For some time I've been intrigued by the Bloatmage prestige class from City of Strangers. I know nothing of its viability, but the concept itself so strange and grotesque that I can't help but to like it. I don't know about using it myself as a character, but a campaign revolving around their kind sounds appealing.
Does anybody have any advice on how to build a Bloatmage? At first glance their downsides seem ridiculously prevalent, but I'm sure they can size up to be more than rolling tubs of... stuff.

Walking blood pustules. As far as "viability" goes, I don't see them being much worse off than any other number of PrC. I can see them being sub-par to weak in a game where you only have 1-2 combats per day, but past that they have great utility. I personally think they out better as prepared spellcasters as well.
