For those who have followed earlier discussions, I've finally settled on a build, but I would like to have some insight on how to smooth it out.
(for reference of my current character see this thread: http://www.enworld.org/forum/d-d-legacy-discussion/300205-looking-evil-arcane-tiamat-prc.html)
My current build is:
1. Wiz1 DragonWrought
2. Wiz2
3. Wiz3 DragonWings
4. Wiz4
5. Wiz5 DraconicReservoir,ExtendSpell
6. Sor1 (Greater Draconic Right of Passage: Sor2)
7. Ultimate Magus 1 (Wiz5 CL6/Sor3 CL4)
8. UM2 (Wiz6 CL7/Sor4 CL5)
9. UM3 (Wiz7 CL8/Sor5 CL6) Improved Dragon Wings
10. UM4 (Wiz7 CL9/Sor6 CL8)
11. UM5 (Wiz8 CL10/Sor7 CL9) CorruptSpell
12. UM6 (Wiz9 CL11/Sor8 CL10)
I have settled on taking levels in the Escalation Mage (from Faiths of Eberron) and Nightmare Spinner (from Complete Mage)
Depending on the leniency of my dm to re-assign some skillpoints from the previous levels, I will take them in one of the following orders:
lenient: (meaning I can re-assign skillpoints making it possible to get required ranks for NS using escalation mage)
13. Escalation Mage 1
14. Nightmare Spinner1
not-so-lenient:
13. EM1
14. EM2
15. NS1
After that, I'm at a loss.
I would like to get the Shadow Empower from the Escalation Mage 3(higher abilities less interesting, except for the capstone free extra uses and the 1 use per day extra per level)
I would also like to get the Spirit Chill from the Nightmare Spinner 3 (empty 4th lvl less interesting, but the capstone Deadly Nightmare might be nice)
Last but not least, I could also move back to Ultimate Magus, gaining several additional casting levels and another boost in caster level.
Also, I'm not sure what feats to take at 12, 15 and 18.
What would be an optimal progression?
(Please note I'm not interested in other prestige class options right now. I'm too relieved I managed to settle on these two....)
