[QUOTE="Slaved, post: 3602614, member: 43358"] Ok, lots of evoking but you want other spells as well. I would suggest warmage. I know it has been suggested before but it is pretty much the way to go for what you want. After that, find a race with a bonus to at least one mental stat with no penalties to any mental stats. Next up, grow old. Put yourself in at least the second age category if not the third. You will need some stat boosting. Particularly con and all of your mental stats. If you can swing it a belt of magnificence might work out perfectly. After all of that, feat choices. Grab the feat Arcane Disciple and pick all of the domains with those various spells you could not get otherwise. Now you get to cast them whenever you like, although only once per day each. Get some wands of the more utility ones and you are all set. At this point your hp will be about the same as that of a normal wizard, you will be able to wear armor, you have all of the evoking you could ever possibly want, you have a ton of other spells to take advantage of besides, and you have so many slots that you can look good doing it all day long! No worrying about a spellbook, so many backgrounds that practically write themselves, and your damage potential is extreme. [/QUOTE]
