May 16, 2009 16:53:41 I personally don't like the rage mage class, but the whole concept behind it sent my mind running off in all sorts of directions, and i liked what i found and tonight intend to play start off my concept at level 1. Now in the world i am going to be playing in sorcerers don't exist, and goblins favored class is barbarian...so my build dosnt work in most situations. BUT if you play a chaos gnome and replace the wizard levels with sorcerer+1 then you are good to go.

I am working under the assumption that the rage mage ability to cast spells also works in a frenzy, considering the reqs. to be a rage mage says rage OR frenzy class ability.

Here is the basic class layout with feats gotten at the given levels:

1. Barbarian1 (power attack)
2. Fighter1 (cleave)
3. Wizard1 (Combat Casting)
4. Fighter2 (Destructive Rage)
5. Wizard2
6. Wizard3 (intimidating rage) BAB has reached +4
7. Rage Mage1
8. Spellsword1
9. Rage Mage2 (Smiting Spell) BAB has reached +6
10. Frenzied Berserker1
11. Spellsword2 (Monkey grip)
12. Spellsword3 (extra rage)
13. Spellsword4

from here you basically just stack more frenzied berserker levels.

But at this point if you have a spell storing weapon (2h something with a maxed combust in it) you can you can spell rage, and cast a smiting spell enhanced combust, then use a Wraith strike spell and channel a combust with all your amazing power attack and attack his touch armor class and release 30d8 of combust on your enemy...plus wepon dmg and power attack and str and ect ect...

well thats what i got

May 16, 2009 16:56:49 you might want to go with the martial wizard varient(located in UA I believe).
This swaps out scribe scroll and the item creation feats for feats from the fighter bonus feat list.

Here it is.
