Since we are knee deep in combat, I figured I would throw out a little discussion topic.
I would also be grateful for any advice as it were...
As has been mentioned before, if we ever reach level 5'ish territory, Ursion will likely elect to take "The Test" (
https://www.d20pfsrd.com/class...ght-orders/#The_Test ) to become a Hellknight in earnest. Renee has very helpfully volunteered to arrange for the Summoning.
Now a Bearded Devil is no joke, and if he is going to have any chance of actually killing a CR5 Devil by himself, I figure I as a player am going to need all the help I can get.
Now as it stands, Ursion is not a spectacular Fighter from a mechanical standpoint. While I don't see any rules about Devils being immune to Intimidation, and they have a surprisingly low Will save, it's going to take a whole lot more than a Shaken condition to whittle down all those hitpoints.
This is kind of the part where I pay the price for building a character around his history, personality and theme rather than efficiency. He currently has the Bludgeoner and Enforcer Feats, being the medieval fantasy equivalent of
ye olde riot cop, but he gets three more Feats before he has to throw down Mano e Mano with one of Hell's elite soldiers.
So I supposed the question is two part.
In your opinion, what can he reasonably do within the legal limits of the test (equipment, buffs, etc) to prepare for this. He is likely going to have to budget for the more expensive stuff starting now, which is one of the reasons I ask so early.
And which remaining Feats would you recommend to give him the best chance?
