[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 4863411, member: 35909"] Heh, missed the part about armor and spontaneous casting. You can use the [url=http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/classes/variantCharacterClasses.htm#sorcererVariantBattleSorcerer]Battle Sorcerer[/url] variant easy enough. C. Mage has a fighter alternate class feature to be able to cast spells up to Fighter level +1 in armor, but requires..being a fighter. You're already dual casting, not much of an option. I always liked the idea of Cleric/Warmage (C.Arcane) since one side covers utility so well and the other gives so much blasting versatility. Also means you can cast in limited amounts of armor. I guess you could do Favored Soul/Warmage just as well. You'd want high charisma and wisdom either way. Int is nice for skill points and warmage edge, but not required to be high. Con just needs to be decent, same for dex. Str just enough to move in your armor. I don't see the big deal about armor, though. You can get by just fine with (greater) mage armor. Or get twilight (+1 from book of exalted deeds, PH2, and other places) and mithral armor, which combined cuts ASF by 20%, enough for chainshirt and most shields. And if you got over the prepared caster thing and went druid, and didn't go with Arcane Heirophant, you could go unarmored and put that high wis casting stat to more use with [url=http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/classes/variantCharacterClasses.htm#druid]this druid variant[/url].
