#1 Calaca94 Jan 15, 2014 4:20:22	Hi, i am here to seek help for my god wizard's build. I play in 3.5, in the Forgotten Realms setting; i can use every manual (except for Kingdoms of Kalamar), and we start at 3rd level. The plan is to begin with the "Expedition to Undermountain" campaign (modified to support our power level and our iniziative) with a 5-members party: there's a druid who plans to be mainly a summoner, a bard who's designing a bardic music-centred build, a binder that is focused on the BSF role, an Ilmater's cleric who wants to be a buffer/healer/supporter and me. We want to reach and go beyond epic levels (it's gonna be an high-powered campaign). I am a human wizard from the Sword Coast, i picked the domain wizard variant (conjuration) instead of the focused specialist to remain a generalist (others members of the party tend to need a magic babysitter in every field) and took 2 flaws. My master let me pick the 1st level "elf wizard" substitution level for bg reasons. I chose the Collegiate Wizard feat but i am uncertain about the other 4 (it depends on the chosen build, if required i could also change everything i've already picked). I think that trying to be a buffer/debuffer/cc together would only lead to be a "waste of space" (i hope you correct me if it isn't so), so i want to be mainly a debuffer/cc (with buffing almost uniquely restricted to spell choice) but i was also thinking of something like Wizard 5/Incantatrix 4/IoT7V 7/Incantatrix 6/Archmage 3/then we'll see. I am sure that my project sucks and i surely need advices in: which build would be optimal, which feats i have to apply easy metamagic to, which spells i have to apply arcane thesis to, which other feats i have to choose (now and during advancement). My abilities are: STR:  10 DEX:  18 CON:  18 INT:   18 WIS:  10 CHA:  12 I am not good at builds (nor at english), so if you need clarifications or more informations just ask. Thanks in advance for your help and attention.

(Reply to #2) Calaca94	Thank you, i'll surely take a level in Mindbender then! Also, Do you know other classes (instead of incantatrix) that could get along well with IoT7V without losing a school? (just to consider them)
#4 Luna_Trigger Jan 15, 2014 8:57:31	Any that doesn't lose caster levels. Iot7FV doesn't interfere with any class except to give them ludicrous defenses and complete immunity to AMF. And, by the way, Incantatrixes really don't lose any schools.   If you the spare feats, Wild Mage is pretty cool. Practiced Spellcaster + Wild Mage is fun, although it's just as good a dip as a full class, and it's really bad without Practiced. But, really, so long as you don't lose caster levels, it is very difficult to go wrong in the build.
(Reply to #4) Calaca94	So if i go Wizard 5/Mindbender 1/ Wizard 1/ Fatespinner 2/ IoT7V 7/ Fatespinner 2/ Archmage 3 it'll basically be a decent choice anyway?

So i could go Wizard 5/ Mindbender 1/ Paragnostic Apostle 1/ Fatespinner 2/ IoT7V 7/ Fatespinner 2/ ecc ecc... too and do something like:   Domain Wizard (Conjuration); Elf Wizard 1 Substitution Level   Feats: Wizard Lv.1 feat: Collegiate Wizard Human feat: Spell Penetration Flaw 1 feat: Spellcasting Prodigy Flaw 2 feat: Spell Focus (Abjuration) Wizard Lv.3 feat: Skill Focus (Spellcraft) Wizard Lv.5 bonus feat: Spontaneous Divination  Mindbender Lv.1 (Total Lv.6) feat: Mindsight Fatespinner Lv.2 (Total Lv. 9) feat: Greater Spell Focus (Abjuration) IoT7V Lv.3 (Total Lv. 12) feat: metamagic feat (advices?) IoT7V Lv.6 (Total Lv. 15) feat: same as Lv.12 Fatespinner Lv.4 (Total Lv. 18) feat: Spell Focus (another one for the Archmage prerequisites, have you got advices?)       and then i'll continue taking mainly metamagic feats, what do you think about it?

(Reply to #8) Calaca94	(The Skill Focus is at Lv.3) So which feats would you suggest instead of Spellcasting Prodigy? And at Lv..15? (Then for the spell focus i'll decide at higher levels when my spell selection will be more definied)
