I'd make Cha 12 instead of Str 10 if you're taking UMD. Also, take Quicken instead of Enlarge. It's FAR more useful.

Yep, quicken is useful too. Going 8 str to raise umd does have its drawbacks, but it works as well.

Amazingly this build has the same enchantment DC as a WF AM while in Lich form.

Wear a +str item and you'll be fine. The only reason to worry about it is getting knocked to 0 str, but that's not going to happen often and it really won't happen at all with a +str item and while in lich form.

better if you chug yugo pots.

Quicken is pretty mandatory for end-game casters of all varieties.

[Kellendros]

Thanks alot for the build! Is his drow palemaster build competitive with warofged archmage? I really dont feel like playing a fat robot =P

Also what would be the best enhancements to use with this build? Lich form +fire/cold related ones or?

drow is actually a horrible race for palemasters.

when you are the only one who can heal yourself, a penalty to your survivability is something you really, really want to avoid.

human or half-elf is the way to go if you want a racial bonus to int.
(human gets you another feat and ~40 more HP; half-elf will give even more HP with barb dilly come U8(70 more than drow!))

of coarse, you can stay drow if you really, really insist. but you'd be overrating 1 int.

Roll a WF wizard. Level it up to lev 20. TR into WF wizard. Level it up to lev 20. TR into drow with 16con, 20 int. Get rid off spell pen feats, get insightful reflexes and past life:wizard. Get max DC on necro, almost max on ench, loose 80hp comparing to WF (ouch, that part is painful), but gain quite alot of AP (14 comparing to max hp WF). Have fun

PS. Dont drop spell pen feats if you are not a TR wizard

Horrible?? Don't listen to this jibberishh

Drow make the best casters period. Casters rely on dc and drow will give you the best dcs. As far as hp/con goes it is easy to get 350+ hp at cap. My drow has that at level 18. I think that is plenty for a caster, obviously the more the better but at what cost? Dcs ? No thanks.

Do drow retain their sr in lich form (since it'll actually be decent with update 8), or is it lost like wf immunities?

Yes

Next question..

With the super delicious update to Drow well be getting about 30 natural SR right?
So will my +6 con +14 SR belt stack with that? Will I have +44 SR? Cause that would be sick nasty awesome! I might even use my +22 SR rune for DT.

Anyone know if SR will stack with SR items?

[frznvimes]

sr does not stack, only the highest value applies.
