[QUOTE="lichmaster, post: 8467302, member: 6683330"] It's true that you need to be level 12 to have all the feats, but Figther 8/Wiz 4 should be enough. If you have Eldritch knight, 1/3 of your class levels count as full caster levels for the sake of spell slots progression, so this character would have the same slots of a Wiz 6, or Wiz 7 at Ftr9/Wiz4 (or obviously Ftr8/Wiz5). At level 12, with Wiz 6 slots, you have 4 level 1 slots, 3 level 2 and 3 level 3. You can upcast burning hands using a level 3 slot, and than spend the other 3 slots how you see fit. Given you'd also have 13 exertion, you can pull that off twice as you're limited by spell slots. At level 13, with Wiz 7 slots (4/3/3/1), you could be even more aggressive and use a level 4 slot to make 4 attacks and cast 4 spells in one go, and then do a "normal" nova like above. Regarding not taking any ASI, I think it's a fair sacrifice given the crazy nova you can pull off, but the loss of ASI isn't that big of a deal IMO: lacking 2 asi in the relevant ability (dex) would mean missing "just" a +2 to hit, i.e. a 10% chance. Thanks to bounded accuracy characters are really not forced to take those ASI in order to keep up with increasing AC, which is an awesome thing for me. [/QUOTE]
