Equipment for a Tanky Spellsword.

Post by Cabarcos »

The character is an Abjurant Champion and will end with 20 strength 14 Con (or maybe 18 Strength 16 Con).
I've started using Full Plate Armor and will use Large or Tower Shields with a Longsword or a Morningstar/Flail (to fight undead or other creatures immune to critical attacks).
Any recommendations?

I would like to know what to look for or what I should ask a blacksmith or other artisans to craft.
This should be the second character I level to 30 and I would like for him to last.

What timing! I just finished compiling the equipment list for my abjurant champion build.

Click the "Equipment" tab at the bottom of the sheet. Your weapon will obviously be different if you're not a half-orc or orog, but otherwise this is one of the most ideal set-ups. The only difference you might take is switching the tower shield to a bronze one to get more discipline and what ever other stats you want. I personally chose the Two-Headed Lion King because I've maxed out my saves with universal saves and spellcraft. Two-Headed gives you a free Freedom of Movement use every rest.
