Starting with a group of two other players. Me being the more experienced of the group, my DM is allowing me to run two characters, so long as they work in synergy together (storywise, why are they together). Campaign rules are below:

Books:
Core (including MM-MMV)
UA
PHB 2
Complete series
(absolutely no Splat books)

House rules: extra feat for all characters, Starting level 9, Non-good, 5d6 drop lowest 2, and starting character wealth of 20k. Our first session was character generation and we each requested specefic character goodies, anything major ill explain below.

The campaign is a Low-Magic with academies that control arcane mages, and the priories/churches controling the divine. We as the party are trying to bring down the empire and rise up. The government primarily is the peacekeeper with majorly good tones (hence the nongood).

So my idea was a Red Wizard and his bodyguard, and i have everything picked out but the equipment. First the Red Wizard Pethron. I talked my DM into counting other magic feats for my Red Wizard, and i was given Tattoo Focus at level 1 at a Red Wizard Academy.
Str 9 Dex 15 Con 13 Int 20 Wis 13 Cha 11
Illusionist 3/Master Specialist 4/Red Wiz 2
Focused Specialist - Prohibited schools Abjuration Conjuration Evocation Necromancy (Red Wizard Prohib)
Chains of Disbelief in leiu of Familiar
B Tattoo Focus - from my background at the Red Wizard Academy
1 Spell Focus (illusion) - gotta love the DC boost
H Heighten Spell - Find a favorite and stick with it
3 Dazzling Illusion - Add some effects to my illusions
4 MS Skill Focus (Spellcraft) - freebies FTW
6 Face Changer - infinite Disguise self is great
6 MS Greater Spell Focus - +DC
9 Craft Magic Arms and Armor - Shades will help with the requirements for spells for this

My Thayan warrior was a bit better rolled, and i built a nice Paladin of Tyrrany of him, to amplify my save DCs. Once I hit 11 I will go into Pious Templar and totally rock out my saves, and The True believer was allowed to cover my Iron will prereq for Thayan Knight
Str 15 Dex 11 Con 17 Int 12 Wis 13 Cha 18
F 16 R 10 W 12
Paladin of Tyranny 5/Thayan Knight 4
1 Weapon Focus (Longsword)
H True Believer
3 Power Attack
6 Improved Sunder
8 TK Combat Brute
9 Improved Bull Rush

The only thing i can think of that i want for my Knight is Shatterspike. Else i have no idea about any equipment. Any Suggestions? My roles are to mess people up in and out of combat, so skill boosts for persuasion skills, or things that help break enemies in combat.

This is a good place to get item ideas.


There's more stuff to reduce enemy save DCs, if you want.

Pious Templar really just... isn't that good.  And Paladin of Tyranny kinda pales in comparison to the LE Crusader.
