Season of Ghosts: Earth & Wood Kineticist level 2-7

-

Level 2

Class feat: Tremor. Range AOE that can knock prone enemies on critical success. Regardless of enemies' rolls, the burst area becomes difficult terrain. Prone enemies are off-guard and take -2 circumstance penalty to attack roll. So enemies are easier for us to attack while this makes them harder to attack us. They can stand to get rid of the prone condition but that will eat one of their 3 actions.

Skill feat: Assurance in Medicine. Helps to auto-succeed in Medicine check to Treat Wound when it's upgraded at the next level.

Level 3

Skill increase: Expert in Medicine. With proficiency bonus +7, I auto-succeed when Treat Wound because of Assurance in Medicine.

General feat: Fleet. Speed increases from 20ft to 25ft. Positioning is crucial if I want to melee.

Level 4

Class feat: Tumbling Lumber. Similar to Tremor but its AOE is retangular and requires Reflex save instead of Fortitude save. So the choice of which of these impulse to use is mainly dependent on which save the enemies are weaker at. Again, I hope to inflict prone condition on them so as to help the party offensively and defensively.

I don't intend to pick up Hail of Splinters because many enemies in this campain are immune to piercing damage. There are better impulses to select.

Skill feat: Continual Recovery. Helps with party healing. 

Level 5

Ability boost: Add to STR, CON, WIS and CHA. The last one is just in case GM asks me to roll Charisma-based skill check.

Skill increase: Expert in Athletics. The strong character in the party.

Ancestry feat: Nimble Elf. Speed increases from 25ft to 30ft.

Gate's Threshold: Expand the Portal -> Earth Gate Junction: Critical Blast. Enemies are knocked prone if I critically succeeded in using Elemental Blast on them. Yes, I'm picking more ways to inflict prone condition.

Expand the Portal Impulse feat: Calcifying Sand. Enemy is slowed on failure and petrified on critcial failure. This either lessen an action of the enemy or stop them totally and thus help the party.

Level 6

Class feat: Sand Snatcher. Grapple and can flank too. Incidentally, I will also to flank whenever possible to induce off-guard condition, which increases the chance to critically succeed in my actions and thus inflict prone.

Alternatively, if party regularly fails against confusion, disease, poison or sickness, Dash of Herbs might be the better choice.

Skill feat: Godless Healing. With this, I can tell my other healers that I can take care of myself :) Also, a prerequitise for Mortal Healing.

Level 7

Skill increase: Master in Medicine.

General feat: Toughness. Makes me tankier so that I can take on an enemy or two by myself while leaving the tree to protect my other melee teammates who battle other enemies.

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 2)

(continue from Part 1 ) Yates Anatomist/Wizard Counter: Cripple Secondary passives: Blessed One, Smart Casting Anatomist is the best healer in game due to the passive Legendary Healer, which also then boost the amount of self-healing by Blessed One. Although Ban thinks Anatomist's Dark spells are sufficient in dealing damage and so he suggests Alchemyst as Yate's secondary class, I choose Wizard for the following reasons: Quite often, demonic creatures have Dark immunity and other creatures have immunity to other elements. So having Dark, Water, Fire, Earth and Thunder spells enable Yates to cast the most suitable spell, especially when the enemies are vulnerable to certain elements. Flexible casting :) Smart Casting is useful so that I don't need to worry much about the positioning of the enemies relative to my other characters when using Mass Healing and the area effect damage spells. As stated in previous post , there "are so many devastating Skill ba...

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 1)

Here are the character builds for my current run (with the help of Ban): Kyrie Fellblade/Marked Counter: Slow Secondary passives: Execute, Life Font Fellblade itself is a good class because of the various conditions it can inflict and most importantly they can inflict Sleep. Iirc, the only other human class that can do this is Gadgeteer. Their passive Malice increases the chance of landing it by 10%. Fellblade pairs well with Marked because both use ATK and MND in their offensive abilities. Also, Fellblade's abilities are mostly short range whereas Marked has some long range abilities. Execute for more damage. Life Font is for suvivability. Ban opined that with two healers, there's no need for Life Font but I discover that it enables Kyrie to survive just enough for a healer to heal her up, after having received massive damage. Ban advocated for Marked/Fellblade for superior Speed (1.00 vs 0.92) and defense (heavy armor). I resisted this for a long time because I ...
