it long enough to take him up a level. ( Wiz6/Mindbender 10 )
Base Stats Str 8 Dex 8 Con 8 Int 18 Wis14 Cha 18
Bonus Stats 4, all went into Int, Int 22
Feats
1: Spell focus Enchantment DC+1
3: Greater spell focus Enchantment DC+1
5: Cooperative Spell
6: Practised spell caster +4 Wizard
9: Ability Focus - Eternal Charm DC +2
12: Heighten Spell Like Ability - Eternal charm (Now level 6, DC+2)
15: Heghten Spell
Items of note:
Headband of intellect +6 (36,000gp)
Greater Choker of Eloquence +10 (6,000gp)
Staff of Fire (17,750gp)
Mantle of Spell Resistance (90,000gp)
Vest of Resistance +5 (25,000gp)
Belt of Many Pockets (11,000gp)
Skills
Maxed out bluff, diplomacy, sense motive, took 5 in knowledge nobility, other points spent for flavor.
With Choker, synergies, skill boost from mindbender and Voice of The Dragon spell his Diplomacy is 53.
Caster level is 15 (practised spell caster)
Enchantment spells are caster level 19 (Mindbender enchantment spell power + 4)
Enchantment DC is 20 (10 +Int mod 8 +focus' 2) plus spell level
Eternal Charm DC is 26 (Base 14 + 2 ability focus + 2 heighten spell like ability + 8 stat mod)
Dispel magic doesn't effect the Eternal Charmed but I know to watch out for the break enchantment ( DC26, however that might be bumped up by taking the practised spell caster feat and adding it to the Mindbender class making it a 30, taking down the percentage from a 50% (sucks) to a 25%(tolerable) chance for success)
Eternal Charmed
Human W3/C3/MT9
Elf Sor 12
Lamia (Rog 4/ Shadowdancer 8)
I've used Bestow Curse on their wisdom saves to drop them down by 6.
Thrall is a half Ogre Warhulk (Brb 5/ WH 5),
I'd love help turning this guy into an OC. DM hates Psionics so using them are right out.
I'd rather play the hand I was delt than moan about what I don't have. So using what I've got what should I try to build?:D
Human
Wizard 5/ Mindbender 10/ Marshal 1
Minor Aura: Motiviate Charisma
Mindbender 10 already puts you behind in casting... might as well boost your Cha abilities
for your Thrall ..... i would look for a Troll of some kind .... Cave Troll, Wartroll, even regular Troll with Class levels... he will be more use if he can take care of himself(regenerating).... Bladerager Trolls(MM5) are especially lots of fun
:D
i would have added a level of Marshal instead of Wizard... ending with:

:D
So juice the Cha and that will buff the bread and butter of the mindbender trademark skills all at once for one dip?! Nice:D
As for the Troll, I think the DM is being somewhat selective in creatures he hits us with now as I've put the Whelm line of spells to good use so far.
Any ideas on a line of developement after the Marshal? Anything that would boost, augment, compliment or just down right make this the meanest build (given the fact I've lost 5 spell levels) ?
I've seen on this site how the members like a challenge and I think I've been handed one.
Wizard 5/ Mindbender 10/ Marshal 1/ Master of the Unseen hand 4
can use Full Attack with TK .... Caster level for TK = 19th with Practiced Caster
get a ring of Telekinesis and you can use it all the time without using any spells(@ CL9)
Ring of Telekinesis: This ring allows the caster to use the spell telekinesis on command.
Moderate transmutation; CL 9th; Forge Ring, telekinesis; Price 75,000 gp.
:D
try this:

So move away from the Enchant/Diplomacy thing and into an offensive style build?
So move away from the Enchant/Diplomacy thing and into an offensive style build?
no... Telekinesis is very useful.... and it is an Invisible effect... it would work well with your Enchant/Diplomacy thing to give you additional options.... this way you can appear Unintimidating and Friendly... use your Enchant/Diplomacy thing and fall back on TK if things start going bad... TK has so Many Uses.... you can pretend to cower in fear while concentrating on your TK;)
:D
Have you considered a one level dip into Shadow Adept? (PGtF) You gain three feats essentially for free, as the Shadow Weave magic feat is something that benefits you anyway.
DM said no to the Shadow Adept.
Darn shame as I liked how it built on what was already there. Now I'm seriouly considering Master of the Unseen Hand.
