Sep 04, 2008 20:35:17 I will be undergoing the transformation into a Necropolitan next session and I have gotten the go ahead to delve into necromatic lore and ancient spell secrets to eventually apply the Swarmshifter template to my character. My DM will most likely drop the healing ability and that's fine with me. I'm going to see if he will let me apply it twice and pick flies and maggots. My question is if there are any good feats for this type of character.

Details, please. What's your character build currently?

Rogue 4 (I am 5 but I'll be losing a level tonight to become a Necropolitan)

Race: Half-Orc Necropolitan

Str: 14
Dex: 14
Con: -
Int: 16
Wis: 10
Cha: 12

Feats: Wild Cohort (Wolf)
Dodge

I'll be going into the Dread Commando PrC and after Mobility I'll be taking Two Weapon Fighting and, most likely, Imp. Two Weapon Fighting. After that I'm not sure what I'll be doing as far as feats. All WoTC books are allowed.

Dude, your DM is awesome. :D What LA is he giving the template?

Not sure, I won't be getting it for a few levels at least and it will take some roleplaying to get the requisite knowledge and ability to cast any spells that he may deem are needed. Time to start blowing ranks in UMD asap.

Sep 06, 2008 2:05:30 Any chance of changing the "Half-Orc" bit, and perhaps making it a Rogue/Swashbuckler with Daring Outlaw? Human seems good, as well as Strongheart Halfling.

Sep 06, 2008 4:55:21 You could be a real creepy crawly machine of doom and take levels in the Master of Flies prestige class from SS after getting the template .
It's... semi-strong, but quite flavourful. You can use Diplomacy on swarms, and awaken them, and stuff like that. Unfortunately no hellwasps, AFAIK .

I'd get rid of that Wild Cohort, though.

Sep 06, 2008 11:12:24 its hard to be sneaky when your enemy smells you coming.

and rogue/swash (daring outlaw) is an awesome build, I reccomend it.

also, do drop half orc if you have that option, they don't make the best rogues (int penalty, strength doesn't really do that much, etc)

Sep 06, 2008 20:01:47 I've been playing the character for several levels now so I can't really change the race and all feat chioces are final.
