Jun 26, 2009 15:00:18 I was just reading about the Blood magus and the osteomancer. Both have soso spellcasting capabilities, but their abilities look good. I prefer the osteomancer.

I ask those who would like to have a shot at it, to help me make a good blood magus, blood magus + osteomancer build, or osteomancer build. Emphasis on the first and last builds. My DM said that he somehow made an osteomancer so powerful that it could control practically anything, but I'm not sure how he supposedly did it. Any thoughts, or helps would be greatly appreciated.

BTW, if your looking for where its located, osteomancer is a PrC in Dragon magazine volume 1 book.

Jun 26, 2009 18:24:31 I made an ostemancer once. a tip if you go osteomancer, Improved Natural Attack on the bone spurs, yes it works. Add in a few levels of blood magus for blood component and the homunculus and you've got an effective battle mage that looks awesome. Go battle sorcerer for extra offense and Intimidate.

Here's a possible build:

1-Battle Sorcerer-Toughness, Great Fortitude (4 ranks in concentration and knowledge (arcana))
2-Battle Sorcerer-
3-Battle Sorcerer- Great Fortitude (if not human, open otherwise)
4-Battle Sorcerer-
5-Battle Sorcerer- (Should have 4 ranks in heal and knowledge (nature))
6-Osteomancer- Open
7-Osteomancer-
8-Osteomancer-
9-Osteomancer- Improved Natural Attack (Bone Spurs)
10-Blood Magus-
11-Blood Magus-
12-Blood Magus- Open
13-Blood Magus-
14-Blood Magus- Here you get the homunculus. If you can, create the iron defender from the eberron campaign setting at the highest hit die you can
15-20-Whatever you may want

Jun 27, 2009 4:54:33 For an Osteomancer, I like this build:
Human
Hexblade 4/ Paladin 2/ Suel Arcanamach 4/ Osteomancer 10
Take the Dark Companion ACF from PHB2
Cha to saves (2* vs arcane spells) + Mettle
9th level Arcanamach casting (5th level spells)
all of the Osteomancer features

Jun 27, 2009 19:36:37 I was jut looking over osteomancer and and I noticed how it can be a somewhat effective assassin, esque character or even a sneaky character somewhat. I like both ideas for the osteomancer.

One build could have rogue or swashbuckler or both with osteomancer and master of masks, and spymaster. This is a build idea I really like. Can I get help with this one please?

Another build, less disguise/stealth and more spell casting could be like this:

Osteomnacer 5/ master of masks 5/ suel 4/ hexblade 4/ paladin 2 ( if not paladin 2, which is only for cha to saves) what else in its place?
