#1 Escantia Aug 09, 2013 0:02:34	So seeing as I am playing a warmage in my campaign I think a lot about how to deversify her. I am trying the sandshaper build but even that doesnt seem like enough in the end. In my research into cool D&D stuff I came accross Craft Magic Tattoo. It allows a tattoo to be put on you that allows you to cast whatever spell was chosen at creation as if it was a spell like ability once per day. Do you think that using the cleric spell "Limited Wish" which can replicate any 6th level or lower sorcerer/wizard spell, or any 5th level or lower spell that isn't prohibited to you, is an effective way to deversify spellcasting? (Due to the xp cost it shouldn't be used willy nilly but for the huge spell availability you get it seems like a fair trade off to me)

#3 Escantia Aug 09, 2013 20:17:51	Yea Originally I wanted rainbow servant but I decided to go sandshaper instead due to how long it would take before I get the cleric spells. We started at level 3.
#4 Krusk Aug 10, 2013 11:37:43	Thats a pretty smart move if starting at level 3.  Whats your exact build if you don't mind sharing?  Something like warmage 5/sandshaper 1/Rainbow servent 10/Sandshaper 4 would probably be pretty solid and my basic recomendation. You are a warpriest for a desert tribe of raiders.  Also, you've seen the warmage handbook right? http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=2816

This is as far as I have gotten so far and I'm still on the fense about what to do in the future because I'm not sure how long this campaign is going to last once college is back in session. It would suck to take more dead levels and then have the campaign stop... Actually I just read the table and contrary to what I thought they do gain additional caster levels. I will definitely have to think about it more now.

#7 Escantia Aug 12, 2013 3:39:52	Seeing as I rolled a 12 for adding HP and it allowed martial weapon proficiency, I havent really regretted the choice too much, though I will admit it wasn't the best option available. Also increasing my speed to 40ft has been surprisingly helpful for positioning myself in battle. I'm about to pass out for the night but I will look into Rage Mage tomorrow after work and see how it works.
