This build is designed as a specialist caster build for the hells; which specializes in Bigby spells.
Like a Pale Master, the build casts spells whilst wearing Heavy Armor and a Shield.
AC is lower than that of a PM and the build has no crit immunity, but damage resist/immunity buffs should help make up for that; and being immune to PF knockdown is a nice bonus too...
Untested beyond the test chamber; all input welcome.
Thanks
