Also, is it viable in such a setup?Originally posted by phoenix00:yes it is viablemind mage is in one of the dragon magazines, requires two of the dragon feats in the same issue.<a href="http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=624041(x)" target="_blank">http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=624041(x)</a>----See if you can get your DM to adapt Ultimate Magus to an arcane/psion prc, and use it in conjunction with cerbemancerOriginally posted by sinfire_titan:Good Idea: Use Focused Specialist to ignore the CL check from PA until you are able to cast 2nd level spells normally. And doing this allows you to cast other spells too.Originally posted by Endarire:What's this trick about Focused Caster and how's it work?Originally posted by sinfire_titan:...Are you kidding me? I've been saying this in every Dual-caster thread that involves Wizard for a month now! And I've even tried to get 9th level spells out of it at 1st level!Anyway:Originally posted by tsuyoshikentsu:I actually prefer Precocious Apprentice/Arcane Mastery, as it's an overall more useful feat (and gives you access to high-level scrolls on a consistent basis ridiculously early) but yes, Foc. Spec. does work like that.Originally posted by awaken_D_M_golem:Wiz 1 / Ardent 2 with Precocious Manifester / Cereb 4 / Mind Mage 10 / Cereb 3MM 10 gets both Int + Wis to certain spells.From Ph00's link:Mind Mage[sblock]Mind Mage RequirementsFeats: Any two psi-spell featsSpells: Ability to cast 3rd level or higher arcanespells.Powers: Ability to manifest 2nd level or higherpowers.Special: Must have received training in the art ofmind magic, or acquired comprehensive texts from whichto learn its secrets.Mind Mage Class InformationHD: d4Skills: 2 + Int modifier per level; Autohypnosis,Concentration, Craft, Knowledge (all, takenindividually), Psicraft, Spellcraft, Any two skillsnot noted above from the class skill list for apsionic class in which he has taken levels.PSI-SPELL FEATS - REQAll of these in some way enhance the performance ofenergy spells. Twin Wells Same Source will enhancethe DCs (mostly double the Int modifier isPsion/Wizard, for example).Agitated Causticity - any two spells with the aciddescriptor, the matter agitation power.Astral Fire - any two spells with fire descriptor, anytwo powers with fire descriptorBioelectrical Surge - any two spells with electricitydescriptor, control body powerBull Blast - Harden EnergyConcussive Blast - Harden EnergyDual Plane Summons - any summon monster spell, astralconstruct powerEnergy Flare - Agitated Causticity, Astral Fire,Bioelectrical Surge, or Solid FreezeHarden Energy - ability to manifest any force power,cast any spell with energy descriptorSolid Freeze - any two spells with the colddescriptor, the control flames powerSaves: Will Good, Fort & Refl poor.BAB: As WizardArcane progression: 8/10 progression, missing at2nd/4th levels.Manifester progression: 8/10 progression, missing at1st/3rd levels.Psionic Components (lvl 1): may substitute pps for V,S, and 1gp or less M components. 2pp per spell level.Compensation (lvl 2): May reduce cost of metamagicfeat; for each 3 pp spent, may offset spell levelincrease by one. May reduce cost of metapsionic feat;for every spell level spent, may reduce the additionalpp cost by 2pps. May not be used in conjunction withpsi-spell feats. May not reduce below normal cost ofspell or power.Psionic Reinforcement (lvl 3): As long as MM has ppreserve of 5 or greater, +1 on Spell DCs. At 9thlevel this increases to +2 if the reserve is 10 pps orhigher.Force Touch (lvl 4): May deliver any spell thatrequires a touch attack with the following powers:concussion, detonation, greater concussion, lesserconcussion, mass concussion, true concussion. Theforce power has its normal effect in addition todelivering the spell. The Force power will affectonly a single target, and must have line of sight. SRapplies individually to the power and the spell.Twin Wells (lvl 5): 1/day, as a full round action thatprovokes AoO, he may add his MM levels to either hispsionic or arcane class to determine spellcasting ormanifesting levels. This lasts for 24 hours. Doesnot affect number of spells per day or power points.Magical Reinforcement (lvl 6): 1/day per MM level hemay increase the effective level of one of his powersby one level, as the Heighten Power feat, at no cost.Choose to use this at the time the power is activated.Focus of Disciline (lvl 7): May reduce to lower theeffective spell level by spending 8 power points perlevel of reduction. May reduce pp cost of a power by2 per level of spell spent. Arcane spellcasters whoprepare spells must make this decision when preparingspells. The reduced level of the spell or poweraffects the DC, identification for counterspelling,and ease of dispelling, and acts in all ways as aspell or power of the new, lower level.Painful Premonition (lvl 8) The MM may chose toaugment a damaging spell or power a number of timesper day equal to the ability modifier that controlshis manifester class. The target must make a Willsave against a 6th level telepathic power. Successnegates all effects of the premonition. Failur impsesa -2 penalty on the target's saving throw (if any)against the incoming effect and deals nonlethal damageequal to the damage of the incoming spell or power.If the target somehow reduces or escapes the incomingeffect, then an equivalent portion of the nonlethaldamage is averted. Mindless creatures, creaturesimmune to mind-affecting effects, and thos with nodiscernable anatomy are immune to painful premonition.Twin Wells Same Source (lvl 10) This ability replacesTwin Wells, but functions in a similar manner.Instead, the MM may increase both his spellcastinglevels and manifester levels by an amount equal tothis MM levels. Further, when using any psi-spellability (ie. with psi-spell feats), he adds both thekey ability modifier for his psionic powers and arcanespells togetehr for all effects based off the keyability modifier (such as Save DC, etc.).[/sblock]Heck, throw in Psiotheurgist from Dragon #349, and even Bloodlines for more craziness.</blockquote>
