Hi

This is my first post and I would like some help with a build I trying to sort out for an eberron game one of my friends is about to start running.

We will be starting at level 6.

I am toying with the following

FS Wizard (conjurer) 6 then into recaster
Banning: Enchantment, Necromancy and Illusion (possibly Evocation) - haven't done spells yet so this will help decide what to ban.
feats being
Abrupt Jaunt and Improved Initiative
1 - Cloudy Conjuration or Spell Focus (Conjuration)
3 - Empower
5w Metamagic Focus (Conjuration)
6 - Sculpt spell

OR

Wizard 3 / MS 3 then into recaster

same as above but would loose bonus wizard feat


I am not really going to be concentrating on monster summoning aspect, I will have a few basic ones that I can throw in now and then but I will hope to specialise in AoE crowd control, battlefield control and then once I get into recaster add a bit more damage/debuff with metamagic fun.

We get access to pretty much everything from the 3.5 rulebooks.

I can see the benefits of going into Recaster later for expanded knowledge but I would have to play through the levels and would delay the metamagic abilities that come with Recaster.

so

Which build is better and would you change either in any way?

Should I delay going into recaster a couple of more levels?

What spells should I be looking to take if I go into recaster at level 7 for expanded knowledge bonus at Recaster2 anf Recaster4? Also, what would I benefit in waiting a couple of levels, what improved spells could I get?

Thanks in advance. :smallsmile:

Delay Recaster until you can cast at least 8th level spells. Then grab Arcane Spellsurge from Dragon Magic. Later on, when you've gotten 9th, grab Greater Arcane Fusion (CM).

That could be an option but I don't really want to wait until level 15 to enter recaster, not sure if we will even get that high. I was hoping for lower level spell suggestions, entering at level 7 or level 9.

So basically, if I could choose any lvl3 or lower and a lvl4 or lower spell, what would you suggest?

and, if I could choose any lvl4 or lower and lvl5 or lower spell, what would you suggest?

Thanks
