So Imp Spell Capcity is the epic feat, right?

Reach Spell might be good in this case, I'd think. Looks like we're banking on Empower Spell, too, from the 3rd level spell list.

What weapon are we giving it - a life-drinker?

 

[freyar]

We could! Though that raises a question -- is this an advanced form of the Fool? If so, should we call it that? If not, why don't we drop the Fighter level?

It's not, so yeah, we should drop that level. I can't believe I forgot to do so!

In that case, the question is whether a life-drinker is worth burning a feat. Probably not.

Let's go with Reach Spell, Empower Spell, Quicken Spell, maybe a Spell Focus or two, Heighten Spell (also in the spell list so far), ...

Yeah, let's stick with a staff or something. It shouldn't need to rely on melee weapons.

Good feat selection thus far...

Thankfully that fighter level doesn't cost the epic feat. Whew.

Actually Reach Spell is superfluous with arcane reach, so let's drop that.

Empower Spell, Quicken Spell, Heighten Spell, ...

Since we're aiming for evocation, how about Spell Focus (evocation), Greater Spell Focus (evocation)?

That leaves 5 more. What about Craft Rod and give it some rod it can use as a weapon? If we give it some spells with a duration, I could fancy Extend Spell and Persistent Spell. Any thoughts on the last two?

Energy Substitution? Eschew Materials?

 

[Cleon]

Yeah, let's stick with a staff or something. It shouldn't need to rely on melee weapons.

I was tempted by a rod of withering but at its Challenge Rating the rod's DC17 Fort save is too trivial.

Good feat selection thus far...

They're OK so far.
