[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 3788479, member: 4936"] Here's a second draft...since there weren't questions or objections to the first, I assume that means you're okay with the spell selection. This draft doesn't change anything but the items and two feats...I did some shuffling, some consolidating. No huge changes though. The net result is that I traded some offensive capacity for some defensive capacity, as I felt my AC and saves were a bit low. As for feats, I traded in Eschew Materials (as much as I love that feat for sorcerors) for Sunlight Eyes, a Reserve feat from Complete Mage. As long as I have 5th level slots left, Sunlight Eyes lets me spend a swift action to see through up to 50' in any light conditions...darkness, magic darkness...whatever. The ability only lasts one round per activation though, so if I'm using it constantly it precludes the use of Quickened spells. Let me know if there's any questions or problems, or heck even comments or corrections. :) [sblock=Shard v.2.0]Name: Shard Race: Human Class/Level: Sorceror 5/Wild Mage 9 Gender: Female Exp Desc: Pending Strength (STR) 8 -1 Dexterity (DEX) 16 +3 (8) Constitution (CON) 14 +2 (6) Intelligence (INT) 10 +0 (2) Wisdom (WIS) 14 +2 (6) Charisma (CHA) 18 +4 (10) Alignment: Chaotic Neutral AC: 20 (10 + 4 Dex + 4 armor +2 luck) Buffed AC: 24 (+4 shield) Hit Points: 4+13d4+28 Movement: 30' Init: +4 Base Attack Bonus: +6 Melee Attack: +5 Ranged Attack: +9 Fort: +11 Reflex: +16 Will: +14 Race Abilities Bonus Feat Bonus skills Class Abilities: Sorceror - Metamagic Specialist (PHB2 variant) Wild Mage - Wild Magic (-3 base caster level, but +1d6 when each spell cast) - Random Deflector 3/day (redirect some spells/attacks to random target within 20') - Student of Chaos (When using magic device that offers random result, roll twice and select) - Chaotic Mind (immune to Confusion & Insanity, constant Nondetection effect) - Reckless Dweomer (Can expend slot of 1st level or higher to produce Rod of Wonder effect) Skills: 24+27 Concentration +19 (17 ranks +2 Con) Knowledge Arcana +10 (8 ranks +0 Int +2 Synergy) Knowledge Planes +4 (4 ccranks ranks +0 Int) Spellcraft +7 (5 ranks +0 Int +2 feat) Use Magic Device +12 (4 ccranks +2 ranks +2 feat +4 Cha) Languages - Common, Draconic Feats 1 Celestial Heritage (+2 vs elec & petri, gain Prot from Evil) 1 Magical Aptitude 3 Empower Spell 6 Celestial Lance (1d8/spell level used, 60' line, only to evil) 9 Quicken Spell 12 Sunlight Eyes (swft action, 1rnd see in any lighting condition 50', +1 CL light) Spells (Base DC 17+lvl, Caster level 12+1d6) 0 6/6 - Acid Splash, Mending, Message, Ghost Sound, Light, Disrupt Undead, Prestidigitation, Arcane Mark, Detect Poison 1 8/8 - Shield, Magic Missile, Dawnburst, Alarm, True Strike, Protection from Evil 2 8/8 - Invisibility, Arcane Turmoil, Rope Trick, See Invisible, Dimension Hop 3 8/8 - Energy Aegis, Arcane Sight, Disobedience, Phantom Steed 4 7/7 - Confusion, Ennervation, Voice of the Dragon, Orb of Force 5 7/7 - Telekinesis, Lucent Lance, Greater Blink 6 6/6 - Disintegrate, Greater Heroism 7 4/4 - Limited Wish Noncore spells Dawnburst (Complete Mage) - Causes all creatures within 10' of caster to glow like torches for 1 rnd/lvl.
