[Bo9S] Jade Phoenix mage ouchies

[hong]

Right (as silly as that is).

But the Jade Phoenix mage has a class ability that lets you hit someone with a martial strike, and then your next spell is quickened. It's not quite clear if this includes the extended casting time for sorcs, but my impression is that it doesn't.

Well, it says "as by Quicken Spell", and Quicken doesn't work for sorcs, so a strict reading would say that the class ability doesn't work either. Personally I wouldn't have a problem letting sorc/JPMs take advantage of the ability (it's part of their schtick, and nothing a rod of Quicken couldn't do).

I was referring more to the fact a wiz/JPM could prep quickened true strike and have 8th level strikes, though. And this is possible by 16th level, by my calculations. (A pure wiz/WB could do it by 20th.)

Another class combo I was thinking up was Swordsage/Duskblade/JPM. What classes would others choose before getting into this PRC?

Swordsage 2/Duskblade 6/JPM 10 would be an interesting build. I might actually end up statting up this character Any thoughts on stat alottments and feats?

Cheers,

If you use a Sorcerer variant that can take advantage of Quicken Spell, then it's hard to argue with a Battle Sorcerer 4 / Swordsage 2 / JPM 10 (with the Ascetic Mage feat to add his Charisma to AC in Light armor).

EDIT: Or, just a plain Sorcerer 4 / Swordsage 2 (+ Ascetic Mage) / JPM 10, with a two-level break for Dragonslayer 1 / Spellsword 1 at the earliest opportunity.

Well, that was after spending 30,000 gp and buttering up the DM. This is, like, without having to butter up the DM, mang!

Ring of spell storing would be the easiest way to get truestrike, although I see you've already got two rings. An Ioun stone of spell storing would be 36,000gp and would need to be refilled after each 3 truestrikes called out of it

methinks you got a bargin from your DM

All things are possible by judicious buttering up of the DM.
