06-02-05, 05:50 AM Just wondering on what would be a best blaster type mage- this or a sorceror. Anyways here is my build.

Human 32 point buy

Cha 15
Int 14
Dex 14
Con 14
Str 12
Wis 10

Warmage 1-8?
Feats.
Level
1. Improved Initiative, Iron Will
3. Spell Focus Invocation
6. Empower Spell
7. Sudden Empower
8. Medium armor

Then Incantrix 9-18 However several what ifs spring to mind.
1. I can get into Incantrix with 6 levels of warmage.
2. I can qualify for incanttrix with 7 levels or warmage and ignore empower spell for now.
3. Energy substitution is a great feat but may not be needed until later but is probably woth fitting in.
4. Its a no brainer to fit in sudden maximise somewhere as well since you won't get it via a Warmage bonus feat.

Either way eventually you'll end up with a massive blaster type spellcaster:)

I guess incantatrix would be nice for picking up the various metamagic feats like empower/twin etc. Only problem would be you moderate int, really sucks when you are trying the maximising your spellcraft checks for the various metamagic effects.

Easy fix magic items.

Now why is your Int Low for a warmage shouldn't that be their second highest stat...

It is my secon highest stat. Warmages don't have a clear cut dump stat except for wisdom and I would have to spend alot of points to get 16 Int for a massive +1 damage on my spells. However remember this build doesn't have any magic items like a +4 head band of intelect yet.
