I was playing Magic the Gathering today, and when I saw the artwork for Banefire, I thought "Hey that could make a cool character"

So here I am asking the wisdom of the playground on how it could be the best way to build it.

I am thinking on making a Mailman; but I am not sure if the DM will let me play that.

oh and before I forget here is the image that inspired me.

I'm fond of a wizard with the Magical Training (Sorcerer) background feat to qualify for practical metamagic. Combine that with Arcane Thesis and Incantatrix along side a dip of Sanctified One of Kord and you've got a vicious Pyromancer who deals divine damage instead of fire damage.

Mind you, Cindy is several years old, so it's possible to optimize way higher than that because of power creep.

Dragonfire adept 19/Heir of Syberis 1

Welcome to a 55d6+ breath weapon that you can dish out every other round, provided you can keep your health up long enough to do it. Or deal 11d6+ every round at no cost. Or deal 11d6/2 every round while entangling your opponents. Suggested build requires two non-pre-req feats(Entangling Exhalation and Breath of Syberis). Syberis material is all from Eberron, but for the "play you're own dragon" feel, its worth it.

To be specific, she is six years old. The character, not the build.

har har har
I meant the build was a few years old. Personally I'd say there's more to weapon proficiencies than just 'knowing,' so the whole being 6 years old thing is just the optimizer poking fun at the rules. But that gets a little too close to killing catgirls by arguing logic in a game.
