The Higher Ground Infernal Warrior build
by DragonLance_007
UPDATED
Seems there is a shortage of Bane Knight builds here, so I will post mine.
This build uses the Fallen Angel secret subrace to get divine might/shield for free + an increase to CHA. Any subrace that gets a + to CHA, or doesn't take a minus to it, should be able to do well for this build.
"Fallen Angel" (secret UltraRare subrace) - no race requirement (adds wings)
WIS +5, CHA +2, +10 heal, free feat: Divine Might, free feat: Divine Shield, able to walk on quicksand
Starting Stats start/subrace adjustments
STR - 16
DEX - 8
CON - 16
INT - 8
WIS - 8/13
CHA - 16/18
This build starts out LAWFUL GOOD. Then any time after lvl 2 you can talk smack to the priest and turn evil.
-=Level Progession=-
Sorceror 1, Paladin 1,11 Sorceror, 12 Black Guard, 4 Sorceror, 11 Black Guard
All stat increases go to STR.
Skills - MAX Disc, Save the rest until lvl 40 put 15 into tumble.
-= Feat Selection Guide =-
1. Power Attack, Cleave
3. Toughness
6. Weapon Focus (whatever martial weapon you want. I did longsword. Scimitar if you wanna be cheesy )
9. Still Spell
12. Extend Spell
15.Improved Critical
18. Blind Fight
21. Epic Weapon Focus
24. Great Strength 1
27. Great Strength 2
30. Armor Skin, Great Strength 3
33. Epic Fiendish Servant, Great Strength 4
36. Epic Prowess, Great Strength 5
39. Great Strength 6, Epic Toughness 1
Spells affected by Blackguard level and STR modifier:
-----
1
-Grease
-Mage Armor
-Shield
-True Strike
-Protection vs. Alignment
2
-Balagorn's Iron Horn
-Bull's Strength
-Eagle's Splendor
-Endurance
-Flame Weapon
-Death Armor
3
-Greater Magic Weapon
-Keen
-Magic Circle vs. Alignment
-Vampiric Touch
4
-Bestow Curse
-Confusion
-Elemental Shield
-Minor Globe of Invulnerability
-Stoneskin
-Phantasmal Killer
5
-Bigby's Interposing Hand
-Dismissal
-Energy Buffer
-Acid Sheath
-Mind Fog
6
-Bigby's Forceful Hand
-Greater Stoneskin
-Tenser's Transfromation
7
-Banishment
-Bigby's Grasping Hand
-Power Word Stun
-Protection from Spells
-Spell Mantle
-Shadow Shield
I choose not to take Premonition b/c it only goes off the BG lvl for caster lvl and would IMO not be worth it. Take Greater Sanctary and also use lvl 8 slots for extended lvl 7 spells.
-=Stats at lvl 40 (no gear)=-
STR - 32
DEX no change
CON no change
INT no change
WIS no change
CHA no change
Fort - 32
Reflex - 23
Will - 29
HP - 460 with no gear
Attack Bonus with mundane longsword - +39/+34/+29
Base Attack - 24
After you get the Epic Fiendish Servant feat start looking for the Black Guard secret to make it better.
My advice after lvl 40 is get an Enchantment book. Then you will get gmw +13 and with LL SF Enchantment +14.
-= LL Feat Selection =-
Great Strength 7-10
LL Spell Focus Enchantment (assuming you got a book)
Lightning Reflexes
Epic Reflexes
Well, there you have it. The HG Infernal Warrior. Go ahead and give it a try, you wont be disappointed
As always, constructive critisism is welcome.
