Trapsmith WF BattleCaster

[Impaqt]

Dunno how much time I'll put into this guy right away, but I think the concept is Solid...
I've seen a Lot of WF Battle Arcanes.... Builds here and In-Play, but I havent seen one that Combines all the skillsets this one has effectively. Expensive for sure..... A Lot of Grinding of the Shroud will be required.... But Overall, I think it could be a very fun build.

Lol, I think deap down I must dislike fighters. When I see all builds like this I instantly go to the 'get rid of the fighter levels.' Could ya go 13/3 and take improved crit at level 15 instead of 13, getting rid of say.......stealty and improved mental toughness as the two lost feats? Lose 1 str, so a 30 str with +1 tome till a +3 gets ya back to 32. Would require you to use a level one spell slot mostly for masters touch for the big weapon I would think your wanting to swing. Would lose 17 hp's (If hp are big, the could also drop mental toughness keeping the mana bar about the same thanks to the two extra caster levels and pick up a second toughness feat to wash the hps.) Would gain eventual level 9 spell capability at 17/3.........plus other caster goodies.

[Impaqt]

I'll most likely throw another rogue level in this build to top off skills before level 20. Masters touch is nice.. But can be dispelled.

Level 8 spells were incredibly unexciting.... I'm not holding my breath for level 9 spells.... and I'm also not focusing on any spells that have SR or DC's.. Just Buffs, rays, Firewall, and Clouds/Fogs.

what are you going to start your stats at? what will they reach at lvl 16? what will your ac be? If you can't get hit it helps w/ melee especialy if you are gonna use something that prevents you from casting spells (madstone/tensers)
