Dracolich Disciple Ver. 2.0 Brd 10/RDD 10/PM 20

[DragonChyld]

SUBRACE: Half-Dragon - White

GENERAL INFO: Ok I started with the Dracolich Disciple, then I found out that All creatures immune to crits are Immune to sneak attack, so I changed the build, Gained alot of AC, Gained Lich Lyrics, Beefed the BA a bit. Dropped the wasted feats to pick up Overwhealming crit, Too any feats for a +2d6 on crits. Burned the Spell focus feats in favor of being less party helpful (Most good runs have a REAL mage anyways) and picked up Martial for the slashing scim for keen spell. Stilled all spells, the High PM levels give you effective caster 6th level spells so you can Still ALL of your spells, even the 5th level ones.Dropped the intial str in order to have a better balance of stats. ALL I lost was the Spell Resist, and SR 40 is tough in High level areas anyways. Also lost True Seeing, but 85 % of items give you TS anyways.


Hard to play at low levels, (Changing armor at rest ect...) but worth it in the end. (Avoid blue dragons lol)

2 points, First I listed the build as being 95% immune to acid which is wrong.. The build is 65% Immune to acid and will have acid resist of 30/-


Also important to note, you will have to put just a couple of cross class skills in Perform between the levels of 21 and 38 in order to get the required 25 for Lingering song.

Bard 8/ RDD 10/ PM 1/ Brd 1

You'll loose one attack bonus if you do that, bard doesn't get an increase at lvl 9, and PM gets an increase at lvl 2. Go 5 bard/10 RDD, and for the last 5 mix up 3 Bard/2 PM however you want.

Also important to note, you will have to put just a couple of cross class skills in Perform between the levels of 21 and 38 in order to get the required 25 for Lingering song.

You also need to switch the first 20 lvls for this reason. You can't even put points in perform unless you're taking a lvl in Bard. For all other classes it's a restricted skill. Only take 8 Bard pre-epic, 1 at 40, and you still have another bard lvl that you can take around 25, whenever you want to take lasting.

Thanks again to Majin who gave me some insight.

I'd think you'd've wanted to go 10 PM and 20 RDD - so RDD is your class for LLs, and your AB can be boosted by super RDD strength gains.

[DragonChyld]

If you do that you will lose 3 AC and only pick up 6 points of STR from the RDD which equals +3 AB... I am happy with a +76 as an AB and I don't think the +3 to AB is worth losing Lichlirics which, at a 20th level Lich will drop your Opponents AC by 2 which means the effective diffrence is a +1 AB any way you calculate it, not to mention the loss to saves, and damage you get to the enimies from Lich Lyrics. And the addition to you spells I.E. being able to still spell all spells.

And as a side Note, Shish helped me th most with this build over the phone. he was not mentioned eariler....

OK worked this build to Immo last night, VERY happy.

At level 40 AB is 61 Unbuffed 62 with BS, and 64 with WarCry
Get 5 Stilled War Crys
10 BS
AB goes to 66 with a GMW +14 and 68 with a good Bardsong

AC at 40 is 124, 125 with Stilled Mage Armor, Have 6 SMA
will go up to 126 when I bump my dex back to 12

HP at 40 is 697

This is not with the best gear in the Mod, I am using the following Gear at this level.

Bilefang
Platemail Of the Immo
Slag
Legendary Warloard Helm
Bracers of WeaponCraft +5 <--- Replacing
Ammy of the Immo
Noble Boots of the Fire Born
Ring of the Immo
No Belt
and Ring of Auras

I tested the first area of Ssithy (the area prior to the Arcane Academy) and was surrounded by 6 Ssithy guys, (Including 2 of the harder ones, and one of the guys who drops the seals) and 4 Archers. Had Plenty of time for heals. (I think I was only getting hit on 20's but with as many guys as I had on me and as many attacks per round as they were getting it was still hitting me to where I did have to heal)

Downsides at 40
~ Not putting out whole lot of Damage per hit. Avg 45 to 65 on Resist mobs, 100 to 120 on crits.
~ Could not take Lasting insperation, the NWN manual is misprinted, you need 20 levels of Bard for this feat.
~ 4 ATT a round hasted
~ Wish I would have droped Inital str by two to pick up the needed Dex for Ambi and TWF and ITWF for areas where AC is still high enough to dual.

Upsides at 40
~ Saving money on heal pots, VERY hard to hit
~ Immune to Crits and Sneaks
~ No water ring
~ Immune to all those pesky Stun hold paralize things. (a very few kinds still get though)
~ Immune to Fire
~ 65% Immune to Acid
~ DR of 30 for Cold (Should have went Electricity)

In closing, I am very happy with this build as it is, Partied with a high level Mage or Cleric and a Bard Damage goes up considerably, and ATT is nice as well

I will update at 50 and 60
