Sand Shaper min/maxing

[Nexahs]

The character I'm currently playing is going to be a Warmage 6/Sand Shaper 10 (not necessarily in that order, I'll probably pick up Warmage 6 after Sand Shaper). I'm not sure how long this campaign will go so I'm looking for advice on what to take after that, as well as general feat/magic item advice.

To start off, I would find a way to boost your caster level in order to qualify for sandshaper earlier, here (http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/19872350/Raising_Caster_Level) i found a list of boosts, so find ones that will work for you.

If you can manage a constant +4 to your caster level, you can enter sandshaper at Level 2 given you spend your first level feat on the touchstone and have a touchstone key. Of course this is likely to require lots of GP, so will be impractical barring cheese. However entering a level or two early should be doable.

The less levels you spend in warmage, the better, because prestiges really do a lot for this guy.


If you are allowed to grab metaphysical spell shaper, do so along with the feat Bind Vestige for specific use with Naberius to easily apply lots of metamagic to your spells at low to no cost. Rotating along four ability scores, which you more or less safely do as warmage, you could drop a maximized spell every turn, or whatever you want, its really a great pick if you can nab it.

You might want to slap on the magic-blooded template to reduce the Cha penalty, though.

I'm having trouble phrasing this in a manner that doesn't sound somewhat rude, but it's absolutely not my intention. I just wonder, why is it you seem to think a third party PrC, that is commonly known as overpowered, is something you would expect to be allowed?

I should have mentioned this, but I'm trying to plan this mid-campaign. I've already invested four levels in Warmage (playing a gnome), and with my skills the way they are I'll just be able to prestige into sand shaper as my sixth character level. I'm pretty content with my build through level fifteen, I was mostly looking for tips on what to take after that, as well as ideas for feats.
