[QUOTE="hackmastergeneral, post: 3035135, member: 27925"] As was I, for a LONG time. It worked out well. Persistant Blade is a good option. I also took 2 levels in Fighter, to get Precise Shot, so I could target ranged touches into combat and not get dinged on the hit penalty. Combine this with Point Blank, WF(Ranged Touch) and Ranged Touch Specialization, and War Mage Edge and you have some potent bonuses to pile on top of those Orbs. May I suggest looking at Firey Argent Savant as a PrC, coupled with Firey Spell Feat from Sandstorm? FAS is an option suggested in the AS description. Many of the WM's spells are Fire based. FAS would, at 1st level, give you +1 to each die of damage for Fire spells. Firey Spell does the same thing, but they are seperate abilities, do not have the same descriptor, and the feat adds +1 to spell level. Thus, you rock +2 to each die of damage, plus your WMedge and any other feats you have. Its a potent combo. I get my first level of FAS the next time I level, and I'm drooling. FAS also gives some good Fire based bonuses as well. You lose a Caster Level, which when combined with my Fighter levels, means I lose 9th level spells, but they are kinda underwhelming, and I can pick up Sudden Maximize with my final Feat selection. And when we did pick up a Wizard, he was a hippie peacenik Divination specialist - so he still wasn't rocking any damage spells most of the time. My pyromaniac Warmage still has his use, and is one of the cornerstone members of the party. Frees the other wizard up from mem'ing tons of damage spells, and allows him to be more generally useful outside of combat. [/QUOTE]
