Mandrake the magician s sidekick7/6/2023 ![]() I'll have to work in some divination spells because I definitely feel that will help grasp the concept of this elaborately dressed do-gooder/investigator that I'm trying to capture.Īs for his methods of taking out the bad guys. These are some great options, team! I really appreciate the suggestions. So have fun with your showman and remember to ham it up as much as possible! In combat, he uses Blinding Ray, Color Spray, or hides behind the warrior, but he can contribute, and being a human with high Int means he has plenty of skill points to actually work as the party face or knowledge hound.Ī bard can work just as well in this role since everything I listed is capable by a first or second level bard. Tricks are what Calistrians do for money." He also paraphrases the Arrested Development line, "Illusions, fighter. If you've seen Kung Pow: Enter the Fist, he's done the Evil Betty line of "I'm a great magician, your clothes are BLACK!" and used the Silent Prestidigiation. In First Steps Pt 1, he performed a magic show for Auntie Baltwin's orphanage to distract the kids (and Auntie) while the sneakier party members rummaged through the house and found the black market goods. In Frozen Fingers of Midnight, have Bengeirr stripped to his skivvies in his goat pulled cart and paraded him through town, using Prestidigiation to change the underwear to pink with blue teddy bears on it. Other than that though, the concept could go who knows where. Possibly also some feats to increase the DC's of either Enchantment or Illusion based spells. I figure I will probably take on the Dilletante feat to make up a little bit of ground from losing Bardic Knowledge if I go the route I'm thinking. My starting point is to run with a Human Bard with the Magician archetype and possibly even the Soundstriker archetype since the two are stackable, but these things are by no means mandatory. The well dressed magician that looks like he just walked off of a Vegas stage, and uses his various tricks/magic/what-have-you to solve mysteries and beat the bad guys. I am looking for something that will be fun with lots of personality.īasically I have something along the lines of Mandrake, the Magician (Yup, that cheesey old Defenders of the Earth cartoon) for this character concept. ![]() Not sure if I'll end up playing this one or not, but I think I'd like to so I'm going to go ahead and ask for some advice on this build.ĭisclaimer: I'm not particularly looking for an uber optimized character. ![]()
