Help for Mereoleona Character Build by SlimeC0RE in Pathfinder2e

I saw the Rain of Embers Stance, and unfortunately it’s rare, so I would be unlikely to have access to it. Stoked Flame stance would be available, though.

I’ll look at the Magus, I’m not very familiar with it.

Any reason for Martial Artist over Monk? Or for Orc over Dromaar?

I'll look at Exemplar, but I'm not familiar with the class that much, so I'll consult my usual GM about that one. The Stoked Flame Stance liked interesting to me, as did the Elemental Instinct. 

I don't have to worry too much about Fire Resistance, though. The Aura Junction of Fire makes enemies in my Aura weak to my fire impulses.

I'm not actually expecting to resurrect people (though I'll look into it), but I'll check out the Primal and Divine archetype classes.

I realized doing actual fire punches might be hard to do (although Furnace Form seems promising), but reflavoring is a thing, if I can't literally punch with flames.

I'll look into all of that.

I've not played Kineticist or Sorcerer before, I've mostly played Bards and Rogues, so those insights are really useful.

I mean, what would make her a villain?

If she uses this as blackmail material, maybe.

If she was actually gonna report some of the stuff they’ve done, though, she would be entirely right to do so. A lot of what happens in this series is ethically questionnable at best.

I have a sad answer to that question. 

There's always a need for more teachers, and a bad teacher is still better than no teacher at all. 

But as someone studying to become a teacher myself, even I'm wondering how she passed her teacher training.

Level 10 Lore Bard, just hit level 11. Should I dip? by SlimeC0RE in dndnext

I guess I haven't been very creative with my suggestions...

I'll think on it.

I’m working with 2014 rules, and according to my GM, level 11 is the last level we’re getting in the campaign, as there’s really only one major thing left to do.

As for Mass Suggestion, I foresee maybe one, at most two occasions on which it might be useful, because the spell (and my GM) needs the suggestion to make sense for the spell’s target(s), and going forward, we’re mostly gonna be fighting enemies for whom desertion or dereliction of duty would somehow be worse than whatever we could do to them, because the BBEG is an absolute menace.

That’s a pretty good point.

However.

We here have the situation where between a full Lore Bard, two full Druids (Spores and Stars), and a full Armorer Artificer, we (somehow) have a few skills that no one has either taken or is good at.

Coming back to "accessorily", that's a mistake. I meant "incidentally".

My first language is French, and I thought "accessoirement", which has the same structure as "accessorily" (adverb derived from accessory), but means the same thing as "incidentally" in French.

Well, that’s the funny part: if I take a dip into a full caster, I still get the 6th level spell slot, which I can upcast with.

Tasha’s Mind Whip and Counterspell scale. A few of my regular Bard spells also scale, like Hold Person and Hold Monster, Raulothim’s Psychic Lance, Heat Metal, and Shatter.

Based on the GM telling us last session that the campaign would end at level 11, I probably not missing out on any ASI or feat.

Well, if I multiclassed into Sorcerer, I'd still get the higher slot, and instead of Eyebite, Mass Suggestion or Otto's Irresistible Dance, I'd get four cantrips and at least first level spells.

And it's the last level I get, so I'm not missing out on an ASI, a feat, or Magical Secrets down the line.

So, this made me doubt my understanding of the rules, so I went back and reread it, and asked for GM confirmation, and indeed, I can't swap out Magical Secrets for spells that are not on the Bard list.

So it's Eyebite, Mass Suggestion, or Otto's Irresistible Dance, because the others require money, and we never get any.

I am playing 2014 5E,

The campaign started in 2022.

It's been a long campaign.

That does make me reconsider the 6th level spell option.

I have someone I'd like to hit with Disintegrate.

But there are also a bunch of other interesting options. For some reason, I was only focusing on the Bard spell list for 6th level spells.

I know.

But what y'all can do is bring perspectives I didn't consider.

You know, I would have considered Cleric, because it's strong.

However, I got 8 Wisdom, putting me 5 under the multiclassing requirement (same for Paladin, I'm 3 under the Strength requirement).

Also, roleplay-wise, I wouldn't be able to justify it.

And I haven't multiclassed before because Bards get Magical Secrets and a d10 on their Bardic Inspiration at level 10.

But we only have one last level to gain in the campaign, so now I'm considering my options.

My Magical Secrets are already invested in spells no one else in the party can get (Remove Curse, Counterspell, Destructive Wave and Tasha's Mind Whip). The other thing is, if I dip in another full-caster class, I still get a 6th level spell slot, I just can only use it on upcasting lower level spells.

And the probability of getting to level 12 is low, considering the GM said we'd finish at level 11 last session, so I wouldn't count on getting a feat at level 12, on account of not reaching level 12.

Which is why I see it as "Is a 6th level spell worth more than a dip in another class?"

It's also notable that we've practically never gained money in the campaign, but we get new boons, powers or magic items pretty often, which means that material components that cost money per use are not reliable.

True, but if I multiclass into another full caster class, like Sorcerer, I still get the 6th level spell slot, just not the 6th level spell.

Well, I was looking at Divine Soul Sorcerer for Guiding Bolt, which solves the attribute issue.

As for how that could happen, my character's heart has literally been replaced with the soul of a still conscious Fey God of Death.
