Coming back to choosing an Archetype to build off…
I’m rebuilding one of my ‘experimental’ PCs to 3.1
For a val, building a casting priest has proven better to take Arcane (a) / Initiate of the Gods (b) than to use Divine (not taking any Devout talents outside Paths).
Just have to finalise between Cants 9 / Meditation 8 or Cants 7 / Meditation 10. A couple of adapted spell choices have CTNs one point too high for the balanced build (at least until Tier 3.2)
Val’Ishi Anointed Priest / Keeper of the Forgotten Lore (Anshar/Beltine) / Ansharan Gatekeeper; ASC II, DSC II, 3 Adaptation talents, 3 Bloodlines powers.
Aside from the strain issue (like all double-casters), should be interesting.
