Weapon of Legacy for a Warlock, help needed
« on: March 23, 2014, 10:42:42 PM »
Basically what it says. I have essentially no experience in creating Weapons of Legacy. I do know better than to make something Sunderable, and this character is Establishing a Legacy. Base item is a Ring of Protection +1. Campaign is beginning at 6th level, I am doing the whole Warlock/Hellfire Warlock/Legacy Champion thing. (DM already allowed both the Shape Soulmeld and Legacy Champion-HFW cheeses, so I'm playing the character while I have the chance). I am by no means the most optimized person in the group, my main deal is going to be blasting at spreading debuffs with the occasional BFC and massive Bluff/Intimidate outside of combat.

Thing is, the book was NOT written with Invokers in mind. None of the penalty progressions match up with a non-Slot spellcaster who isn't also Psionic, and the properties are all over the place. I need help constructing it. What I have so far, just from Sor'O's guide:


Current progression:
5- Accurate Strike
6-
7-Deflection+2
8-
9-
10-Deflection+3
11-Uncanny Dodge
12-Glitterdust at-will
13-
14-Break Enchantment 1/day
15-
16-Deflection +4
17-+6 Cha
18-+6 Dex
19-
20-Swift Heal Self

For penalty progression, it'd probably make more sense to go with one of the progressions meant for melees/tankier types than for spellcasters.

So, basically, the Table 4-1 penalty progression. Eh, it works. The attack penalty won't be that bad due to Touch ACs, HP loss might sting since Con is third in line for stats, and the Save penalty is always relevant.

Anyway, debating on the final mix of things. Currently looking at Wlk9/HFW1/LC10. This ends up with 24d6 blasts and 18th level Invoking, with the maximum amount of free stuff. Shame about needing 12 ranks in a skill to enter HFW, I was hoping to get it as ECL8.
