About Techsmiths and Master Alchemists

Unread post by The Last Question »

1) Is there a viable (and by viable I mean playable 1-30) build with these two prestige classes combined? What would be the most suitable base spellcasting class for this build?

2) Alternatively, is it possible (viable!) to go Favored Soul/Techsmith? I was even considering Rogue dip for skills and Evasion, what do you guys think?

Both classes are not released yet. So who can say what they will finally offer :?

No? I thought they became available on the last update (regardless of the rollback). Huh...well, sorry for the useless topic, then! And thank you for the reply.

The last update was rolled back - but supposedly they should indeed be released soon.

Soon* ;)

On the note about that techsmith build, what about something like...
Favored Soul 14/Techsmith 10/Rogue 3/Cleric 3 (EDM)? Pretty sure you'd be able to get enough feats. It would be a bit of a rough build stat/feat wise, though.

As far as Techsmith+Master Alchemist, I'm sure a wizard base would work just fine. You can't really mess up a wizard with 30 CL (you can try, but that spelllist makes it pretty hard!), its going to be good for the most part. Maybe add in ASoC if you can fit it, or 3 rogue (taking maximize/empower metamagics in addition to extend) for skills.

Yep, soon. As in once we do all we can to ensure we don't have to roll back again.

Certainly any caster build can be viable with master alchemist and tech smith. I'd be more worried about greater dispel though if doing too many non-caster progression classes.

Well I didn't think of a Cleric dip, but it surely seems alright for the build.
I might revive this topic later on after the PrC's implementation, I'll definitely need some advice regarding feats and such.

Thank you, guys!
