Quick question

[Kreaper]

I am planning a WF Ranger build with a splash of Wizzie. I am wondering if Extend will work with the Ranger buffs. Will it make them last longer since they are not Wizzie spells?

But, keep in mind that Extending low level spells saves little mana (but does save you from recasting). L1: 10 SP normal, 20 SP extended, 20 SP cast twice. L2: 15 SP, 25 extended, 30 cast twice.

But, there's not really any reason to take any other metamagic feat on a Ranger (other than Empower or Maximize for Cures of you're a healing Ranger), so Extend away!

Yeah, I didn't really get too many choices. lol I was thinking mostly about longer lasting buffs so I don't have to recast much. I just hit 5.2 today. Rgr3/ Ftr1/ Wiz1. I will take one more level of Ftr later on I think but the rest will be Rgr. I wanted to be just a little different. So far it is every bit the character as all the rest of my line up! I think it will be a ton of fun leveling the rest of the way.

I've been debating taking 1lvl of Wiz or Sor with a WF Rgr.....but I think I would gain little and lose a lot by doing so. I can still heal myself with cure wands, it's just less efficent....and even though I want to use flamearrow wands real bad i can't justify it for that reason alone.
The only first lvl wiz spell of any worth is shield....but a 1 minute shield is not very good. Detect secret doors is convienant but hardly worth it.....al the other spells would be next to useless without a high Int or Cha.

Probably better to just spend point in UMD.

I am considering an elf Rgr9/Wiz5 though.....just don't know what lvls to take the Wiz lvls at without gimping myself along the way.

I have a WF 13 Ranger/1 Wiz and it works pretty well for me. It's nice to be able to use the various wands like fireball, lightning, etc. Extend is okay but it's not enough of a reason to be the only reason to go 1 level wiz.
