Another thread asking Wizard build advice
Posted: Fri Aug 11, 2017 12:35 pm
Thinking of making a Tiefling wizard. Starting stats invested into having Int 20, Dex 16, and Con16. Starting feat will be Spellcasting Prodigy.
Where it gets tricky is in selecting the prestige classes I want...so far Blood Magus, Archmage, and Arcane Scholar all look great, but I obviously can't take ten levels in all three prestige classes; furthermore, meeting the feat requirements for all of them sounds downright impossible for a Tiefling that is starting with Spellcasting Prodigy (especially because IDEALLY, I'd like to take the craft feats for Magic Arms and Armor as well as Wondrous Items so I can make swag for lower level future characters I make). Which classes would you recommend I keep and/or drop? If I don't go the scholar route, which metamagic feats are indispensable to acquire for a Wizard? Lastly, does the Master Alchemist ability to increase the max spell level of brewed potions stack with the blood mage ability to brew potions inside your own body?
And yes, I know that blood mages are murdered on sight, but the act of hiding his dark powers and/or trying to convince others not to find it inherently evil all sounds like fun roleplay.
P.S. If anyone wants to RP taking my character on as an apprentice, that would a fun way to get introduced to the game.
