Shadowcraft Mage at VERY low levels.

[McPoyo]

Dragon type is in the same tier of the pyramid with undead, is it not? It doesn't change, in that case.

[The_Mad_Linguist]

Type pyramid is 3.0 (and thus outdated), overriden via the "specific overrides general" on every template, and also, really dumb.

[Nytemare3701]

Bah. I'm swimming in cheese to no real benefit.

I just want to be a ghostly ancestor kobold with levels following the list in the OP.

Moving away from the template stacking insanity, What about the feats? I updated the OP with the free slots, as well a list of feats to order.

[Nytemare3701]

I didn't see a rule about bumping threads when they drop off the front page, and I think some new eyes would help...so *bump*

[McPoyo]

We frequently have 2 year+necros. Amechra can explain more on that

Also, sometimes we'll have threads updated within the last 24 hours on page 3. There's no StJude over here.

[Nytemare3701]

Wow. That's pretty crazy. I'm playing this character in about 8 hours, so any further help would be greatly appreciated.

We are only level 4 though, so feats are a pretty moot point until I get into Inc levels.

[McPoyo]

I'll post some stuff oonce I get into work and get my laptop booted.

[Rebel7284]

Persistent Spell is nice to pick up

[McPoyo]

Here's some feats that might be useful to you: Extraordinary Concentration (CAdv 109), Extend Spell, Persist once you hit Incantatrix 3 to apply it after casting, and Deceptive Spell (Cityscape).

[Nytemare3701]

Alright...We actually started the game, and after 2 days I was "resurrected" (I asked the DM to remove the ghost template for party interaction). So far it plays just like any other caster, except for my intentional lack of blasting spells. I might make a habit of playing overpowered characters without the cheese.

Um...
How exactly are you qualifying for SCM as a kobold without Stoneblessed?
Simply ignoring the racial restriction or changing it to kobold?

[McPoyo]

There's an adaptation section that let's you remove the racial req.

[Nytemare3701]

Ignoring, as I was an shadow specialized illusionist beforehand. I have to follow the following rule:

1. Shadow flavored spells first when selecting spells known.

[Nytemare3701]

Gonna toss 9 levels of Incantatrix for Metaphysical Spellshaper 3.  Qualifying for halruaan elder is a pain in the ass btw.

Edit: On another note, should I keep the item familiar for spellcraft? I'm planning on doing the enveloping pit/shadow genesis/metanode/acorn in our stronghold "weatherlight" airship.

[Nytemare3701]

Just had a stupid moment. I could do the -1 metamagics instead of easy/practical.
