12-04-04, 10:15 AM I was curious how DMs would handle this in their own game: Warlock 20/wizard 10/Wild Mage 10. Would the Warlock's invocations be affected by the wild mage's abilities? I'm assuming it's an all or nothing kinda deal, that they are either 100% seperate or 100% combined, that the Warlock wouldn't have the option to sometimes have invocations be affected and sometimes not.

12-04-04, 02:08 PM I'd say it just affects the wizard spells. Isn't wild mage one of those classes that you choose which casting class to continue you spell advancement with? If so, it would only affect that class.

I'm not very familiar with wild mage mechanics, but what if for that purpose he (could choose?) and chose warlock?

I was under the impression that wild mages by their very nature created limited wild magic zones, which would affect spell-like & supernatural abilities that produced effects similar to spells. I did not (and still haven't) seen where it states wild magic won't affect spell-like abilities.

12-05-04, 03:13 PM If you fully read the PrC it SPECIFICALLY states that a wild mage's ability of "Wild Magic" effect how he casts spells. Reckless dweomer specifys using spell slots/prepared spells.

The only power that effects spell like abilities is Wildstrike, and that only effects the SLAs of your target.
