fire mage

[kurbyrick]

So i have never played DND before and am quite intersted. I have a friend who is going to be my DM. But I had a question. Is it possible to make a Fire Mage charcter? If so which race would be the best?

My guess is that it's likely you can be whatever kind of mage you want, as long as you look for the right feats and such.

Yes. There are numerous feats specifically dedicated to pyromancy, as well as fire magic spells. Searing Spell and Bloodline of Fire are both feats to enhance your fire spells, and there are iconic fire spells at each early level: Burning Hands/Kelgore's Firebolt at 1st, Scorching Ray at 2nd, Fireball at 3rd. After that they start to get more obscure.

Race won't specifically affect your fire magic.

Last, this belongs in D&D Class discussion. I am moving it there.

Welcome to DNDOG, and good luck with your pyromancer.

Depends on what you want.

Seeing as how you never played DnD before, I recommend that you stay away from exotic classes and features.

Unless you can give us a guideline about what you understand I can't help you.

I reccomend going sorcerer. Since you're only casting fire magic anyways, the fact that you have to pick and choose your spells doesn't bother you as much. I'd reccomend going a race with +cha or a floating +2 (put it in cha).

My word, thread necromancy at it's finest.

To successfully be a blaster you must do the following : deal massive damage and ignore any damage reduction the enemy might have.

To do this takes a bit of splat booking and research as you run into several issues. 1) How can I mitigate the metamagic cost, 2) Sorcerer is the best blaster, but metamagic enhancements make it a full-round action to cast spells, and 3) avoiding the bad spells.

I won't go into detail because, like I said earlier, if you want to know it would take quite a bit of research and the acquisition of resources.

Here is the elaboration.

Sorry, I thought since it was near the top, it was posted recently. My bad!
