Arch Mage build out for high

[Tarval]

Hey all,

I've started to look at trying out a new combo with a bit more magic in it.

Archmage
Boh
kRoF

Some points left over..

I was thinking talism of protection which will start him off at a 6 plus. With two easy spells castes I'll have gained my four plus bump..I was also looking at the xtra cheap str4 casting on a dice to flush out chaff.. Two soul quenches per turn could get deadly if I crank the power up..

16 for the power - 5 for the casting plus the BoH could bring the pain??

Thoughts

Then again it could just be a standard build out to keep him alive.

Arch age
BoH
ToP

That's going for it!

The problem I can see is if you Break Concentration, run into Hellheart, get double scrolled etc, then the caster could get killed. Also, I feel you probably need a second caster with Dispel Scroll and the Ring usually fits very nicely on that guy.

My favourite build for a solo Archmage is Scroll, 4++, Ring. Odds are you'll get exactly one spell off to push the save up to a 3++.

I personally like to use High Magic lore attribute to benefit close combat unit. That sadly requires the mage to go in to the front line

Thus my usual build is book of hoeth, fencers blade, crown of attrazar. Or BoH + ToP

It never fails, every time I have gotten ready for a big tournament. Something comes up in the form of a late cancelation for the event. I picked up the new fez a few months ago but have yet to get a game in.

I've always ran two mages and used my archer bunkers to address the hell heart issue.

My normal
Build out would be with the new dex.

AM-BoH-ToP

Mage, dispel scroll, something else.

I really like the ring and what it has to offer.

AM with this ring could really crank out some damage. Then again I normally prep to keep my Mage alive as long as possible. As well I've used my AM plus my ToP to address no magical monsters, machines..

Now that I have had a chance to bounce this idea off the boards. I've come to the resolution that the Mage lol two is the best combo..

Thanks all

I like to run my Archmage with the Book of Ashur and the Talisman of Endurance.

+6 to cast, +5 to dispel. That 5++ ward turns into a 4++ in no time

Does this guy run with a support mage?
