wizard? eeeew... dirty word.
Sorc or warmage work?

Funny how everyone had different opinions. I prefer true wizards over the other two. But yes, a sorc or warmage would both work for a blaster.

ABSOLUTELY!! (Those both can be the very definition of 'Blaster Mage" can't they? And that's why I didn't say 'wizard,' before but said simply 'mage,' meaning the broader sense of any arcane class).

 

[Rhun]

As long as they can make up for Bevin's lack of the old standards, they should do just fine!

Just giving you a hard time, Leif!

really? who'd-a-thunk it?

Actually, Rhun does make a very, very good point. I wanted my Bevin to steer clear of the usual "stand-by" spells, and that was a decision that I quickly came to regret.

 

[Jemal]

Not sure if you've access to it so I figured I'd give you the heads up and find out before I'm finished - I will likely be taking from Races of the Dragon and/or Dragon Magic if I'm playing a mid-lvl blaster sorc. If this isn't OK, or if you need more info from either of these books just say so. I'm also assuming that completes and PHB2 are OK, as I seem to recall players using them with you before.

 

[Jemal]

OK, been reading through some of my books and I have a question:

Would you allow a Spellwarp Sniper? (Complete Scoundrel)
It's a mage/rogue that specializes in ray attacks.

Alternately, Unseen Seer from Complete Mage.

 

[kinem]

Spellwarp Sniper is OK.

For the dragon stuff, let me know what it does, and I'll let you know if it's OK.

 

[Rhun]

Hey Jermal, also keep in mind that so far we haven't seemed to be in many battles where area of effect spells would have come in handy...not saying you shouldn't have a few, but it seems most fights so far have been in fairly tight quarters.

 

[Jemal]

hmm, considering my switch to spellwarp sniper, I likely won't be taking much of the dragon stuff.

Most likely Practical Metamagic (Reduce the level adjustment of a single metamagic feat by 1, to a minimum of 1) for Empower Spell.
