I've heard you mention Jaethal can make an adequate spell caster - do you have a recommended build for her? I want to use her, but already have a sufficient tank, dps, and heal bot(Tristian).

Pretty much either a glutton wizard with staff of whispering souls or an empyreal sorc with amulet of dying wisdom. Pretty standard conjueror/necro in both cases. It's not amazing, but it does work with her undead path.

I have a question regarding your Jubi build thats in the unfair doc.

It takes Infusion at lvl 14 instead of lvl lvl 6 like the one linked here.
Since I used the build from this thread in my previous save and made good use of shield on my Leopards I wonder if I will be fine without it till lvl 14. Especially since I'm now playing on hard on top.

Or maybe should I swap cognatogen and infusion from the unfair build?

depends on how much you like your pets. I generally hate buffing those past early-game, so I don't care much for the shield. If you have other reasons to have a shield spell... like running MC monk or a druid - sure, you take it at 6.

You can bite the bullet and just use heart of valor on her. Costs some AC, but you wouldn't have to play dress-up.

I think I will do that for now. Do I still eat the 15 Arcane Spell Failure Chance or was there something to lower this? Sorry if this is a bit of a noob question.

heart of valor is a mythral breastplate. Meaning you treat it as light, except for proficiencies. TL;DR bards can cast in it with no ASF

OH I thought the Mithral trait already shows it as what type of armor it really is. Thank you very much.

If I want neither of the cleric follower but instead a merc, can I still pick the Erastil Cleric from your guide or would the Gozreh variant from this thread be better for that(and swap later?). Speaking strictly from early game on.

Thank you again for all the help. This will be my last question as it is probably getting annoying at this point.

Erastil all the way. Guarded hearth is just way too good. Gozreh is ok if you have no space for the full arcane caster for reasons unknown. But even then I'd swap to erastil theurge at 20

Important spells: Shield, Lead blades

Non min-maxed for a change. Mostly cause I don’t really have to and the build in armored version is not fit for unfair anyways. GVS to fill your standard actions while doing booter stuff. Cleaving finish procs GVS damage again if you kill the target. Also, both GVS and Cleave, as well as all opportunity attacks count That’s about it. A fighter with a lot of buttons to press all the time. Feral Mutagen is awesome early. Can be done on a merc with a bit of min/maxing.

For best results use legendary proportions on him, cast lead blades and GVS stuff.

Hey.

I read your staff monkster build and wanted to ask since it is 2 years old if you would change anything? And also I wanted to ask how you take crane wing at lvl 8, scaled fist doesnt have that one as extra feat or am I missing something.

Thanks for the help.

Yeah. I'd change something. I'd play fisting monk from unfair guide. More damage. Don't have the time to recheck the staff one atm, sorry.

@InEffect :

Trying an Eldtrich Scion STR build. Are 20 levels worth it or can I throw some multiclass for good measure? Some vivi for sneak attacks?
