Another reason CLR17/WIZ1 is a nice splash

[firemedium_jt]

Well they took away Force Manipulation 1, but force is on the Cleric enhancements now.

One extra feat
Melee with Master's Touch feat for Martial Proficiency with in hand weapon
No lose of SP and SP incr for INT
WIZ UMD for things like the WIZWAR Staff for easy Greater Arcane Lore item

and


I just realized


Teleportation scrolls @25% for quick travel. 1in4 of successful use at 100 plat each is well worth the quick travel. Unless you are broke.

Or just make a human w/Least Passage DM to pick up DDoor & Teleport.

One extra feat


Yes. A feat is very nice. Though Cleric capstones are actually decent now, so it's a tough call someone could reasonably make either way.



Melee with Master's Touch feat for Martial Proficiency with in hand weapon


If it's a Martial 1-hander, Master's Touch scrolls can be purchased from the Portable Hole and used with UMD. Or if it's Exotic, Master's Touch doesn't help at all. You only need the Wiz splash if you want to use it for a Martial 2-hander.



WIZ UMD for things like the WIZWAR Staff for easy Greater Arcane Lore item


Not sure exactly what you're getting at with this one. What used to be Greater Arcane Lore is on a number of items, and is sub-par to new lootgen, let alone certain new named items.

I'd rather just UMD them at 100%. (Or even 30%!)

Beating that 25% on Teleport via UMD only takes...a 21 UMD score? With 11 ranks, +8 just from being level 28, and a Heroism potion, you're already there. Never mind that you can put on a Charisma item for a bunch more.

A feat is actually a good reason to splash Wiz if your build needs it. Failing a lot on Teleport scrolls is not a good reason.

Basically, everything SirValentine mentioned is dead-on.




One extra feat

Basically your advantage is this... and access to wizard enh. tree I'm assuming.




Melee with Master's Touch feat for Martial Proficiency with in hand weapon

Meh. UMD Scrolls all the way, unless you are THF.





WIZ UMD for things like the WIZWAR Staff for easy Greater Arcane Lore item

Err? My clr20 can UMD pretty much anything.

25% success rate is bad.. really bad. My clr20 has 100% success teleport scroll and near 100% greater teleport. I also carry a stack of GH, Tensers and Blur scrolls at 100% rate.

Hense the title. Anothrr reason.

As for the loot gen and the gear what are the latest named gear and loot gen items easy to get or hard to get for divines and melee?
