Give us some clues on Archmage!

[ZeroTakenaka]

I'm REALLY interested in Archmage so can we get some ideas of what it's like? Hopefully we can get some Bard prestige info too.

[Memnir]

Please?

[ZeroTakenaka]

Please?

I'll add a pretty please.

Archmage is set up in many ways like the Arcane Archer line - five tiers of fairly vanilla base enhancements that set you up for an array of sub-enhancements. (Action Point Cost structure: 4/1/1/1/1, just like Arcane Archer.)

The first tier's prerequisites are:

Wizard Archmage I
Prereqs: Level 6 Wizard, Wizard Intelligence I, Improved Concentration II, Wizard Energy of the Scholar II, Mental Toughness, and any Spell Focus

I has cake and bacon.

[bradleyforrest]

Please?

With a cherry on top?

I'm guessing Archmage II, or III has any greater spell focus?

Of course, only Archmage I and Archmage II is getting released in Update 7.

Can we get a glimpse at those sub-enhancements, good sir? Just one or two, is all we ask.

I mean... look, the Frog is begging ya for em. Don't let the Frog down, it takes a lot for an amphibian to debase themselves like that.

Nice... requirements are good enough. Now we just need to know what the spells are he can cast as spell like ability.

All five ranks of Archmage are in Update 7.

Here's my favorite one, which is, admittedly, probably the weakest of the lot:

Conjuration I - Grease
Prereqs: Level 6 Wizard, Wizard Archmage I, Spell Focus: Conjuration
Benefit: You have committed the spell Grease permanently to memory as a spell-like ability. Using this ability costs you 1 spell point. Purchasing this enhancement will reduce your maximum spell point total by 25.

Oh yeah. Grease for everybody.

[Memnir]

Oh yeah. Grease for everybody.

Well, Grease is a party buff, after all?

Since that specifies Conjuration as a requirement, would it be safe to assume that every spell focus has it's own associated spell per-tier?
And - can an Archmage take more then one focus and qualify for more permanent spells per tier?

Sorc Past Life can always replace Mental Toughness, right?

But I thought someone from PAX said that only the first two tiers of Archmage were gonna be in Update 7... awesome anyways

Oh yeah. Grease for everybody. Not only that. Grease is a party buff.

Hehe i think he is torturing us on purpose :|

But good idea with the Sp reduction btw.

[sirgog]

Bahahahaha... Grease-specced wizards rejoice - and Velah, count your lucky stars that the Kundarak mercenaries sent to slay you included a chaotic neutral grease archmage.

It's not even out and i'm already asking to be changed!

Could the spell focus requirement be also covered with the wizard past life feat (not the granted one)?

Thank you!
