[QUOTE="Wyvernhand, post: 6124191, member: 97681"] You are 1 feat short of Archmage already (needs Spell Focus in one other school...I'd suggest Necromancy if you haven't banned it, otherwise Transmutation or Illusion are great). Master Specialist seems tailor made to drop you DIRECTLY into Archmage. You can become one right after 13th level, which consequently is 3+10, and MS gives you Skill Focus (Spellcraft) as a bonus feat to avoid taking it as a regular feat tax. I'm also a fan of nabbing Skill Focus (Knowledge: Religion) and jumping into 2 levels of Divine Oracle for the Prescience Sense...AKA Evasion, then using that Skill Focus AGAIN as a prereq for 1-3 levels of Loremaster (you need 1 more Metamagic or Crafting feat though). Loremaster gives you, among other things, a bonus feat to replace the one you lit on fire for Skill Focus Knowledge, which you've already double used as a prereq for both DO and LM. If you want to be REALLY awesome, see if you can pick up the Skill Focus Knowledge feat from visiting the Frog God's Fane in Complete Scoundrel, which grants you the feat for free (well, for a 2000g WBL value, a real steal). That just ends up netting you a free feat period. Otherwise, have you looked at Malconvoker from Complete Scoundrel? It's a fiend-binder class that fights fire with fire. Goodly aligned casters who bend evil fiends and devils against their kin for the greater good. Its delicious AND nutritious. It does lose a single CL at 1st level, but the general concensus of the community seems to be that it is one of the better reasons to lose a CL, if you have to lose one, since the rewards are well worth the price of admission. I think you could handle the prereqs easily enough with your current build, as well. [/QUOTE]
