Improving Warmage into Silver Pyromancer?
« on: November 28, 2018, 02:47:30 AM »
I saw warmage listed as an example entry into Silver Pyromancer and I was intrigued. The class is actually quite good for them, adding all paladin spells to their list and letting them bypass fire immunity.

Qualifications are easy except Turn Undead. That requires Cleric dip or Sacred Exorcist. To enter SE as a Warmage one needs to add Dispel Evil or Banishment to enter, which as far as I know requires a Bloodline from Dragon Compendium (Axiomatic or Celestial works. Axiomatic gives better spells and seems the clear winner.) and the Educated feat. It also makes entry way later than normal, but retraining gets around that.

Any ways of improving on this? Better way to get the needed spell on list? Any really good Paladin spells?

You cannot add these spells to the warmage spell list, or to the list of another similar class that can freely access all spells on its class spell list.

Would seem to make gaining entry as a warmage less attractive...
Smile beautiful. It's not as bad as you think.

Aw, missed that. And here I thought WotC had actually made a decent prestige class for Warmage.

There are still some good choices for expanding the spell list of a Warmage, such as Prestige Bard, Sandshaper or Rainbow Servant.

Yeah, but everyone knows those.

Well at least that exclusion makes it 100% clear Rainbow Servant works, if there was any doubt.

Sort of moot at the moment, but if you can use Dragon Compendium, a Warmage can get Turn Undead for the cost of 2 feats:  Necromantic Bloodline and Kin Mastery.
