Wyvernhand, those are all excellent suggestions. I would very much appreciate some feat recommendations. The knowledge devotion/drarven ancestor tank combo, that I want for sure, but I have a fair amount of bonus feats. Also, if you have a prestige class to fill in for the archmage prerequisites (and avoiding exp penalty), that is also welcome. I'm curious to hear about this initiate of the seven fold veil dandu mentioned, and the master of shaping you mentioned. I've also heard some very nice things about Abjurant Champion. I should have access to the books of just about everything through a friend of mine, so dig deep if you have the time.

Oh Wyvernhand, how I wish I could give you XP.

I would like to narrow any potential search; When I say I want some blasting, I only mean to protect myself from whatever gets past the meat shields, and not a specialization in evocation. Conjuration is fine to specialize in, and I've given the initiative of the seven fold veil a very delightful read through. My main concern now is feats, and how to avoid exp penalties.

 

[xigbar]

Any suggestions?

 

[Dandu]

I'd prefer some direction before handing out feat recommendations, as there are a lot of them.

 

[xigbar]

Well, the one you already suggested is going in. The spell focus feat requirements for the initiate of the seven fold veil. That's three. Within the context of wizard/loremaster/divine oracle/initiate/archmage. I haven't decided the order I'm levelling them in, though, since I want to avoid exp penalties.

 

[Dandu]

You don't take XP penalties for prestige classing.

Ah, well that's a load off my mind. My DM (who is USUALLY more dnd knowledgable than I) said I did, and I was pretty sure he was wrong. Now that frees me up alot. I'll probably do wizard 5/ divine oracle 2/ loremaster 4/ initiate 7/ archmage to round it out, unless something else is recommended. I plan to specialize in conjuration, but have abj. feats for the initiate, as I said.

Also, the "playing god" page you sent me is my main referrence for pretty much every spell I'll be using, although I'm not sure which schools to prohibit.

Evocation and Enchantment are popular.
