[QUOTE="EvilGM, post: 1821231, member: 4628"] Here's the path I took with a Human (generalist) Wizard... 1 - Wizard 1st lvl: Summon Familiar, Scribe Scroll; (1st lvl feat) Skill Focus (Spellcraft), (human bonus feat) Spell Casting Prodigy 2 - Wizard 2nd lvl 3 - Wizard 3rd lvl: (3rd lvl feat) Iron Will 4 - Wizard 4th lvl: +1 Int 5 - Wizard 5th lvl: (wizard bonus feat) Extend Spell 6 - Incantatrix 1st lvl: (incantatrix bonus feat) Empower Spell, (6th lvl feat) Spell Focus (Necromancy) 7 - Incantatrix 2nd lvl: Cooperative metamagic 8 - Incantatrix 3rd lvl: +1 Int; Metamagic effect 9 - Incantatrix 4th lvl: (incantatrix bonus feat) Maximize Spell, (9th lvl feat) Spell Focus (Evocation) 10 - Incantatrix 5th lvl: Metamagic spell trigger 11 - Incantatrix 6th lvl: Seize concentration 12 - Incantatrix 7th lvl: +1 Int; Instant metamagic 1/day; (incantatrix bonus feat) Widen Spell, (12th lvl feat) Spell Penetration 13 - Incantatrix 8th lvl: Snatch spell 14 - Incantatrix 9th lvl: Instant metamagic 2/day 15 - Incantatrix 10th lvl: Improved metamagic; (incantatrix bonus feat) Quicken Spell, (15th lvl feat) Twin Spell 16 - Arch Mage 1st lvl: +1 Int; High Arcana (Mastery of Shaping) 17 - Arch Mage 2nd lvl: High Arcana (Arcane Fire) 18 - Arch Mage 3rd lvl: High Arcana (Mastery of Elements); (18th lvl feat) Chain Spell 19 - Arch Mage 4th lvl: High Arcana (Spell Power) 20 - Arch Mage 5th lvl: +1 Int; High Arcana (Spell-Like Ability (Time Stop)) --- 21 - Incantatrix 11th lvl: Instant metamagic 3/day; (21st lvl feat) Improved Spell Capacity (10th) and so on... continuing with Incantatrix levels (mine is 24th atm and kicks major butt). The Incantatrix abilities are nice, especially if there are other casters in the group. You do have to give up one school of magic (not abjuration/divination) when you take Incantatrix, but its a small price to pay. Incantatrix is from Player's Guide to Faerun (pg 61). I wish I had taken something other than Twin Spell at 15 - it's a dud. Hope that gives you a little insight. Good luck with your character! [/QUOTE]
