| #1vampireshadoJan 28, 2012 19:23:12 | Hey everybody. I have recently created five different wizard builds (actually one is a sorcerer) and would like comments or thoughts on how to further optimize them. None of them are fully complete, and I in no way am taking full credit for any of these characters. I know just about every part of each one of them is made up of optimization that was created by other people. I don't think I am a character optimization genius, but I am well versed in what has already been created. For the purpose of these characters please assume I have a very liberal DM. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Magi 1- The Demon Binder Human Conjurer 1/ Master Specialist 1/ Malconvoker 1/ Fiendbinder 1/ Incantatrix 3/ Malconvoker 4/ Master Specialist 9/ With Major Bloodline (Fiendish) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Magi 2- The Counter Speller Dragonborn Spellscale Abjurer 1/ Master Specialist 3/ Incantrix 3/ MS 4/ Initiate of the Seven Fold Veil 7/ Archmage 2/ With Major Bloodline (Magic) Dragonborn Grey Elf Erudite 3/ Beguiler 3/ Cerebremancer 3/ Mindmage 10/ Cerebremancer 1 Gnome Illusionist 1/ Master Specialist 4/ Shadowcraft Mage 5/ Incantatrix 10/ Major Bloodline (Shadow Magic) |

At least I don't remember something that let you manifest 2nd level powers at lv 1. 3-For the dispeler I'd recommend you to get the feats: Pyscarnum infusion, Soultouched spellcasting and Improved essentia capacity from MoI. You get another +6 (in theory, i don't know how your DM consider the essentia capacity with bloodlines.) to dispel checks. |
| #3The_FredJan 29, 2012 13:56:08 | Even entering with a L1 Wizard requires a... "very liberal DM"? Actually, I would say that by RAW, the Heighten Spell cheese is legit, including the Earth Spell entry; most of the other tactics are dubious at best. However, I'm not even sure if such tactics do exist for allowing early manifestation of higher level powers so you'll likely need Psion 3/Wiz 1 at best. If you can get away with a spellcaster 1 entry, I like to use more specialised classes for Cerebremancer, such as Beguiler, Dread Necro, Sorcerer or Warmage - the reason being is that their narrow field can be offset with powers from the other class. Of course, the same does apply to specialist wizards (though the advice to dump Evocation for example is even more appropriate since you can always "nova" with your psionic side if need be). Erudite with the Convert Spell to Power option (in one of the Mind's Eye articles) is great for this, though an Arcane Erudite is basically just great anyway, and even without CStP it's a strong choice. |
| #4vampireshadoJan 29, 2012 16:27:32 | ELVizard- Magic-blooded and white dragon spwan are two different templates. I cant remember off the top of my head where magic-blooded is from, but white dragon spawn is from dragonlance. Meant that to be Major Bloodline (Magic), which would be a custom bloodline. Yeah I've been looking and I can't find a way to enter cerebremancer early on the psion side. Thanks for the Incarnum stuff. I have the book, I just totaly spaced it. Looks good and I think I can get the bloodlines ruled to count for maximum capacity. The_Fred- Yeah I think I can pull off early entry on the Wizard side. And actually I like the idea of a Beguiler/Erudite a lot. I think I'll look into that. Thank you both very much for your input. |
