Shining blade of Hiero...whatsisname

[magpie45]

Ok,got a whole new build concept that im trying,BTW,this is actually on a PW,not a module...so it isint easy!


Now these are the Reqs for the prestige class:Alignment: Lawful Good.
Base Attack Bonus: +7
Skills: Lore 7 ranks.
Spells: Able to cast 1st level divine spells.
Special: Clerics must have Good and War domains.

Now I have all that +!...and I still cant take  lvl in shining blade...is there some glitch...or a req missing?...cos for the life of me I cant see whats going on?


Btw if Lost boys watching,my plan was:

Race:Nymph[for the stats and aura!]

Cleric:7[could I swap this for a higher AB dev caster and still fulfill the Reqs.?]

Shining blade:23[cos +20 is always nice!]

Lich?:10[cos i mean..JEEZ!..its like that guy from the first Hellboy!]


Sounds pretty nasty too meet too me...I was hoping too go for TWF, Rend...just too make her really scary..with DMIGHT/DSHEILD for those awkward moments,Practised spellcaster too bump up the DC,s Try and squeeze DEV CRIT in,but...well a lot of boss,s are crit immune...so just plain old DAM. is good!

Any tweaking advice is good..and I did read through all the headers in Pres. and builds for any info.


So...what am I missing?...please help cos im dejected now!,this was my Uber concept,it can self buff,Hit things and has loads of immunity,s!


And frankly on the pw I play on ,it needs it!

Nope, those are the correct prereqs, I just checked the code. I think you have to have an actual use of a level 1 divine spell (i.e., actually choose a level 1 divine in your spellbook and sleep) for that prereq to be met.

You can definitely use a divine caster other than Cleric, and that will have the added bonus that you can then choose whatever domains you want. The domain restrictions apply only to clerics.

One of my favorite builds is Shaman / PnP Shifter  / Shining Blade, so I definitely know that Shining Blade works and that it doesn't require Cleric.

Have fun!

Need L10 CL for +7 BAB.

10 CL / 20 SBoH / L10 +  Prac Cast CL (10 + 20/2 +4 = L24) will give Epic Spell and Demilich access.

Build needs the NWN Alignment Manager.

Ah,excellant thanks lots too both!

As an also,my last char had problems lvl,ing as lich,everthing past lvl4 dint seem too take,even though i followed all the guidelines about soulgems ,upgrading your Rel. etc...I did a search here and saw some advice about resting after each lvl taken...is there anything else i need too know about this process?

EG:What order do i make the gems in? 6lvls and 8 gems when should i create the other 2?
Should i upgrade Rel. then make gem..or vice versa?

And i know i should take the lich lvls after 21,whens good?  and should i leave a final lvl of SBOH for lvl40 for disipline dump?

Sorry too deluge you with questions,but this char is important too me and im spending a lot of time lvl,ing it!...dont want too find out its gimped in the end!

L4 Lich only requires L6 spells. L5+ (aka Demilich) Lich requires L21+ caster.

With L10 CL / L10 SBoH Pre-Epic + Pr-Cast CL, you should have 10 + 5 + 4 Caster. If you take 4 more levels of SBoH, that will get L21 caster. Save your last SBoH for L40 to max out Discipline.

The phy upgrade order doesn't mean much. IIRC, you have twp upgrade sets, one before L5 and one after. Keep upgrading until you can't. Make 8 Soul Gems when you can. I usually make much more than 8 to take care of monks (Max SR 70 hard-coded) & uber-race types (SR ~ 67).

If you consider the Lich ability mods permanent, you can manually mod INT for skills, CON for Fast Heal,  Cha for Epic DM/ DS chains. Those are the main reasons for going Lich ASAP.
