Stormpriest of Talos - Clr(8),F(8),SL(8),WP(6)

Description
The Stormpriest of Talos is an unforgiving, uncompromising force of destruction. Guided by his lord's

explosive power, the Stormpriest is capable of melee and spell casting. This build focuses on two things -

gaining an epic spell (usually Vampiric Feat) and Epic Divine Might. It is hardly the most optimized build

for either of these, but it does get both. This build is very item dependant - it requires at least a +4

wisdom from items to qualify for epic spells (and to cast spell levels 6-9!) and will benefit from healthy

charisma boosts.

The base of this build, 8 Cleric / 8 Stormlord / 4 Warpriest, is inspired by randomsome1, from his

wonderful FAQ on GameFAQ. http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/file/939027/50368

Character Creation
Race: Aasimar

Classes: Cleric 9 / Stormlord 10 / Warpriest 9 / Blackguard 2

Alignment: Chaotic Evil


 * Saving throws are represented with no equipment and without the additional +6 from Spellcraft, since it

only applies to saves versus spells.


 * HP total is without buffs


 * AC is highly mallable. This build uses Monkey Grip with a spear and shield, so expect high ACs from

items. Divine Shield is perfectly possible to obtain in this build without sacrificing much.

Strengths:

 * Epic Divine Might and Vampiric Feast. Save DC is low, but Vamp Feast will still drain half life

from enemies that save, making it a good recovery spell.


 * AC can be very high, Divine Shield is an option that can play in a few places.


 * Saving throws are boosted by charisma and spellcraft.


 * Stormlord offers immunity to electricity and KNOCKDOWN, making this a very resiliant build.


 * Stormlord damage can add up quickly with Cleric buffs and its' own weapon enhancements.


 * Warpriest offers a few goodies like Battletide, Mass Heal, and Haste.


 * Can cast level 9 cleric spells.

Weaknesses:

 * Skill points are very tight, as are feats early on.


 * As of writing, has not been playtested.


 * Spell DCs will be very low going into epic levels.
