Planar Possessed

One of the Medium’s archetypes, the Outer Channeler exchanges the legend of the various spirits they can channel to various Outsiders, be they Angels, Demons, Aeons or even Psychopomps, you are tied to that one Outsider subtype and act as a vessel to channel their great power. This archetype sounded extremely fun so I decided to showcase a build for it. We are also taking levels in the Loremaster Prestige Class, albeit a bit later too. Our leveling should look like the following:

Class

Medium (Outer Channeler) 13/Loremaster 7

Outsider Subtype: Aeon

Race

Samsaran with the Mystic Past Life Alternate Racial Feature.

Ability Scores

Raise Int to 13 if lower, then everything else in Cha

15Point-Buy

Str 7/Dex 14/Con 12/Int 12/Wis 11/Cha 16

20Point-Buy

Str 7/Dex 14/Con 14/Int 12/Wis 11/Cha 16

25Point-Buy

Str 7/Dex 14/Con 14/Int 13/Wis 12/Cha 17

Traits

Reactionary because duh, Hedge Magician because we will be making a lot of magic items…

Favored Class Bonus

Skills, actually for this one. Surprised aren’t you?

Skills

Knowledge(Arcana/Planes), Spellcraft, Use Magic Devices, various Crafts

Feats by Level

1-Point-Blank Shot

3-Precise Shot

5-Skill Focus(Knowledge-the Planes)

7-Craft Wands

9-Craft Wondrous Items

11-Craft Magic Weapons and Armors

13-Craft Constructs

15-Improved Initiative

17-Weapon Finesse

19-Deadly Aim

So we start as a mostly ranged support character, but we rapidly switch our focus from our ranged weapon to our various wands. We also supply the party with quite a few neat magic items when needed, and we eventually even get to have a golem following us around! Since our strength sucks, we eventually pick weapon finesse just to not suck if stuck in melee.

Loremaster Secrets by Level

14-Toughness

16-+2 Fortitude

18-+1 on Attack Rolls

20-Combat Expertise

So we get more hp, a late coming fairly okay bonus to AC, and a generic bonus to our Fortitude Save and to all attacks. Neat!

Final Thoughts on the Build

This one is a very sneaky build. You are a great support character with some great buffs and debuffs, some decent combat capabilities, and your Aeon Spirits give you a surprisingly good amount of resilience once you hit your Intermediate Powers. At level 13 you also get a permanent Telepathy for a 100 feet which is bonkers. All in all, a great build for a support character that wants to stay low-key but be somewhat good at pretty much everything.
