Because of the +3AC or the Vamp feast?

3 AC + Vamp feast for the cost of 1 DC? Hell yeah, it's totally worth it in my view.

Tougher decision than it looks, depends on what you want the sorcerer to do I guess. What level spell slot do you gain with the additional charisma ?

With that HP, I'm guessing blood magus and dragon disciple. Maybe some ICE. I doubt it's an armoured caster with that kind of DCs, but it might be.

I swapped things around based on what was said here and went for one less DC for more AC. The thing is that i dont like epic spells at all so I skipped that. The current builds are as follows. I will play around till the RCR in case any changes are needed

Efialtes - https://nwn2db.com/build/?326248
Rolav - https://nwn2db.com/build/?272885

Both builds have high AC, HP saves and high DC (both 39). Efialtes gets that high AC becasause of an item. OItherwise the AC would be around 51, with +1DC and empowered

One thing is for certain though, mechanically there is no reason to make a wizard, other than a pvp based hips wizard. With Shadow adept one can get a hips wizard with very good DCs as well - https://nwn2db.com/build/?326250

Only the Efialtes will get armor. Rolav will get ICE. I was deciding which build will get the -20asf mith heavy plate.
