How to Death Knight

[Watch Captain Solaire]

In the Age of Ancients the World was unformed, shrouded by fog. A land of gray crags, Archtrees and Everlasting Dragons. But then there was Fire and with fire came disparity. Heat and cold, life and death, and of course, light and dark. Then from the dark, They came, and found the Souls of Lords within the flame. Nito, the First of the Dead!

This being told lets start a Build, I just started this build Yesterday and havent reached lvl 5 playing on challenging it is supposed to be a Melee build.

Race Aasimar +2Strength +2Charisma

Startup Skills

16 strength
12 con
Rest charisma

+1 Persuasion
+1 Knowledge Arcana

You could dump some stats but reducing your wis or dex reduces your chance to survive as far as Ive played it is not recommended to drop them below 10

Level 1
Sorcerer - Undead Bloodline, im not sure which feat will be the best to start with.
Level 2
Crusader - God with Death Domain, Channel Negative Energy, Crusader feat Heavy Armor or Weapon feat for your Death Gods Weapon

As of now im trying to reach Crusader 5 to play with Heavy Armor since I started with a Weapon feat for my Scythe, for the next 3 levels im unsure if it is worth it to go Crusader 8 for the greater Domain Spell you lose 3 levels going into Sorcerer even though you keep the lifeleech and summon undead ability

So basicly thats how far my build goes for now the rest would be theorycrafting

I'll update this mess as soon as I get to play/Test more

Wouldn't it be better to pick Eldrich scion undead bloodline instead of sorcerer, Imagine you would have to invest a lot of feat points into avoiding the spell failure with sorcerer. If you plan to wear heavy armor where as Eldrich scion get that ability at level 13.

But ofcause it would limit your spell range.

Thanks Shazai, I will look into this, I didn't see that the Eldrich Scion gets to choose from a Bloodline!

If you have feats you don't know what to spend on, I would consider getting spell focus in conjuration so you can pick Augment summoning to boost animate dead(should work for animate dead too I think). That is if you plan to have raise undead like Death knights usually have if I remember correct.
