Im toying with the idea of a melee wizard with decent spell DCs.
5 rogue for full staffy abilities, evasion, great trapskills (as int-based build) and no mercy
Harper for int to damage and know the angles, int to reflex as feat
15 wiz for self-heals, utility, and cc
probably going warforged with mithral body, although wraith pale master is worth considering. Destiny should be draconic with sense weakness twisted. Jump into the fray, use dancing balls/mass hold person, and do enormous damage vs helpless.
So, should I go Pale Master or just recon? Drop 2 more wiz levels for 2 monk levels?
