07-02-06, 11:31 AM Ok, well I've been pulled into a 16th level gestalt game, most likely in the FR setting but planar is a possibility, and I'm fairly dead-set on the one half of my progression being Artificer 16.

The question is, what do I pair with the whole "Metamagic Spell Trigger, Dual Wand Weilder, Empower/Maximize/Twin/Split Metamagic" combo. (Also, am I missing anything from that list?). My initial thoughts are rogue or possibly ninja for the extra precision damage, but I'm not 100% yet.

Any suggestions?

07-02-06, 11:51 AM 4 or 8 levels of exemplar would be good. cannith wand adept too. Create scepter is an amazing feat, don't ignore it.

07-02-06, 01:28 PM I think I'm gonna have to refer you to DR. Jolly Josh :Crafty Creator (http://boards.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=7215279&postcount=19)

He shall perscribe your problems :D

If the hyperlink doesn't work then basically add effigy master X and wizard 10

07-02-06, 01:54 PM Beguiler has potential. That class also casts off Int and likes high charisma. It would boost your skills per day and give you a huge variety of utility spells to augment the Artificer's selection.

Rogue is certainly a solid choice, but you may consider spellthief... they also need charisma, and that would let you sneak attack to drain power from enemy casters, using that power to cast spellthief spells.

07-03-06, 03:53 PM Heh, thanks for all the replies, and all of the suggestions. Beguiler was a damn good choice, So I went with Beguiler 6/Incantrix 7/Cannith Wand Master 3 (lucked out, DM allows the wand master levels to add CL to beguiler). Now my only question is the matter of feats: this is my current list, missing anything important?

FLAW: Non-Combatant
FLAW: Unreactive
FREE: Iron Will
FREE: Least Dragonmark (Mark of Making)
HUME: Combat Expertise
01st: Improved Feint
03rd: Empower Spell
ART1: Extraordinary Artisan
BEG1: Silent Spell
06th: Maximize Spell
ART2: Legendary Artisan
ICN1: Twin Spell
09th: Extend Spell
ICN2: Repeat Spell
12th:
ART3: Wand Mastery
ICN3: Chain Spell
15th:
ART4:
