Hi, starting a new forum game(sigh) wich encourages powergaming, the group has ranger, fighter and cleric already so some arcane power is needed. So i'm an evil wizard(muahaha), though of getting the dragonborn but the dm refused saying that bahamut is a good guy and all that. I can take any feat on any book as is, he just warned me to get straight feats and all, so no loopholes.

Stats are 34 point buyoff, allowing 19 or 20(at 4 points each after 18 ouch)
My idea for now is a leeser air genasi. Domain wizard(conjuration) and was doubting if i could be a specialist too. Want to take the inmediate magic and focused specialist route but i'm open to more cheese. I'm allowed 2 flaws , evil feats would be great for flavor, bot as I said, whatever is more powerfull.
Level 2 Wizard, 900 to buy equipement.

Dark Speech, always fun, evil to boot. I have never had it in a game where it didn't prove to be insanely useful.

1: Thou Shalt Not Lose Caster Levels. Level adjustment is a bad plan when you're a squishy wizard.
2: Domain Wizard is getting something for nothing, but at low levels, getting more for something is better. Focused Specialist Conjurer gives you more precious spell slots and Immediate Magic.
3: At your level, your feats will probably go towards entering a prestige class. Which one are you looking at? Initiate of the Sevenfold Veil and Incantatrix are probably the best wizard PrCs, but Red Wizard is also great if you want to abuse circle magic, and Malconvoker can't be beat for summoning.

What the DM encourages and what the players do is not always the same xD.ç

When you say a feat please say the source(full name if possible). The air genasi is leeser, so no level adjustement, but loose the outsider type.
What about the stats... should i go 18 or 20? Now i read that cant stack domain and specialist so i will go focused specialist conjurer, with inmediate magic. ¿Fighter feats is worth it?
Ban enchantment, evocation and ????

Take Uncanny Forethought (Exemplars of Evil). Lets you leave slots open to spontaneously cast as any spell you know. As a Full-Round action, no matter what the spells original casting time was.

Consider Faerie Mysteries Initiate (Dragon...319?) for hp.

Nexus Method (Dragon 319) allows you to convert any non-conjuration spell into a Summon Monster of that level or lower. IIRC, you don't even need the SM line on your list to do this.

Elven Generalist Domain Wizard (race: Gray Elf for the Int boost). Spontaneous Divination (either CChamp or Complete Divine. Convert any prepared spell to a Divination) at 5th replaces the bonus feat. You should get the same number of spells/day as though you were a focused specialist. If you don't intend to use Scribe Scroll, trade it out for Eidetic Spellcaster (Dragon mag, nixes your familiar too, but removes the spellbook. This can be a godsend against those "haha took your spellbook" DMs), or Martial Wizard (SRD, uses Fighter Feats instead, take Improved Initative at 1st).

Now you can make Sorcerers everywhere curl up and cry in the fetal position while you win at D&D. Also pick up some miscellaneous scrolls with that starting wealth, you might need them.

EDIT: Also remind your Cleric that BoED lets him spontaneously cast Sanctified Spells as though they were Cure X Wounds spells. It's not even an ACF or an item, or even a feat. He can just do it. Those spells are really bad for the most part, but he can do it.

Wasn't that errata'd? Alacritous Cogitation was at any rate.




You should get the same number of spells/day as though you were a focused specialist.

Technically you'll get one fewer slow of your lower level spells, but it isn't a big deal. High level spells are the most important, and your added versatility is a huge plus.

I don't think so, but it really should have been.
