[QUOTE="EvilGM, post: 2819279, member: 4628"] In a long-running campaign I would do this: Human Wizard specializing in Divination (prohibit: Enchantment, and later Illusion when you become Incantatrix). Increase Intelligence every four levels. 1 - Wizard 1 - Spellcasting Prodigy, (hbf) Improved Initiative, (wbf) Scribe Scroll 2 - Wizard 2 3 - Wizard 3 - *Iron Will 4 - Wizard 4 5 - Wizard 5 - (wbf) Extend Spell; Note: need to take a metamagic feat to qualify for Incantatrix 6 - Incantatrix 1 - *Skill Focus (Spellcraft), (bmm) Empower Spell 7 - Incantatrix 2 - Cooperative Metamagic 8 - Incantatrix 3 - Metamagic Effect 9 - Incantatrix 4 - *Spell Focus (choose one), (bmm) Maximize Spell 10 - Incantatrix 5 - Metamagic Spell Trigger 11 - Incantatrix 6 - Seize Concentration 12 - Incantatrix 7 - *Spell Focus (choose one), (bmm) Widen Spell, Instant Metamagic 1/day 13 - Incantatrix 8 - Snatch Spell 14 - Incantatrix 9 - Instant Metamagic 2/day 15 - Incantatrix 10 - Spell Penetration, (bmm) Quicken Spell, Improved Metamagic 16 - Arch-Mage 1 - High Arcana (Spell Power; -5th lvl spell slot) 17 - Arch-Mage 2 - High Arcana (Mastery of Shaping; -6th lvl spell slot) 18 - Arch-Mage 3 - Greater Spell Penetration, High Arcana (Arcane Fire; -9th lvl spell slot) 19 - Arch-Mage 4 - High Arcana (choose one) 20 - Arch-Mage 5 - High Arcana (choose one) 21 - Incantatrix 11 - (epic feat), Instant Metamagic 3/day All further levels in Incantatrix. Focus choices are up to you. You might consider Improved Counterspell, Reactive Counterspell, and Epic Counterspell if the campaign will feature many spellcasters. hbf = human bonus feat wbf = wizard bonus feat bmm = bonus metamagic feat * = feat is necessary for listed advancement in prestige classes [/QUOTE]
