I always thought that it was a well built PrC. If it's not enough, I'd probably extand it to 10 levels and add 2 more missiles and make him able to maximize the damage a limited number of times a day. Peace. CthaS
quakemist 04-06-07, 02:36 PM	Well, I mean, I like it a lot, I just want to know if anyone else does anything to make them different.

You could make some sort of composite prestige class with that and the Force Missile Mage. Also, there are lots of "force missile" spells in the Spell Compendium and other books. You could have Force Missile Mage abilities apply to those spells as well.

Though that 1st level doesn't add to your arcane caster level. Abjurant Champion after that would be nice finished off with Archmage. Peace. CthaS
