I'm fiddling with buff/heal builds involving the War Weaver from Heroes of Battle. I've found a couple of interesting ideas :
1 ) Wizard -> Spellguard of Silverymoon -> Warweaver 5 -> Abjurant Champion. This Spellguard allows the ability to cast personal defensive spells as touch spells, thus enabling my Warweaver to cast some otherwise-impossible buffs.
2 ) Cleric 1 Wizard 3 Mystic Theurge X Warweaver 5. CHEESY AND BORKED AT THE SAME TIME. Qualifies for MT through Arcane Disciple. This build is predicated on the premise that divine buffs are teh r0xx0rz.
There are a couple of basic good ideas, in order of cheesiness :
1 ) Reach Spell feat. Get those buffs out further.
2 ) Hiding. I shouldn't even be visible to the bad guys.
3 ) Spontaneosity. Scrolls or Alacritous Cogitation for a wizard. Sorcerer's teeny spells known do not appeal to me, although the ability to mix and match metamagic to fit a fluid combat situation is nice.
4 ) Chain Spell feat, for when my tapestry doesn't apply. Say, if we gain a small army or if my party members are too far away for regular tapestry use.
4 ) Healing. Accessible through a single dip into a divine class or Arcane Disciple, and then usable through Spontaneous Healer. POSSIBLY CHEESY?
5 ) Celerity and related timestop spells. CHEESY, ESPECIALLY WITH SPELLGUARD.
Suggestions? Are there other fun builds available for Warweavers?
