I'm in a level 3 through epic, high optimization, campaign (level 5 now) and I'm building a Killer Gnome (with DM's approval, I sent him the handbook and everything so he could read it at his leisure, explained what it does and the upper limits of miracle spamming powers, which he approved). Right now I'm simply playing "God" with buffs/debuffs and battlefield control, and I intend to take levels 11-20 as Incantatrix.
My question to you wonderful gentlemen, is as a Killer Gnome/Incantatrix, what metamagics would it be best to invest my bonus metamagic feats on?
Extend -> Persistent Spell is a pretty obvious choice, and from there I'm thinking Quicken and Twin Spell, and maybe considering Fell Drain.
Build is Whisper Gnome - Illusionist 2/Master Specialist 2/Illusionist 1/Shadowcraft Mage 5/Incantatrix 10 (early qualification via earth spell was approved for Shadowcraft Mage entry)
(With Gnome Illusionist sub levels at 1 and 5 from Races of Stone)
My feats are:
Flaw 1 - Spell Focus (Illusion)
Flaw 2 - Heighten Spell
1 - Earth Sense
3 - Earth Spell
(4 - Skill Focus (Spellcraft) from Master Specialist)
And I intend to get:
6 - Signature Spell: Silent Image
9 - Iron Will (prereq for Incantatrix)
(11 - Extend from Incantatrix)
12 - Arcane Thesis: Silent Image
(14 - Persistent Spell from Incantatrix)
15 - Arcane Disciple (Luck)
(17 - Quicken Spell from Incantatrix)
18 - Undecided, considering Enhanced Shadow Reality (but without Shadowcrafter it seems like a waste)
(20 - Undecided Metamagic from Incantatrix)
If it's any consideration, I have the focused specialist character option so my banned schools are Enchantment, Evocation and Necromancy, and at 11th level when I enter Incantatrix, I have to ban either Conjuration or Transmutation (I'm going to ban Conjuration... which sucks, but Transmutation takes the lead around that level in power of spells, plus I can cover some of the Conjuration base with my Silent Image)
Also, I already have an eternal Collar of Umbral Metamorphosis, (trick approved by the DM) so Maximize spell is not a good option.
So, any thoughts suggestions or build tips would be helpful. Thank you in advance.
