View Full Version : Best Choice for a Spellsword's Channel?

Throwing around a hypothetical martial chassis (so, no casting on the base classes) Suel Archanamach/Spellsword build, for the sake of thinking. The Extra Spell feat would see use in the build, because I like options and can't for the life of me think of any feats that would be required to bring the build online beyond rather easily-met pre-reqs and Keeper of Forbidden Lore for skill rank purposes.

But seeing as Arcanamacha are limited to four schools of spells that, so far as I know, are very limited in direct offensive application, I pose to the Playground the following query: What will be the best single spell, or possibly two spells, between 1st and 5th level to pick up for use with Spellsword's Channel Spell ability?

One of the tricks with Spellswords is they can channel spells regardless of the casting time. Accordingly, I usually recommend Geas/Quest. But I guess Arcanamachs don't get that one.

At lower levels, a lesser rod of maximize spell + shivering touch is pretty potent.
