Can warmages become mages of the AO? [Archive] - Wizards Community

I have two very specific rules questions.

1)
If a character only has class levels in warmage, could he become a mage of the arcane order? The character would take arcane prep to meet the "prepare spells..." prerequisite. He would also take the other required feats and skill ranks.

I am assuming an environment with no house rules.

2)
Would such a character get the full benefit of the calling effect? For example, could a wm 6/ mao 2 call the spell "Protection from Fire" even though it is not on the wm list.

1) Yes

2) I think so. Not sure, though. I see no reason that would stop this. However, I don't know if it would really be THAT useful. If you want to expand your spell list, Todd's Warmage Guide thing has a number of great suggestions.

1) Yes though it requires the arcane preparation feat, but on the bright side it opens up quicken spell

2) Yes you get the full benefit

There is also the PHBII class feature variant Eclectic Learning - now you can learn any Wiz/Sor spell that isn't on the Warmage list, if you learn the spell one level higher.

As you guessed, I met to write "Protection from Energy" in my example.

I had thought that wm could take MotAO. I just wanted to confirm it.

My question is if you had a group of MotAO and one of them took extra spell to get cleric or wu gen spells could any of the mages then call that spell?

If you put a Wu Jen spell into the spellpool then someone could cast it.

In one game I played in my Warmage / Sand Shaper / MotAO character gave his MotAO guild access to his first level buff spells like Bull's Strength so that they could brew super cheap potions & undercut a rival's prices. ;)

On page 49 under "spell availability" it states that you just get PH spells from the S/W list (unless the DM broadens it).
