    Default The ultimate caster based wizard?

    This is a project build I was thinking of doing it starts with my first life as a Cleric this allows me to gain gear and money better for tr'ing which will give me a +1 bonus conjuration focus. My 2nd life after gaining enough favour will be a Favoured Soul who will be TR'ed for +1 spell pen. The 3rd life will be as a sorc for +1 evocation focus, lives 4 5 and 6 will be wizard for +2 spell pen checks.

    Character base
    Human
    8 str
    8 dex
    18 con
    18 int
    8 wis
    14 cha
    Why human ?
    What I'm aiming for is a caster with high dc's and spell pen checks to work in epics. I play a buffer controller style of wizard.
    Humans gain +1 feat & 2nd highest intelligence score with a better con stat than a Drow which makes for more hp.
    I have been WF their a great race to build a wizard off once you get reconstruct your practically bullet proof but even after I speced for palemaster I still found them lacking in landing spells. Why not drow ? I want to fit sf and gsf enchantment and necromancy and you can't do that on Drow

    Feats
    1
    Mental toughness
    Spell focus enchantment
    Extend spell
    3
    Spell focus necromancy
    5
    Maximise
    6
    Greater spell focus enchantment
    9
    Arcane Intiate
    10
    Empower spell
    12
    Spell penetration
    15
    Greater spell penetration
    Heighten spell
    18
    Toughness
    20
    Improved mental toughness

    Skill points go into umd, concentration
    Enhancements follow the standard route and lead towards archmage 4

    You're focusing on necro + enchantment so I can't see the sorc past life helping you that much.

    Are there any arcane spells which benefit from a +1 to conjuration dc? If not, skip the cleric. Why waste the time on the +1 spell pen from FvS when you get +2 for each wizard life?

    You didn't take the wizard purchasable past life feat for +1 dc.

    If you want a good enchanter, do 3 x bard lives then wizard then wizard again. That'll give you +4 enchantment DC, then another +4 from archmage and feats.

    Worth the grinding though? Not likely.

    trap the soul, web, niac's, acid blast, and glitter dust are probably the only ones anybody might care about. Probably not worth it.

    I don't see why you would want to waste all this time on Tr's only to get some DC and Spell Pen. I can understand 2 or 3 past lifes, but after that, really, who needs more than 44 DC on their spells ?

    6 past lives, the first 3 of which are not even your intended class?

    This is not a build, this is a life sentence.
