How do you know you’re not 10 feet from a wall if you are blind? If you can’t see a “point” I don’t know how you aim to the point. How do you “point your finger to a point you choose within range” if you can’t see that point? You point towards it and specify a distance.
One advantage of this over even Master of Shaping is that it lets you cast a fireball at grappling creatures and harm only your enemy.Can I cast a fireball while blinded? Yes. If you are willing to employ feats from the rulebook Shining South, the Selective Spell feat allows for one creature to be excluded from the effects of an area spell. Just be sure you know ahead of time which type of energy you will be employing. You can cast this on a few allies, in order to be able to cast area spells while they are brawling with enemies without much trouble. It can absorb 12 points of damage per level from, say, fire: equivalent to the maximum damage from two fireballs. The spell protection from energy is 3rd level for sorcerers or wizards. Give your allies immunity, protection, or resistance In order to take a level in archmage, a character must be able to cast 7th-level spells, among numerous other prerequisites, so this is not for all players, or low-level games. In addition, any shapeable spells have a minimum dimension of 5 feet, basically meaning that a character can cast a fireball that fills only an enemy's space. Indeed, this works quite well in combination with Sculpt Spell. Thus you can exclude as many allies as you want, and include as many enemies as you want. In any case, among these is Mastery of Shaping, which in exchange for one 6th-level spell slot will allow the archmage to designate 5 foot cubes that are exempt from the effects of an area spell. Spells per day increase as if the player had stuck to their previous arcane spellcasting class, and the class can choose from various potent abilities. In my estimation, there is not much reason for a character who meets the prerequisites not to multiclass as an archmage. (The linked guide is for Pathfinder but websearch can find you similar guides for 3.5e.)ĭan B already mentioned the Sculpt Spell metamagic feat, so I won't talk about it.
The treantmonk wizard guide has more on this philosophy. Monster hp and defenses scale up much faster than fireball damage, so your direct-damage spells will eventually look really inferior compared to other classes of spells. I don't have a ton of experience of high-level play, but it may be worth mentioning: many people believe that direct-damage spells such as fireball are not the best use of a wizard's time (in 3.5e and Pathfinder). The party got used to it - they'd be moving and I'd say "uh, maybe not that square?" and they'd go somewhere else instead. I once played a 4e wizard who relied heavily on area attacks. If someone forgets, give them a polite reminder: "I'm planning to throw a fireball in that area, are you sure you want to move there?" After the monsters move, say something like: "guys, I'm thinking I might throw a fireball at those four monsters, please don't move into that area". Make sure your allies understand when you've got a fireball ready. In one game, one of my players was a warmage who threw sculpted fireballs all the time, and it was very effective. The "four ten-foot cubes" option is particularly flexible. Do you have the Improved Initiative feat? If you take the first move in the combat, you can throw your fireball before your allies get mixed up with your enemies.įeats such as Sculpt Spell will let you reshape an area spell, giving you more control over what it hits.
