Masters of the Arcane

[Walking Dad]

If you want spontanous casting with a bigger spell known list:

- the Warmage (Comp Arcane)

- Sandstorm prestige class (I think sand shaper or something...)

- I think the favoured soul (comp divine) gets more spells known than a wizard.

- Spirit Shaman (comp divine) uses the druid spell list. "Known spells" are changed each day.

WD - Aye, Greater Dispel does it but if you note, he specifically said 'with a normal dispel', hence my curiosity.

Kerlan - Do any of those state they can break the cap on Dispel? B/c The spell specifically stats it has a max of +10.

 

[KerlanRayne]

Your caster level is capped at +10. These add to the dispel check so it's not limited by the cap.

Ah whatever. I can't remake my whole damn character. If the character I want to play really is unplayable I might as well just not play at all.

Sorry to hear that Die Lemming, its a shame but Beguler's simply aren't that useful at levels this high a level.

Hey, Lemming, I have some crappy spells on my spell list, too.

Greater harm is worse than harm.
Binding spells, but no magic cycle.
No Greater dispel magic.
No transportation spells.

Play him like you want and have fun. It's a game, no competition.

BTW: Nobody likes my lich ( )

 

[Dire Lemming]

I know it's a game, but I don't know how to play. I've never played a high level spell caster before. Playing a wizard or something would just make things even more confusing.

WD - It's Nothing personal.. at least on my part *L* If it makes you feel any better, I'd have the same feelings towards Dire Lemming's beguiler.. The Elzmyr line of sorcerors despises Enchantment and Necromancy

As for Greater Harm, it may have a worse average damage, but don't forget it's saving grace : You can metamagic it. (Empowered 20d12 = nice damage)

Dire Lemming - I'm not going to try to convince you to do something if you really don't want to, but I will give it one shot and just say that there's only one good way (IMO) to learn high level mage play, and that's by playing it.

Dire Lemming: Sorry to lose you, if you get the urge to try something else I can leave a slot open for you if you want.

Vincent: I want you to get a finished character in the Rogues Gallery and a post in the IC thread ASAP so I can progress the game.
