Hey folks,
well, looks like we're going to get a Temptress in the group for our new campaign, which ought to be very cool. She'll be the party's Face, and also double as Thief. And she'll probably be a Zingaran. Unless there are strong points for a different race?
I'm suggesting her to take at least 10 levels of Temptress (for the FC bonuses), and at least 4 levels of Thief (for the goodies).
Stats: we use a Point Buy system, so I'll be suggesting her to take Int 14, in order to buy Decipher Script and Disable Device ranks with her Int-bonus points on Non-thief levels. Other than that, she'll obviously have high Cha, and also high Dex.
What Secret Art should she take? As a Zingaran, even 4 Levels of Thief will already get her 4 dice of Sneak Attack (due to Light-footed). One option would be to further improve this with Secret Art, but otoh I'm not sure this is really necessary.
I think the general idea of a part-time sorceress would also be pretty cool, but as we recently discussed in another thread, it's not easy to find a suitable Sorcery Style. In essence, it boils down to Divination or Telekinesis. Also, recharging PP with sex sounds pretty cool.
What option would you say is better?
What feats should she take / plan on taking?
My current suggestions are Dodge/Mobility and Combat Expertise to avoid getting hit, and possibly also Fleet Footed. She's supposed to stay out of combat most of the time (looking harmless and helpless and more like booty than an opponent*), but sometimes intervene with Sneak Attack when the time is right.
Any other suggestions?
*) This probably also means she can't make use of her Arming Sword bonus, at least early in the game.
