I have a question for you master builders out there. I am playing on a RP PW out there, I have a 1/2 Orc Fighter Double Bladed Sword user. I'm grooming him for dev crit. I plan on being fighter all the way to 20 so that I max out my BAB. From there I plan on becoming a Palemaster to get that crit immunity. Here are my questions:

Which arcane spellcaster class would you suggest and why?

Do I need 3 levels in that class or will one be enough to then switch to Palemaster?

If I take Palemaster up to lvl 15/16 can a 1/2 Orc with 6 Int and 6 Cha even cast an Epic spell?

===

My arcane stats:

Assume 6 Inteligence and 6 Charisma (might be 8, can't remember offhand).

At level 14 I currently have 23 str. Focusing on getting 25 str for the dev crit. Feat selection is currently geared for dev crit needs, plus the typical fighter stuff for a dual weapon fighter (using 2 bladed sword), with knockdown. Keeping in mind my low Int, I can't take expertise and many other feats that need 13+ Int.

Thanks all!

Any if you are over level 3. Bard however will allow you to get your tumble skill up for higher AC.

3 Levels are needed.

No idea, you wont be able to cast standard spells thought.

Yep. PM lvl15 can cast epic regardless of this. Your save for the knockdown will be bad though. Fighter 20/Bard 4/PM 16

I'd suggest you take Fighter 17/Bard 3 Pre-epic though to save some Fighter feats for epic levels - you will lose 1 ab but I think it's worth it.

On the other hand I'm not really sure if getting the Epic Spells are worth it maybe Fighter 26/Bard 4/PM 10 would be better and you gain one more feat that way. If I take Wiz, then I can use any wand. If I take Bard, then I have to spend points in UMD to be able to use a wand. There are wands of StoneSkin on this server. I'm also thinking that I can get someone to make a Flame Weapon wand. Or many other buff wands.


If I take wiz, then I can't buff tumble up for an extra 1 in ac. Remember that I have LOW Int and only get 1 skill point per level, and most of that is being dumped into diciplin.

Can Epic spells be cast in armor without the Still Spell Feat?

Epic Spells are not affected by armor, so yes.
