Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

Will this build still work if I drop strength to 15 and boost charisma to 10?

Alternativly, I'd be down for a favored soul build for the Tempus deity.

will the build work? yes, but won't be optimum since STR being even is done because you can extend Bulls Strength for 50 minutes. I would think about what other changes you could make instead and try to keep STR even. Though If you're keen on it dropping two points you could look at other epic feats instead of the last Great Strength to still end on even.

Just be very aware that the CL for this build is 25. The dispel mobs have been reduced in many area's and should be reduced in pretty much all, but at a minimum you should be memorizing one extra buff on any gish build, two extra for the really important ones. You need CL 30 to be immune to Greater Dispel, but again, that is not to say it's 'required' just that you need to understand the limitations that come alongside playing a character with more melee power at the expense of Caster Level.

Favored Soul will work with the same build, and it's nice to gain the free weapon focus/specialization, but the benefit Cleric gives is the decent bump to Strength once / day but outside that, FS is the 'more powerful' and also allows you to flip the WIS and CHA stats if you want a high CHA character.

I see, I appreciate the help. Buddy of mine wanted to play a Tempus cleric or favored soul after he saw that build, but didn't like the negative charisma stat.
