[QUOTE="MADDGOAT, post: 5157672, member: 89584"] Not sure if this is the right place for this, but I had a few questions about updating several classes to pathfinder for a magic missile-based build (listed below). 1) If I take Snowcasting + Eschew Materials do the benefits of Snowcasting apply without actually needing the additional material component(s) and having to use a move action? [I'd like to focus mainly on force spells with a minor focus on cold spells; snowcasting + eschew materials potentially gives all spells the cold descriptor (for free), combined with draconic sorcerer class feature equals bonus damage on all spells that express damage in dice] 2) Do the penalties (-1 spell known of highest level)/bonuses (+2hp/level) from the Stalwart Sorcerer alt class feature carry over to prestige classes (ie: anytime a class grants +1 level spells per day/spells known)? [Needed Stalwart Sorcerer for the Martial Weapon Proficiency to get into Abjurant Champion] 3) Do the Argent Savant’s “Extend Force” and the Abjurant Champions’ “Extend Abjuration” stack if a spell is both an abjuration and a force spell (ie: shield), and would that be 4x, or 3x (like with critical modifiers)? [I'd like spells like shield to last as long as possible, so I wouldn't have to cast them as often] I'd appreciate any help you could give. Thanks!
