You dont have a 1st level feat listed.

Silver Crusade

They where there just moved them to make it easy to find.


With that much Con having toughness doesn't seem to mean all that much.

You might want to consider having more Dex so you can actually hit the touch ac's of critters without buffing as much.


Replace Illusion in your opposition schools with Divination. The only reason I wouldn't take Divination as an opposition school is Detect Magic spamming and you've already given up cantrips.

You can't take Spell Focus as a wizard bonus feat, just as the replacement for Scribe scroll. You should take Spell Focus (Conjuration) at first level, it has a much wider selection of spells with saves.

I suggest putting full ranks into Perception. Also drop K(History) in favor of Nature. Planes and Dungeoneering can generally lag behind.

Silver Crusade

For PFSP you have to take spell focus at level 1. Scribe Scroll is not allowed for PFSP.


do you need he throw anything feat? the thrown splash weapons page says you dont take the -4 to use the bombs

Silver Crusade

Neco thread.

I noticed this later after playing him. So I just retrained the feet for Additional Traits. So I could take the one that lets me cast Persistent Slow in a level 4 spell slot. Along with the one that lets me use Int in place of Cha for diplomacy.
