The confused condition it can possibly inflict gives her a good means of copying the position-switching aspect of her Disorienting Blast.įREE ARCHETYPE SUGGESTIONS: The first archetype that comes to mind is actually that requires a few changes to be made to the build – largely swapping out an initial skill increase for training in Nature and picking up Natural Medicine. With the wealth of knowledge she has achieved from her scouring of the ruins of the estate, Paracelsus has undoubtedly picked up some Disturbing Knowledge that she can share to weaken foes. Her Prescient Consumable is a feat more fitting to her alchemy-themed while building out of her Prescient Planner feat. As I believe I’ve mentioned in past builds for DD characters, Heroic Presence doesn’t make a lot of sense at first, but is intended to represent the heroes achieving a Virtue. Perfect Debilitation empowers the debilitation tree that Paracelsus has explored throughout this build, making it so that only critical successes can avoid the conditions that she inflicts. Poisons hold her best chance at actually stealing actions from a target though even the most they can inflict is slowed (though a dose of gorgon’s breath could petrify a target). However, she really captures the feel of her Plague Grenade and Blinding Gas with Plum Deluge to create a cloud of poison. Given the multi-target effects of Paracelsus, effects such as Chemical Contagion that allow her to spread the poison fit well. Her initial focus on skills will be for Crafting and Medicine so that she is able to treat her allies and keep up with her ability to make alchemical items. She’ll want to keep up on the bombs mentioned at level one, but she may also consider picking up the junk bomb – this is the easiest way for her to inflict bleed on adversaries even if it doesn’t quite match how she doles out bleed in game. She can even make use of the quicksilver mutagen herself to improve her accuracy with her bombs. The lesser quicksilver mutagen and lesser war blood mutagen are the most pertinent as they serve to match her Emboldening Vapors, allowing allies to move faster and increasing their accuracy. More importantly during this block, Paracelsus can pick up several formulas. She does also explore her healing capabilities with Battle Medicine, almost exactly matching her Battlefield Medicine ability. Feats during this block mainly fill in some flavor for the character though Healing Bomb provides her with some ranged healing opportunities.
