- What is Spellfire? If it's an Immediate Magic ACF, then it's out, already asked for alt. class features and was told none allowed.
- Cantrip, none of those are available to me. Well, I don't know what SoX is, but pretty sure whatever it is, it's out. Here is all the books the DM has, if you think any have something of use besides C.Arc, PHB 2, and the dragon ones:
[spoiler]Player's Handbook 2
Complete Warrior
Complete Arcane
Planar Handbook
Races of the Dragon
Dragon Magic
Tome of Battle: The Book of Nine Swords
Tome of Magic
Magic of Incarnum
Stormwrack
Monster Manual 2 and 4
Draconomicon
Libris Mortis
Fiendish Codex 1 and 2
Fiend Folio
Exemplars of Evil
Elder Evils
[/spoiler]
Just note, even though ToB is on the list, DM is squeamish about it for some reason and would rather not have material used from it. Also, due to party composition and the unique rules of the setting, being good aligned is VERY important (not being good aligned bones you HARD if you die and need to be raised).
- Arcane Mastery was one of my interests. Not sure it'll be enough to auto win many SR checks, monsters at higher levels tend to have them ramped up pretty fast track, IME. I have the iuon stone for +1 CL so CL is 18, might go Archmage at 18th level to get another +1, though current build is Transmuter 9, so the bonus feat seems more appealing. It might be useful for dispelling, though.
-
Practical Metamagic is basically a sorcerer feat, it requires spontaneous casting and dragonblooded. You may have been thinking of Easy Metamagic, from one of the dragon magazines.
- Craft Contingent Spell is possible... Can you have that active AND a regular contingency? I have Greater Shadow Evocation precisely for Contingency already.
- Familiar stuff: What kinds of familiars would be useful, you think? I'm just really afraid of my familiar dying and was mostly content with a Hawk sinc it can ferry people across chasms in a bag of holding in a pinch and as a bird gets a massive duration factor if I PAO it into a T-Rex or something.
