[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5005467, member: 19675"] I love to play melee-minded arcane spellcasters. This thread is a database for 3.X classes, feats, etc. that (hopefully) will help people design whatever flavor of 2-fisted arcanists they care to. Obviously, this will take a bit of time, and I'm not perfect- if you see something I missed or messed up, let me know!
