I'm seeing if I can get through tactician with this build, and it seems like it's going well so far (no spoilers): necromancer wizard with weapon master feat to use great weapons. Haven't added armor yet since I'm relying on blur for dodge, shield reaction, and blindness for large threats. Almost done with act 1 so I'm not sure how the power fantasy will look like later in the game or what items are available.

This has revolved around an item that sets intelligence to a specific value. So I was able to drop all int, put it into strength, and essentially be a lich-esque wizard. Been interesting to say the least and teleporting to baddies with misty step has been a lot of fun. I may go into the tadpole tree and spec into the skill that punishes when enemies miss their rolls (which they are disadvantaged from via blur and also the ilithid skill itself). The sustain is good with vampiric touch; and if I fall under half health for whatever reason, I have a greataxe that does additional damage.

This game is amazing so far.

Gith get medium armor and greatsword proficiency for free, and ancestral knowledge is an amazing racial bonus. The bonus 1/day spells are also fantastic.
