if u play a mage right u dont need dcs. u need skill. Did anyone else find this line as amusing as I did? Token-based abilities don't really fit with the Pure Mage theme. The Idea of the token on other purists is to make that class able to apply its class abilities better. IE, A fighter with Warlor...

I'm talking about a purist bonus only, not BASE mages. 'Token-abilities' don't really fit the Wizard schema as they aren't likely to supplement what the wizard is supposed to do. Thinking man's class? I've got 5 spells worth casting, I don't have to think about that much. These 5 spells are all effe...

A pure fighter's will save is going to be around 26 to 30 if they reset their rings/hat and possible 35 if they cross-class spellcraft (and have a spellcraft boosting hat, which isn't impractical vs a wiz). That's their weak save. Without GSF or GI (the fighter doesn't take will save boosting feats)...

If you're running a pure caster, everything should be useful. It ultimately doesn't matter what variety of spells a caster has in his arsenal, what matters is how effectively he'll be able to use them. Think about the opportunity cost, if you're using fear then you're not using something else. The p...

Re: Purist Wizard/Sorceror Ideas
You may not feel that Wizards need a boost, but a pure wizard is pretty much useless in PvP save for 3 spells that will not be comparable in damage output to anything. Additionally in PvM, an Epic wizard performs ultra poorly. The only thing of marginal use after buffing is Tensor's, which isn't eve...

Purist Wizard/Sorceror Ideas
The pure caster is one of the most difficult things to balance since so much of their character's effectivity is dependent upon spell selection. What kind of benefits should befall a pure caster? They don't need stronger IGMs or Bigbys, what they need are more options and useful lower level spells- ...
