Anyway, playing a 3.5 Game with some buddies and am planning on rolling a new character. After reading Treatmonk's, LogicNinja's, and Dictum Mortuum's handy Wizard Guides, I wanted to try my hand at building a true arcane powerhouse. My plan (character-wise) is to have a Wizard who is a member of a Mage's Guild, who is bent on unraveling the very mysteries of magic in it's rawest form. He wants to master magic at it's very core. This extreme talent eventually leads him on the path of rising to Archmage and head of the Guild. This is what I've managed to come up with by myself so far: Name: Pentalus Vivec Alignment: Lawful Neutral  Race: Human Deity: Boccob Class: Wizard 5 / Incantator(trix) 10 / Archmage 5 Alternative Class Feature: Domain Wizard, Storm Domain (to grab all those nifty Non-Wizard Spells.) Alternative Class Feature: Eidetic Spellcaster (No more depending on your Spellbook in crazy adventures.) Prohibited School(s) of Magic: Necromancy (Fluff-Wise, this character wouldn't dabble in the Dark Arts.) Starting Feats: Collegiate Wizard (Bonus Spells), Iron Will (Incantatrix Requirement) Regular Feat Progression: Level 3: Arcane Mastery (Take 10's on Casting Rolls) [Wizard Bonus Feat 5]: Spontaneous Divination Level 6: Skill Focus, Spellcraft (Archmage Requirement) Level 9: Versatile Spellcaster (Burn two low-level spells to cast a higher one) Level 12: Spell Focus, Conjuration (Archmage Requirement) Level 15: Spell Focus, Evocation / ?? (Archmage Requirement) Level 18: Alacritous Cogitation (Leave open a spell slot to spontaneously cast 1/Day) Metamagic Feats, Incantatrix:

I figure with Spontaneous Divination, Alacritious Cogitation, and Versatile Spellcaster I pretty much have a huge boost to my versatility and on-the-fly casting capability... but maybe the feats are a little redundant? Then again, I can easily do away with Spell Penetration for such a bonus (as I'm still getting +1 from Archmage, and could get another with a Third Eye Penetrate for my Face Slot).
