WIP: http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=186736

I'll have a basic stub up later today, I'm going to avoid stuff like Incantatrix this time around :)

Minor Typo: Vulberable- Venerable.

Other than that, I just need a build progression. Not like you could go Incanatrix anyway (Faerun), but I appreciate the specific avoidance.

Is retraining of feats allowed?

I'm thinking about swapping either Cloudy Conjuration or Fiery Burst at level 5 for Diversified Casting (Dr. 325) to get my hands on Great Thunderclap ;)

I don't own that particular issue, so not likely.

If it helps, the feat is described on CrystalKeep, and I have the actual issue, so I could quote it here (like I did with the Power Surge feat for my DFA)...

What level would you be taking it at?

Well, is retraining allowed for allowable material, then? For instance, if I wanted to take Shape Soulmeld and then decided to retrain it later for a different Soulmeld, or for say Improved Initiative because that seemed more useful, or something.
-----
Or if I wanted to retrain Weapon Focus after I get into Knight of the Sacred Seal, since it's not a very good feat? :P

Weapon Focus (among others) is one of the feats I'm going to be changing relatively soon, but Retraining has been allowed since the beginning.

What level would you be taking it at?
Once at level 1 (already on my MW sheet) for Enchantment, so I can qualify for Mindbender.
And a second time for Evocation, replacing either Cloudy Conjuration (level 1) or Fiery Burst (level 3). Retraining would happen at level 5.

Alright, I'll reserve judgement on the poor feat until I see its upgrade. :D

I take it Mindbender is for Lifesight. That's getting fairly strong, be aware that if this goes Ur-Priest/Mystic Theurge your PB will be getting fairly low (20-22pb).

If you mean Mindsight, then yes. I figured I'd try to cover multiple roles. Mindsight allows me to dabble as the party scout/AWACS.

And no, no Ur-Priest shenanigans, just staying pure Arcane. Just haven't decided on other PrC's yet.

I can cover multiple roles, though not all at the same time. Once I get to EBL 8, maybe. :D

ok one question is how will it work with the warblade feat Weapon Aptitude ?

Well, we've got a melee brute/tank, a conjurer GOD wizard, and a fifth-wheel (me). I can fill most any niche, though not quite as well now as I can later. You can pretty much play anything you think would be fun. Then again, I'm not entirely sure what we'll be going up against, exactly. I'm also the only one who made an official vote on the location, so I suppose there's some room available.

Sometimes if I'm looking for ideas on a character I look at what people are putting together over on the Min/Max forum, or I'll just look through random books and see if there's anything I haven't tried putting together yet.

I finally decided... I think I will be some kind of druid (prolly using some cool alternative class features to limit my powers).
I will make the char a little later :) now I am at least started

I'm working on my character/build now. Trying to settle on a race to start with, then figure out feats an equipment for the 20 projected levels as normal. I want the race to be optimal, but also within the bounds of the flavor I'm going for. Honestly, I'm rather busy this week with finals so I may not get devoted time for this until late in the coming week. I'll try to work on it in pieces as I get the chance.

So, SiFir, I'm not entirely sure. Was Diversified Casting allowed or not?

Once I get final word on that, I'll finish up my character.

I'll allow the feat.
