Q93
I'm building a Beholder Mage using, Divine Minion of Thoth, Abberant Wild Shape and Assume Supernatural Abiltiy. I can't decide whether to go with Rainbow Servant, incantatrix or to mix it up with Ur-Priest and go Mystic Theuge. It's a level 15 build, and I really want to be able to persist my spells, but would also love to throw some cleric spells in there. What do I do?
So the simple question is: What is better, Beholder Mage 3/Incantatrix 10/Something 2 (probably arcane archer or something silly); Beholder Mage 1/Rainbow Servant 10/Incantatrix 4 (probably some fighter type); Or Beholder Mage 1/Ur-Priest 2/Mystic Theuge 8/Incantatrix 4.
Ps. My base race could be just about anything, so I guess I could be a Gnome and go Shadowcraft mage, but is that better than Incantatrix?
I would say that at a glance, Beholder Mage 1/RS 10/Incantatrix 4 looks the best. You get a lot of metamagic goodies, no CL loss, no having to keep track of more than one CL and you are STILL delightfully SAD.
Thanks, I guess that was what I figured as well.
It does raise the question of what to ban with Incantatrix though. Normally I'd go Evocation without a second thought, but since Miracle is an Evocation spell, perhaps I should ban Enchantment or Necromancy instead.
EDIT:
Q98 on a related note, how does the eye rays aspect of the beholder work when you shapechange into something else? Because I would prefer sticking around in a Solar form instead of that lousy Beholder form, but can I still cast 10 spells a round then?
