Davus Antonius 11-17-05, 02:46 AM	I have a Stormcaster build I'm going to be using in an upcoming campaign and I'm having some trouble in chosing spells. I've got the obvious ones from the PHB, but would like some help in chosing others that fit the flavor of a Stormcaster. Any help would be appreciated. So far my spell list looks something like this: Level - 0 Level - 1 Endure Elements Level - 2 Fog Cloud, Gust of Wind Level - 3 Sleet Storm, Lightning Bolt, Wind Wall Level - 4 Solid Fog, Ice Storm Level - 5 Cone of Cold Level - 6 Chain Lightning, Freezing Sphere Level - 7 Level - 8 Level - 9

For Sor/Wiz: Obscuring mist (1), whispering wind (2), maybe water breathing (3), maybe gaseous form (3), probably fly (3), maybe control water (6), control weather (7). Things like cloudkill (5) and acid fog (6) may also be appropriate, depending on what sort of stormcasting you are thinking of.
Howardysseus of Clevelari 11-17-05, 09:54 AM	I'm actually currently in a campaign in which I have a sorcerer, who's backstory involves some elemental bloodlines. I call him "The Storm Whisperer." Dramatic, huh? I'm only up to casting 3rd level spells at this point, but I tell you what I have that you don't. First of all, I got the DM to use a house rule to allow me elemental substitution on any spell I wanted, so long as I couldn't elect not to use it. For instance, I could use a scorching ray, except that it'd be a lightning ray. Thusfar, I've only applied that choice to one spell. Other than that, where's the Shocking Grasp? Where's the Wall of Wind? Control Weather, for when you get really high up. Heck, you could even justify truestrike, so long as you make the justification non-divination. (A whirling vortex surrounds the arrow as it flies, guiding it.) The point is, it's a lot easier to make a themed spell-list if you cheat/are creative. Oh, and if you make a good argument about flavor, I'm sure you can convince the DM to let you outside of the Sor/Wiz spell list. I mean, come on. You're a storm-mage. You need call lightning and storm of vengeance.

II) Get the feat Divine Disciple (Compelte Divine, reasonable pre-reqs), allowing you to learn all the spells on the Storm Domain. They are: 1) Entropic Shield 2) Gust of Wind 3) Call Lighting 4) Sleet Storm 5) Ice Storm 6) Call Lighting Storm 7) Control Weather 8) Whirlwind 9) Strom of Vengeance. This seems like a MUST have feat for you.
bob_the_great 11-17-05, 11:09 AM	if you can use complete arcane i know you at least have the orb spells in there. also from CA: if you're a wizard you can't go wrong with energy substitution (electricity), which will give you a lot more options when it comes to level, shape, and damage of attack spells. energy substitution doesn't work nearly as well for sorcerors (full-round metemagic), though as a sorceror you could take one level of elemental savant (easy prereqs) and every elemental spell automatically becomes lightning. then you can't cast your cold spells, though
