[QUOTE="Gaiden, post: 503905, member: 103"] I want to make a character designed around the concept of an armored arcane caster (for a backup character for RttToEE). I thought that the Paladin/Sorcerer combination would work the best as it is the only combination that relies on the same ability score for its primary abilities. Following the concept of the 2e fighter/mage, I wanted to have a character that was good at both things (rather than sucking at both things - which seems the norm when a spellcasting class is combined with a non-spellcasting class). I came up with the following: Pal2/Sor4/MotAO7/Sac.Exo.7. With abilities arranged in order of importance: Chr, Str/Con, Wis/Int/Dex Feats: Still Spell, Arcane Preparation, Cooperative Spell, Power Attack, Divine Might, Leadership, Extend Spell, Persistant Spell Skills: prereq required skills + max out concentration and spell craft Spells 1st - true strike, shield, magic missile, color spray 2nd - web 3rd - haste 4th - improved invisibility, polymorph self 5th - wall of force 6th - tensor's transformation, greater dispelling, summon monster VI 7th - limited wish 9th - wish, time stop I wanted to get feedback from the collective wisdom of the boards. Let me know what you all think about my current spell selection as well as what I ought to add and also my feat choices and class choices. I was thinking that perhaps I should nix the MotAO and go with a different PrC (or only take 2 levels of it). If I don't take MotAO, then I will have to take dismissal as a spell (otherwise I can get it from the spellpool to satisfy the prereq's of the Sac.Exo. PrC and then the domain gives it to me. Also, I will have to take another PrC with access to all Knowledge skills so I can get the requisite K(planes) rank requirement for the Sac. Exo. Another idea I had was to take the best versions of the shadow spells and then take spell focus and greater spell focus illusion. [/QUOTE]
