Help me with my spell list?
« on: July 05, 2009, 09:33:54 PM »
Hey guys, my character in a semi-epic-non-epic-level game was just catapulted to level 19 from 11.

As a 11th level sorcerer, things were fairly simple. However, this catapult has unlocked 4 levels of spells previously unavailable, and also granted me the ability to cast and prepare a separate spell list as a wizard.

So, I really need some help with a spell list. I'll be able to cast 9th level spells as both a wizard and a sorcerer... so I can have a pretty immense library of spells available to cast at any time.

Also, if it matters : the character was a gish. level 12 prior, 4Btlsorc/1ftr/1swordmage/5abjchmp.

I could also use some help figuring out how to fill those 8 levels... the only thing I could think of was eldritch knight.

Anyway, help me with my spell problems?

I would suggest Swiftblade (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/prc/20070327). The loss of casting progression is made up by the fact that your character has a full Wizard progression. It'd take another 2 levels, but the capstone of Swiftblade would be very nice with the ridiculous number of spell slots you now have that could supply Haste. That's assuming you want to keep being a Gish. You could easily go on to being an Incantatrix or something generically good for arcane casters, if you prefer.

Thanks, going to look into that.

1st. true strike, blade of blood, ray of enfeeblement
2nd. wraithstrike lions pounce
3rd. Fireball(yay), enervation
4th. dimension door(seriously the only one I could think of, never spent alot of time developing a spell list)
5th. Cloud kill, stone sarcophagus, teleport


about it really.

You could try war weaver. It lets you release up to 5 spells as a move action, letting you buff in less than one round. That it also affects your allies is sweet sweet icing.


A gish without polymorph?
Take Draconic Polymorph (Draconomicon IIRC, could be dragon magic) and Shapechange.
You could also consider heroics (to give yourself martial study!) and nerveskitter.

Wings of Cover was already mentioned, it is pretty crazy.

Other spells to consider: Wings of Flurry (who needs fireball with this?), Solid Fog, Arcane Fusion, Greater Arcane Fusion, Greater Mirror Image, Celerity, Greater Blink, Limited Wish, Alter Fortune

Also versatile spellcaster can be pretty crazy in your build.

I looked through wizards consolidated spell list, the only spells in there were the ones I knew existed (solid fog, Gmirror image, celerity, greater blink, and limited wish), where are the other ones? Including wings of cover, couldn't find that either.

Oh, I looked up War Weaver. Looks neat, going to try and incorporate this.

The "Wings of" spells are from Races of the Dragon. Arcane Fusion is from Complete Mage. Arcane Spellsurge is from Dragon Magic.

found them, thanks.

Weird they aren't on wizards spell list.

Also, any feat recommendations? I have... 3 or 4 feats to pick up.

My classes should be something like 4Bsorc/1ftr/1swordmage/5abjch/5warweaver/?? 3 more levels to play with, and no matter what even If I went archmage I'd get 15 BAB.

Not sure if it really fits my theme, I have leadership and dragon cohort already.

was totally wrong, can't believe I can't count so bad.

I could get 15 BAB if i had 3 more levels of a full BAB full casting progression class.

Can anyone think of one? I know Eld knight but would lose out on a level for elk1.

Isn't there some other standard gish class besides elk?
