![]() ![]() However, the Mailman had a weakness in that Force damage, while hard to resist, is actually pretty easy to outright block (Forceward from the Spell Compendium). I'm just giving credit where credit is due!) The higher levels here are similar in terms of spell strategy. (If you haven’t read it, read it now consider this showcase a tutorial on how to build a mailman using different design priorities. We’re all familiar (or should be familiar!) with the Mailman(x), the archetype for a direct-damage sorcerer. ![]() Most of these only hold one or two spells, or one feat, required to pull this off.īackground: This started out as a simple challenge: Could I take the classic “fire mage” archetype and make it not suck?

With that out of the way, let's get started. The format I use showcases their progression at key levels rather than just presenting the build and showing off a few tricks at level 20 most of these are capable of being played 1-20 if you so choose. None of them actually rely on fractional to be built, though. Unless otherwise noted, showcase builds use 28 point-buy, and have their snapshots evaluated using fractional base attack / saves (because it simplifies the math). They come from members of my gaming group - me, Radical Taoist, DisposableHero_, Andarious, Sionnis, and Seishi - and I'll always identify who wrote the build at the start, so do not assume I'm the guy behind all of them (because I'm not!). In this case, I just happened to have a mostly-finished writeup ready and happened to be discussing this very problem with another player, so I figured, why not put something new(ish) up?Īs usual for the showcase, these builds are intended to spur discussion and perhaps inspire a few people in the spirit of the old CO boards.
