Arcane Prestige Class with Full Progression Wanted

[TarionzCousin]

Google has let me down. It can't find a list of Prestige Classes with full spellcasting progression.

I can use 3E, 3.5, Pathfinder, or any reliable online source (such as Giantitp.com). My knowledge of Third Party Pathfinder stuff is pretty weak, but I am willing to buy a pdf if it has a class that works for me.

My character is a Specialist Transmuter, but the Master Specialist from Complete Mage doesn't fit well. I don't have the Spell Focus feat (and don't want to take it yet) and the "esoterica" abilities don't fit my spells--not a shapechanger or polymorpher.

I'm basically looking for full progression plus something cool. So far, Shadow Adept from the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting is leading the pack.

Any suggestions?

Let's see...

The basics:
Loremaster - Pathfinder_OGC
Diabolist - Pathfinder_OGC

Different:
Harrower - Pathfinder_OGC
Cyphermage - Pathfinder_OGC

Requires spell focus:
Bloatmage - Pathfinder_OGC
Genie Binder - Pathfinder_OGC

Incantatrix [some Faerun book]
Archmage [core 3E]
Initiate of the Sevenfold Veil (requires wasting a LOT of feats, though) [C.Arcane]
Geometer [C.Arcane]


Just some cool/good ones off the top of my head you'd qualify for.

Since you're a Transmuter, I'd recommend War Weaver (Heroes of Battle). Those guys are the ultimate party buffers, as they can drop multiple buffs at once, and buffs which are usually single-target are now multi-target.

If you're at all a combat mage there is the ever necessary Abjurant Champion from Complete Mage

I would also second the War Weave PrC from Heroes of battle... very useful as a party mage

Doesn't War Weaver lose caster levels?

You are correct [MENTION=35909]StreamOfTheSky[/MENTION], it actually does lose CL at the 1st level...
