UD RP Build: Lolth Priestess masher.

Just like the title says, looking to make a Lolthite hating caster masher. Someone who can really stick it to a Lolthite priestess whether through surprise meeting or planned ambush.

This being the Underdark, Stealth and Sneak Dice are desired, but spellcasting may be limited due to a cliche character quirk: Said character will be mute. Why? Because Silence is Golden. Silencing all spells and eventually going for Auto Silent Spell is on the table though.

Race is limited to two choices really. Tiefling or Half-Drow. They're both races that could easily have a reason for serious angst against Lolth, and I'm leaning towards Tiefling for the mechanical benefits.

I know this idea is pretty open right now, but I'm glad for any help, thanks!

The best underdark caster mashers tend to be the sisters and daughters next in the line of power... it's a most satisfactory RP line to take also ;)

Well, unfortunately I'm trying to work a Lolth hating angle here. As in, completely dedicated to eradicating her following in Sshamath and possibly elsewhere. While being an apparent servant to one of the Yath might be acceptable, actually being a Lolthite is definitely off the table here. Thanks for your suggestion though.

I've got a sort of a rough build in my head now, at least for a character to play. I might change it up later, but at least with this I can get into play for now.

Still looking for ideas on making a great Lolth Priestess Masher!

How about making a Vhaeraunite (male) drow for the RP angle?
You have the Tower of the masked mage which is Vhareunite, and this god is iirc the most fiercely opposed to Lolth in the drow pantheon.
Since Sshamath does not care much for religious zealots, it's perhaps best to RP this anti-Lolth project as a kind of covert operation.

Really high AB (all of the epic player clergy tend to try to solo the Pitfiend).
Some way to spot ethereal/invisible.
Epic Precision may not be optional for the better result.

Good luck, and looking forward to seeing you down below.
