[QUOTE="Khaalis, post: 2474659, member: 2167"] Wow, thats a tall order to fill. There are just so many questions that need to be asked. What kind of speciality do you want in the caster (pure blaster, utility, flavor, etc.)? Do you want a true "specialist"? Do you use UA? What kind of flavor do you want the character have (ie: planar, divine, gish, etc.)? Here are some really basic ideas I have done up, if you use all WotC sources and dont mind world dipping. [u]Classic Power Build[/u]: Wizard (Abjurer) 5 / Incantrix 10 / Archamge 5 [u]Pure Force Blaster[/u]: Warmage 1 / Battle Sorcerer 5 / Force Missile Mage (DR328) 5 / Argent Savant 5 / War Mage (AoM) 4 [u]Force Wizard[/u]: Wizard 6 / Force Missile Mage (DR328) 5 / Argent Savant 5 / Incantrix 4 1 Wizard - Silent Spell, Still Spell 2 Wizard 3 Wizard - Quicken Spell 4 Wizard 5 Wizard - Empower Spell 6 Wizard - Combat Casting 7 FMM (Bonus Missile, Still Missile) 8 FMM (Energy Missile, Swift Shield) 9 FMM - Empower Spell – (Overpowering Missile) 10 FMM (Reflective Shield) 11 Argent Savant - Force Specialization 12 FMM - Iron Will – (Bonus Missile) 13 Argent Savant – (Force Armor) 14 Argent Savant – (Extend Force) 15 Argent Savant Feat (Ablate Force) 16 Argent Savant – (Unbind Force) 17 Incantatrix (B) - Innate Spell – (Focused Study) 18 Incantatrix - Repeat Spell – (Cooperative Metamagic) 19 Incantatrix (Metamagic Effect) 20 Incantatrix (B)Twin Spell Both Force casters - Combine with [i]Mordenkainen’s Force Missiles[/i]: [url]http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=dnd/sb/sb20020809a[/url] [u]Gish[/u]: (17 or 18th caster level) Fighter 1 / Sorcerer 6 / Eldritch Knight 10 / Archmage 3 Paladin 2 / Sorcerer 6 / Eldritch Knight 10 / Archmage 2 (Dwarf) Fighter 1 / Wizard 4 / Runesmith 4 / Spellsword 1 / Eldritch knight 10 [u]Gish[/u]: (18th caster level - maximizes use of 1st level Magic Missile) Warmage 1 / Battle Sorcerer 5 / Force Missile Mage (DR328) 5 / Argent Savant 5 / Spellsword 1 / Dragonslayer 1 / Eldritch Knight 2 [u]Bardic Wizard[/u]: Wizard (Diviner) 5 / Harper Mage 5 / Loremaster 10 [u]Theurge[/u]: Exalted Wizard (Evoker or Enchanter) 8 / Apostle of Peace 2 / Mystic Theurge 10 Hope that gives you some ideas to think on and formulate what you want to present.
