Tr

[Ploks]

About to TR into a FvS and would like to know what gear I should farm for leveling.

[Enoach]

I like the

• Abashi set, good level 5+ gear
• a set of armor with Invulnerability on it DR 5/Magic is great at low levels (pre 10)
• Ring of Feather Falling is a nice to have - no Minimum Level, cloak of feathers end reward can work in a pinch for 99% of low level stuff otherwise.
• Underwater Action Item (Low ML so you can use it during WW)
• Eternal wand of cure minor wounds (Catacombs) <- good for topping off, saving In-CAP party members
• Your Greensteel/weave Items - Get items at Level 11 and Weapons at 12
• Dragontouch Armor - Don't need to go for perfect this life as you will be coming back, but try to get something that will enhance your level 16 experience.
• Phiarlan Mirror Cloak - SR 17 at level 3 is great defense from casters.

I'm sure there are others, I was also keeping my list to stuff you could reasonably get and avoiding the ultra rare.

[Ploks]

I would also like to know what I need to get the DC of my blade barrier to.

I would also like to know what I need to get the DC of my blade barrier to.

Depends on the build your using...

A 30 DC blade barrier might as well be a DC 16 blade barrier at end game. They're both very powerful.


If your going for DCs, make sure they're at 34+ or you'll find that monsters will save against them a lot.

Wisdom=18base+5lvls+2tome+6item+3exeptional+2enh=3 6


10Base+9spell+2item(Craftable)+13wisdom=34+1(litan y+human wis enh)+2Spell focus feat+1(+4 tome)+Past lifes(?)= Potentially over 40.

Might have helped if I would have specified a little bit.
I am TRing into an evoker from a wizard.

[CrankVulcan]

I am TRing into an evoker from a wizard.

Awesome Past life for FvS in my opinion.
Have you chosen a race?

I highly suggest Human/Helf for an evoker.

Not sure about your feat choices but I'll throw out a suggestion.

1 Toughness
2 Maximize
3 Empower
4 Heighten
5 Quicken
6 Wiz PL
7 Spell Focus: Evocation///Spell penetration(Depending on your choice of spells)

8(if human) Shield Mastery///Greater spell focus:Evocation///Extend



Reworked DCs-

10base+9spell+14wisdom+wizPL+2item=36

[Ploks]

More than likely going human and taking both spell focus evocation feats. Still taking suggestions on gear for leveling so it will be as quick and easy as possible.

[CrankVulcan]

More than likely going human and taking both spell focus evocation feats.

A 38 DC blade barrier is nothing to mess with.

How does this look?

[Asmodeus451]

Blue Dragonscale Armor.

or if on a budget/dont wanna farm, the Elfcrafted Armors are the poor mans version

[Matuse]

How does this look?

I'd drop Cha to 11 or 12 and put those points into strength.

[Ploks]

I'd drop Cha to 11 or 12 and put those points into strength.

Could you explain why?

[Theolin]

I prefer heighten earlier ... sound burst & command

[Matuse]

Could you explain why?

Two things are very easy in this game:
1) Getting enough charisma to cast your level 9 spells with a comfortable cushion in case of Cha drain. 12 + 6 item + 2 Capstone = 20. Poof. Done. Put exceptional Cha, Airships, and class enhancements on top of that if you like.

2) Getting Str drained. With a base of 8 in a casting oriented build, you're only likely to hit 14. That MAY (may...) put you into the threshold of being immune to being made helpless due to 0 strength, it will for sure get you heavily encumbered...a lot. Yes, you can cure it, but that is time and resources that needn't be spent. Also the road to wearing that +6 item will be unpleasant, since stuff will str drain you earlier, and you won't have the strength to withstand it.

Difference between 12 and 14 starting charisma = 29 spell points at level 20. Out of a pool of ~2800 (that's 1%)
Difference between 8 and 10 strength = Enourmous quality of life improvement.
