[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 4323218, member: 35909"] If you're going Wizard and losing familiar, instead of those cruddy* Immediate Magics (the best by far is the Conj one, Abrupt Jaunt. Too good, IM[not so humble]O), why not do focused caster variant? It's in the crystalkeep classes list. For evocation, you use a bladed weapon as your focus. With it, you gain some decent abilities at levels 1, 7, and (I think) 15. The first is +1 damage with Evocation spells. The second lets you cut down any enemy's effective energy resistance by 5 (to a min. of zero). The final feature lets you 1/day ignore a creature's energy resistance/immunity. The ACF gives some other cool things like the ability to enhance your focus weapon cheaper. *Sorry, but they are. Especially the counterfire. It doesn't even do anything till level 3, and at 1d6/3 levels, and not even interrupting the attacker (so you can kill him to stop the attack), it's really not worth it. There are better uses for an immediate action. [/QUOTE]
