Tips
- Octavia has exceptionally low Constitution, resulting in low Hit Points, making her fragile and requiring frequent rests out of combat.
- Her Base Attack Bonus is low, making her a poor long-term archer.
- Ranged touch attacks with Sneak Attack damage are more effective than traditional archery.
- Arcane Trickster and Eldritch Knight enhance spellcasting like a Wizard while providing other benefits.
- Impromptu Sneak Attack negates Dexterity Bonuses to Armor Class for up to four rounds per day.
- Disintegrate is a potent, high-level ray spell for heavy damage.
- While not as potent as a Sylvan Sorcerer or as versatile as Linzi, Octavia is a serviceable party mage with extra damage potential.
