"Green Dragon Blood Warlock" is the profession of the winged kobold.
Since this is a dual-protagonist module, Gao Fei and Jiang Feng can choose the same bonus career and expertise.
The green dragon blood warlock appears in both of their sub-professional lists.
The next bonus feats are "Alertness", "Strongness" and "Skilled Spellcaster".
…
Skilled Spellcaster: The character's spellcasting level, plus proficiency modifiers.
…
There was no need to hesitate, both Gao Fei and Jiang Feng chose "Skilled Spellcaster".
It should be noted that "casting level" is not equal to "professional level", the former may be higher than the latter.
For example, Jiang Feng's current proficiency modifier is 2.
Acquire "Skilled Spellcaster" and have a comprehensive spellcasting level of 5.
However, her "Temple" career level is still level 3.
Just because your spellcasting level reaches level 5, you will not gain level 5 professional abilities in advance.
So, what's the use of simply increasing your spellcasting level?
It’s so useful!
Generally speaking, there are three main uses.
First of all, magic value = spellcasting level × spellcasting attribute.
Obviously, the higher the spellcasting level, the greater the magic value.
Secondly, the effectiveness of many spells is directly related to the spell casting level.
For example, Jiang Feng's "Water Making Technique".
Each time the spell is cast, 10 liters/level of clean water can be created.
The "level" here refers to the level of spell casting.
Obviously, the higher the casting level, the more water will be created.
The third major use of spellcasting level is metamagic.
When using metamagic feats, you need to pay at least 2 additional magic points.
You can superimpose multiple layers of metamagic effects on a spell, but the total amount of magic consumed must not exceed the upper limit of the caster level.
It is conceivable that the higher the spellcasting level, the greater the space available for metamagic.
Jiang Feng opened the astrolabe and looked at the description of the specialty "Skilled Spellcaster". He suddenly thought of something and asked Gao Fei:
"Does the upper limit of your spell-stealing ability depend on your professional level or your spell-casting level?"
Gao Fei didn't answer immediately.
The whole person was stunned!
He was in a daze, with countless thoughts swirling crazily in his mind, and finally converged into ecstasy!
"Gao Fei, are you okay?"
Jiang Feng stood up from the sofa and looked at her boyfriend worriedly, intending to touch his forehead to see if he had a fever.
As soon as she stretched out her hand, Gao Fei grabbed her, pulled her into his arms without any explanation, and kissed her hard twice!
"Comrade Xiaojiang! You are so cute!"
"Ah? This...is okay, just ordinary and cute."
Jiang Feng was puzzled and a little embarrassed.
"What you said just now woke me up from my dream!"
Gao Fei said excitedly.
"The ability to steal spells depends on the spellcasting level, which means that I can break the professional level constraints and steal magic with levels above 6 levels!"
"I knew you were thinking of evil ways again!"
Jiang Feng smiled and scratched his face twice.
Gao Fei didn't mean to be shy at all, he frankly admitted that he just wanted to do evil things and take advantage of opportunities!
Normally, spellcasting level is equal to professional level.
Goofy's "Spell Thief" can be upgraded up to level 20.
20÷3, rounded down, equals 6.
So usually, magic thieves can only steal magic of 6 levels at most.
However, now that he has the super powerful specialty of "Skilled Spellcaster", every time Goofy's level reaches a certain level, he can gain some additional spellcasting levels as his proficiency modifier increases, which is equivalent to increasing his ability to steal spells in disguise.
Level cap.
As with any profession, the following rules apply:
Before level 5, proficiency modifier is 2.
Level 5~8, proficiency modifier 3.
Level 9~12, proficiency modifier 4.
Level 13~16, proficiency modifier 5.
Level 17~20, proficiency modifier 6.
A simple calculation shows that when the "Magic Thief" reaches level 18, including the proficiency correction, the spellcasting level is 24, and he can steal up to 8 rings of magic!
If we open up the pattern and look at the real world, we can draw even more exaggerated conclusions!
In reality, Goofy's proficiency correction depends entirely on the main profession "Tiangong Special Police" and has nothing to do with the sub-profession.
His SWAT level has been raised to 15, with a proficiency modifier of 5.
This means that when he switches his sub-class to "Magic Thief", the level 1 "Magic Thief" will have 6 spell casting levels and can directly steal 0~2 ring magic!
Professional spellcasters such as mages and warlocks must reach at least level 5 before they can learn the first level 2 magic.
Goofy's "Spell Thief" combined with "Skilled Spellcaster" is equivalent to mastering 2nd level magic 4 levels in advance, which is so comfortable!
Gao Fei couldn't help but have questions.
Tiangong Design Department, have you considered this method of exploiting loopholes?
Judging from the relatively rare specialty of "Skilled Spellcaster" provided in the second chapter of the module, Director Yin and her group of designers are probably well aware of this.
On the surface, he stabbed the "law thief", but secretly he made compensation.
"Spell Thief" could only be regarded as an A-level profession, but with the expertise of "Skilled Spellcaster", it was immediately transformed and was even slightly better than the S-level "Dragon Warrior"!
Director Yin did not explain how to use this almost buggy mechanism, and it was up to Gao Fei to figure it out himself.
If you don't understand it, you can only blame yourself for being stupid and wasting a customized career with huge potential.
With excitement, Gao Fei walked up to the kobold warlock and found that this guy was not dead yet, so he quickly stole the spell from her!
A level 3 spell thief, proficiency modifier 2, spellcasting level 5, Goofy can steal and retain a total of 3 spells of level 0~1.
In addition to "Whip of Thorns", you can also steal two more.
After thinking about it for a while, Gao Fei made two "Sleight of Hand" checks in succession.
A comatose creature has a passive awareness of 0. Stealing spells from it will be 100% successful.
This incident inspired Gao Fei.
If you encounter a hostile spellcaster in the future, don't rush to kill him first. After knocking him unconscious, steal the spell you want first and then kill him.
The two spells Goofy stole from the Erd Warlock were level 0 "Magic Explosion" and level 1 "Detect Undead".
At first glance, "Grease" and "Hidden Mist" seem to be better choices than "Detect Undead".
The reason why Gao Fei chose "Detecting Undead" was mainly because he thought of the landlady who wanted to introduce a business.
At that time, Gao Fei received a system prompt that the side mission corresponding to this business was called "Haunted Grocery Store".
Haunted, you know.
Keep "Detect Undead", it may be useful in subsequent missions.
"Hidden Mist Technique" is pretty good, but it's a pity that Goofy's level is not enough. Currently, he can only steal "Hidden Mist Technique", but not the 2nd level "Misty Sight".
"Hidden Mist" must be used in conjunction with "Misty Sight" to achieve the best effect.
Otherwise, when the fog is released, the enemy can't see you, and you can't see the enemy either. The two sides will hide and seek in the thick fog... This is a bit funny.
