Fire spells without cap

[Empirate]

You have looked into other elements than fire, haven't you? I mean, with a fire focus, you DO have Energy Substitution (fire), don't you? Just look for spells with any energy descriptor and mentally swap it for fire. For example, fire sub'bed Cone of Cold.

Also, Blast of Flame hasn't been mentioned. And Fire Shield.

I only recently got into the PrC, and for a long time my focus wasn't fire at all.
I am currently wondering whether to get Energy Substitution as a feat. Although there are several others that are more interesting at the moment (like Practiced Spellcaster, which would increase CL for ALL my spells, not just the fire ones).

Isn't there a rod of sudden Energy Substitution? That might be more appropriate for this kind of thing....

also, blast of flame has a 10d6 cap.

 

[Empirate]

It does? Sorry, had that wrong.

As far as Rods go, you're out of luck, although a nice DM might let you stumble across one, or allow you to have it crafted for you.

Practiced Spellcaster is a good feat - IF you have lost caster levels in your build.

YES, pick up energy substitution as a feat. Use it on Wings of Flrry, which is an uncapped d6. They get reflex for half, but if they fail the save, they're dazed for a round.

Wings of Flurry is an incredible Fire spell, but is one of those few Sorcerer only ones.

[MENTION=25696]Herzog[/MENTION], does your PC have Sorcerer as a base?

 

[Herzog]

For reference:
Current build is Sorcerer 1/Wizard 5/Ultimate Magus 6/Sacred Exorcist 1/Silver Pyromancer 1
(qualified for UM using Greater Draconic Rite of Passage)

so yes, I've got both sorcerer and wizard as a base.
However, although silver pyromancer doesn't explicitly state it, I agreed with the DM to only apply the Silver Pyromancer's increased caster level on fire spells to the wizard side....

I'm curious, energy substitution can be applied to force spells? I thought it affected only fire/sonic/cold/acid/electricity spells

You Are Right.

However, I don't think anyone in this thread has mentioned converting Force spells with that feat.

 

[Herzog]

The (linked) Wings of Flurry mentioned is a Force spell (not a fire spell).

!! I sit corrected.

Sorry [MENTION=6674967]Binho[/MENTION]. Thanks [MENTION=25696]Herzog[/MENTION].
