You don't get general feats at 5 and 10. He can't take both.

[afreshstart]

Well I decided to drop till spell feats since it's possible to use padded armor for 0% arcane spell failure. And I changed around the feats a bit, although I'm not sure about the blind fight coming in so late. I think the feats should be in order, the only choice is between extend spell and greater spell focus, and I don't expect this to be a great build, just a fun one. I'm aware it's a massively vulnerable to dispels.

This should be updated- it doesn't mention the loss of feats.

Level 5- This is not an either/or thing. At 5th wizard level you gain a bonus metamagic feat. Take both.

They mean you can't take two feats at five.

afreshstart: you can use greensteel with no spell failure on a spellsword.

Oh, that's great! Then maybe it's best to drop maximize magic for another abjuration feat.

Or just stick with padded armor - the armor of immolation is pretty amazing, though difficult to get.

I don't think it's that good for a spellsword since they have access to mestils and (epic) mage armour.

It's decent for the armor's AC itself (non-overwriteable by spells) and +5 discipline, if not for the actual other properties. Although free elemental shield is pretty good.

Oh I forget about it's +5 discipline, that makes it a great one. Still, I don't think maximize spell is better than an abjuration feat, it can be replicated using many consumables.

Yeah, you could just scribe up some high level scrolls.

[Freyason]

Where are you guys getting that SS lose bonus wizard feats? None of the builds I saw reflect that

*edit "none" not "one" lol

[Baron Saturday]

They DON'T lose the bonus feats. Aelryn was suggesting that the build should take both the feats listed at levels 5 and 10, which is impossible because a wizard only gets a bonus feat at those levels, not a bonus feat + a general feat.

Confusion ensued on both sides.

[afreshstart]

Wizards get bonus feats at class level 5 10 15 20, which can be only Arcane focus/defense, spell fcous , craft wand/potion or metamagic

Yes.

Aaaaaanyway. I would only increase int to 19 and dump the other 6 into Str. Probably want to put the one point into int at 12 or 16. I'd also probably go for extend spell over arcane defense, since you already resist dispels as a level 26 with this build.

Is the bonus damage from int multiplied on a crit?

To be honest I'm not sure if it's multiplied, and you are right about the extend spell feat, I'll update the build. Is there any benefit to having 19 intellect over 18?

It is.

[Ebonstar]

might be fun to play but hope you never go against anything that can hit for more than 100 points of damage since you will max out at level 30 with 150 or so.
One crit and he will be sliced ham.

With spellsword hp and +12 to con it should? Hit 418. Not exactly conlock or barb hp but not completely unworkable.

d6 for 23 levels is 138 d10 for 7 is 70 con bonus of 1 for a 13 is 30 at max thats 218 not 418

[One Two Three Five]
