[QUOTE="Mark Plemmons, post: 3199254, member: 1287"] The spellsinger from the [url=http://www.kenzerco.com/product_info.php?products_id=368]Player's Guide to the Sovereign Lands[/url] PDF might be a good way for you to try an armored arcane spellcaster with a bardic flavor, rather than the standard wizard or spellcaster. Of course, your martial skills are not as strong as those of a fighter’s. Some notes: Spellsingers cast spells through their songs. These songs are popular verses in elven culture, although only those with the talent for sorcery are able to use them to cause magical effects. According to ancient elven tradition, the spellsingers were the first arcane spellcasters on Tellene. Accordingly, they take great pride in their skills. Ample evidence exists for sorcery being hereditary, at least among elves, for many spellsingers point out that their ancestors also had the talent. A spellsinger casts a mixture of arcane and divine spells from the Spellsinger Spell List. Much like a sorcerer, she need not prepare his spells in advance, but she can cast any spell she knows at any time, assuming she has not yet used up his spells per day for that level. The spellsinger cannot choose to “erase” a spell from her currently known spells in order to learn a new one, as the sorcerer does. Once a spellsinger gets a song in her head, she does not forget it. The spellsinger may not take the Silent Spell feat (PHB). Unlike spells per day, the number of spells a spellsinger knows is not affected by her Charisma score; the numbers are fixed. In the event that a spellslinger could cast a spell of a level in which she knows no spells, she can use that spot to cast a spell of a lower level. Spellsingers are proficient with all simple weapons. They are not proficient with any type of armor or shield. Starting at 1st level, the spellsinger does not need somatic components or common material components to cast a spell. As such, a spellsinger can cast a spell even when holding a weapon and wearing armor. All spellsinger spells, however, require a verbal component with a minimum casting time of 1 full-round action, in addition to any exceptional material components (those that have a listed gold piece or experience point value). Spellsingers may sing spells whose casting does not normally require a verbal component. [/QUOTE]
