I'm making an npc for my setting, a sort of 'legendary artificer' who is actually a Chameleon (PrC) who has cheesed his way into having level 9 spells. Access to every single spell in the game is a beautiful, beautiful thing.
His signature weapon is going to be a sort of wand pistol whose chamber holds a metric ton of wands. Combined with a Chained Awaken from Afar (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/wn/20011205a) (Spoilered Below) and Chameleon CL goodness, he's got one heck of a boomstick.
Awaken from Afar
Evocation
Level: Sor/Wiz 5, Clr 6, Drd 6
Components: V
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Target: One spell trigger activation item
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
An awaken from afar spell allows you to use a spell trigger item without actually touching the item. The item to be activated must be within the range of the awaken from afar spell, and it functions as though you yourself were triggering it from its current position. All other conditions, such as the requirement that you have the spell on your spell list or if the item's enchantment restricts its use to a particular race or individual, still apply. Both you and the item to be activated have to be on the same plane. The item cannot be in the possession of another creature at the time of activation, and it must be an item that you have previously triggered normally (in other words, without the aid of an awaken from afar spell.
I finished his actual build in the wee hours of the morning last night, but my question is this: just what spells to have in the boomstick? Because he's a Chameleon (and Im cheesing his CL moderately) he'll be shooting off a GREAT number of wands at once.
Can you guys suggest any particular spells to use that would be good combinations? Having different "clips" at the ready for massive direct damage, for debuffing, etc. would be great, but Im drawing a complete blank. I've never really built a character dependant on wands and the like before, so any suggestions you could propose would be much appreciated!
