That won't help the Blackguard / Stormlord personally, but it will help other spellcasters who target enemies surrounding the character. The Aura of Despair ability will also reduce by -2 the saving throws of any enemies within a 10' radius of the character. The Blackguard levels allow the addition of Divine Might and Divine Shield, as well the Dark Blessing ability that parallels the Divine Grace ability. ![]() *Evil* It is entirely possible to construct an evil mirror version of this build that uses Blackguard levels instead of Paladin levels. In other words, Hoar is the only deity that makes it possible to combine Favored Soul, Stormlord and Paladin abilities into the same character.Ī few levels of Divine Champion are thrown in towards the end in order to get some desired bonus feats. Hoar is the only deity that is both available for selection by a lawful good character, and has spear as her favored weapon. The divine damage from Divine Might will stack with the electrical and sonic damage provided by the Stormlord, at least during certain prolonged fights where she may want to use both abilities.įurthermore, it is important to select Hoar as this character's patron deity. She can defend herself with Divine Shield if she gets swarmed. Adding Divine Shield and Divine Might will augment this character's combat prowess even further. The Stormlord is even more of a fit on that note. Taking it further, Favored Souls, given their lack of offensive spell options, should be really developed as warrior priests who once in a while may need to pause to perform healing or buffing functions. ![]() As Weapon Focus (Spear), or shuriken or darts if that's your preference, is a prerequisite to unlocking the Stormlord prestige class, Favored Soul and Stormlord are a rather neat fit for each other. Keep in mind that one of the benefits of playing a Favored Soul is getting the Weapon Focus feat for free at third level. ![]() The key perk of a Stormlord is the ability, without limit, to add extra electrical and sonic damage to a spear (or darts or shurikens if you're so inclined). They can heal or buff as much or as little as needed.įive Paladin levels is enough give the character the Divine Grace power, which will increase saving throws, and to allow the character to use the Divine Might and Divine Shield powers. They're definitely more along the lines of healers and buffers. Favored Souls, apart from a select few spells, aren't really suited for offensive spellcasting. I've designed the leader to be a kind of hybrid divine caster / righteous crusader. Janette, F LG Aasimar Favored Soul 12, Stormlord 10, Paladin 5, Divine Champion 2
