Human - UD subrace WIZARD build?

Unread post by Babuguuscooties »

So I was playing around with the character creation when I realized there is a human subrace for the UD.

I was wondering if there are any cool Wiz/Thaum builds you guys could give me? I can start at level 7 (assuming they don't have an ECL).

Or, do you recommend some other wiz build for this subrace? I noticed they get skill focus hide, but also a -2 DEX. Seems kind of pointless lol.

Deep Imaskari, +2 Int, -2 Dex, Skill Focus (Hide), and Extra Spell Slot. (Favored Class Wizard.)

How about a Wizard 10/Dragon Slayer 7/Thaumathurge 5/Eldritch Knight 8?

It would acquire caster level of 30, and have BAB of 22. You can go for Combat Insight and max intelligence. Wear Fullplate and Tower Shield and get that Automatic: Still Spell III. You are a tank, your summons are tanks, and you can tank things out, while being able to toss some high DC conjuration spells.... Um, Arc of Lighting, level 5? It would be little different approach than your harper mage, but not that different.

Edit most of the buffs you use on your summons, you could also use on yourself. Hence, it all works well against dispells. If you are interested, I can put up a build. Or we can wait for more suggestions.

High int race calls for DC wizard.

Conjuration for wizards work best (in my opinion) when you also have ASoC, because of how good orbs are and the fact that the level 4 orbs have cool extra effects. There aren't that many other useful conjuration DC spells (some clouds...).

So I would suggest something like wizard11/asoc10/thaumaturge5/archmage4.

Straight up wizard21/thaumaturge5/archmage4 works too, but then I'd definitely get greater focus in both conjuration and necromancy or illusion (just so you actually have some save vs lose spells to use).

Really any thaumaturge build that works on other +2 int races will probably work here too.

thanks guys. Throw up the build if you want, SW. I'd appreciate it. Anytime you guys do that I take care to really look over the build and try and grasp what it is what makes it work.
