Magic Missile Master

[Morth]

Okay, I think I'm addicted to the ineffable wisdom of these boards, so I have some other questions...

I plan on building a character who uses only the magic missile spell. The plan was to go in either War-mage, Wizard, and/or Ultimate Magus, and using the slots to prepare a metric crap ton of MM spells, using Metamagic to try and make them worth casting, so my question is...

What feats would compliment this style?

There was a thread about this a few days age, also consider the force missile mage prestige class, (10 level version on forums) http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=106199, casting magic missile is what they do.

There was a thread on this, seriously, just last week.

Anyway, Argent Savant (Complete Arcane) gives bonuses on [Force] spells, Force Missile Mage (Dragon Compendium) gives bonuses on Magic Missile, and Incantatrix (Magic of Faerûn, or here) allows you to Metamagic everything to hell and back. Chain Missile and Force Missiles (Spell Compendium) are neat higher-level versions of Magic Missile. Magic Missile responds well to Arcane Fusion (Races of the Dragon? I think?), if you're a Sorcerer.

Fell Drain and Fell Weakening from Libris Mortis (sp?) are neat. They add Str damage and negative levels to your spells for only +1 adjustment each. If you throw Arcane Thesis (I thin from Complete Arcane) on there you can do them together as a first level spell.

If you go sorcerer (which I think you should) you can throw Versatile Spellcaster from Races of The Dragon on there to trade up two lower level spell slots for one of the next level up. This can be very useful whien attempting to pile metamagic onto a character.

Would fell weakening and fell drain add str dam and negative levels PER magic missile or per instance of casting? I mean, if you're level 3 and get 2 missiles you can target 2 individuals, would both receive str damage and negative levels? If you target 1 would it receive twice?

Not sure about the multiple foes part, but fell weakening does not stack with itself

You want this build. Or, if you want fewer rulebooks thrown at you, you want to just use parts of this build here and there, instead of the whole (awesome) thing. Thousands of damage and many negative levels/round? Sign me up!

Fell drain gives a negative level for each time a spell hits, each missile is a seperate hit so its one per missile. With the 10 level PrC I mentions, you can give 24 negatives levels at level 20 with greater magic missile.

I direct you to my former thread, under the EXACT SAME NAME, on magic missiles. http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showt...missile+master Tell me, did you take your daily dose of search bar today?

As a bunch of us mentioned above, he does not know of it and probably has never taken it in his life.

I know, I just believe that giving him the thread might be the way to go about it, seeing as he didn't keep me away by taking his searchbar today.
