Well now that we got all the physical combat out of the way, it’s time to get to my favorite part.  The spellcasters…

System: DnD 3.5
Class: Warmage + Wizard + Ultimate Magus
Level of Build: 10
Books Required: Player’s Handbook , Complete Arcane and Complete Mage
Build Requirement:  Alternate Class Features: Focused Specialist and Energy Affinity
Example Character Sheet: Rowen of Lighting

Rowen was recruited into the party for his spells… and he has a lot of them.  Utilizing training as both a Warmage and a Wizard, he is able to continuously throw out spells.  Specializing in lasting effects that continue to rampage among the enemies even after the initial casting.  For the extreme times, he will channel storms through his spells to stun and harm his foes.

Armed with the best tools at hand, he has garnered the capabilities of both spontaneous and prepared casting.  Speeding up or extending the spells at hand in order to fill the battlefield with balls of electricity.  Though he has low health and armor, the Deathgaurdian Bracers is a big asset.  Just sacrifice one of the many spells he has to gain damage reduction.
