How to level a wizard ? (feats, PrC...)

[Harm]

Aaah yeah, that was to be my next question ! How would you rate all the "sudden" feats ?

They look nice but the 1/day limitation kinda sucks.

Sudden Empower, Sudden Maximise, Sudden Quicken... look nice.

The flexibility they give is pretty huge. At lower levels they're more powerful than the non-sudden version. For clerics they get a variant, Divine Metamagic, which is even more powerful if their CHR isn't horrible.

I to am considering an Evoker as my next character... if I ever get out of DMing...

My thoughts so far...
Human Calashite Wizard (to 3rd) then 10 level of Master Specialist (C.Mage)

1) SF-evocation, bloodline of fire (2 CL boost with fire spells)
3) fiery burst, reserve feat in CM (1 CL boost with fire spells)
6) piercing evocation (CM)... so fire can still hurt things
9) energy sub
13) SF-conjuration (for archmage prereq.)
14- probably into Archmage...

by the end of MS.. you'll be casting fire spells as 18th caster!

My recommended feats for a Human Evoker 20....

Improved Initiative (Human), Extend Spell (1), Energy Substitution: Acid (3), Sculpt Spell (Wiz 5), Arcane Mastery (6), Quicken Spell (9)...

I have to agree on Sculpt Spell. For an evoker, it's really very useful. The ability to make four squares of fireball rather than a blast that will hit your allies or miss some foes is very potent.
