I'm not very familiar with 4e, that being said I really want to build a glass cannon Wizard. I want the versatility of the wizard class but with the added abilities to drop big bombs on single and multiple targets.
I am not partial to the sorcerer class and haven't ever played a warlock.
My favorite D&D setting is Dragonlance, so for me a warlock seems like an untrained wizard, and a sorcerer to me is a renegade mage.
Which my characters being a conclave wizard is sworn to hunt down and convince the renegade to swear fealty to the tower and gods of magic or die.
I realize that this is FR and not DL but I still want to build a wizard that has taken the epic specializations in evocation and necromancy.
That is my ultimate dream for myself with this game, if this isn't possible I will play my cleric first instead lol

War wizard can be regarded as glass cannon if you only use the powers which damage instead of control powers. Regarding necromancy, it is very much possible using shadow source. As shadowfell is now integral part of Toril after the spellplague and specifically to NW campaign, it will not be out of lore to allow necromancer.
And not only necromancer wizard, but nethermancers too (Nethermencer is when dark powers are mixed with arcane powers). But considering Valindra is a necromancer, I am not sure if they will allow the shadow source powers at the launch. Maybe they will add those later along the line. Or perhaps they will have Raven Queen's necromancers fight with Prince Orcus later along the campaign.
We can only wait and watch I guess.
War Wizard: PHB1
Your delight is in powers that deal damage—lots of damage, to many foes at a time. Enormous bursts of fire, searing bolts of lightning, and waves of caustic acid are your weapons
EDIT: As War Wizard is a complete build instead of just being a paragon, I won't list it now. But over time, I will put many wizards paragon to show how they specialize in damage instead of control. They still do the damage intelligently though.
I prefer to wait until the tank has solid aggro then standing behind everyone but the healer and rain death from above on the mobs.
I see,
Clerics in the back to keep those fighters hale and hearty
The wizard in the middle, where he can shed some light
And you never let that damn thief out of sight...

Quite enjoying these, gillrmn! You do very well conveying the use of powers into short-storytelling. Love the interjection of Mystra in the latest one -- of course, I am a bit partial to the Mystryl entity, as you know. I got a good chuckle or two. Keep up the enjoyable work!

Though you would like it
I used this after listening to that interview of D&D Next that Lolth is trying to become new goddess of magic. So I tried to show that by stopping drows(and thus lolth) the bard delayed their collection of artifacts. One of those artifacts has to be Mystra's or Mystryl's essence.

Indeed I did!
Wouldn't it be neat if Lolth did get her hands on the essence of Mystryl and reverted back to her incarnation as Araushnee, before she went crazy and tried to kill Corellon? I liked Lolth more as the Goddess of All Elves than as the Spider-Queen, her original incarnation would make a great successor to become the next Mystryl incarnation. Mystryl's essence has to play a toll on any beings mental state, divine or not. It will be interesting to watch the novels unfold that lead up to D&D Next and the new Forgotten Realms. With Elminster being involved, I have no doubts so too shall the future story of Mystra be told.

Personally I would like it if Elminster himself became Mystra just like midnight did. I mean he has been able to hold the power of Mystryl for so long and has endured in mortal form - something only Mystra was able to do. I believe he is more than qualified to leave his mortal coil and try his career as a lesser deity of magic(and promote his way slowly). After hundred years of absence, I doubt most people will remember if Mystra was a female or male...
But your idea is intriguing also. A non-evil approachable Lolth would be nice. But he is also surrounded by evil followers. If she does become non-evil, I think the priestesses will try to kill her again and usurp her power.

Indeed, if you remember, Elminster was also female at one point during his "training" by Mystra. He went by Elmara at that time during the story-line involving the Myrjala avatar. So, Elminster is quite suitable to become the next Mystryl incarnation (mayhaps him becoming Elmara was more than just a learning tool for feminine wisdom, but more to become her Successor - as she held the power of Time as Mystryl, so she could very well have forseen all of this), indeed. I'm pretty sure I've spoke of this before. Even if it meant he were to remain male or even if the female aspect of Selune/Mystryl were to take hold and turn such an incarnation female, in my Campaign, Elminster is my prime choice for a new successor if Mystra wasn't to be reborn out-right.
Going to try and resist talking more about Mystra in this thread, however I just can't help but respond on the subject most of the time!

Ummm
Mystra was already reborn taken from the essences of all chosen which caused him o go all ash-lich with the rest of the chosen before returning to a more mortal form

Not sure if you mean this as a jest of the future or if you're mistaking when Manshoon tried to kill Elminster, leaving him as a pile of ash, which lead to his essence being bound to and able to control Amarune, his great-granddaughter. The Simbul and Storm, at least, still live.
Paragon Path of the Day: Unseen Mage
Path of the Class: Wizard
Any Prerequisites: Any Wizard
Lore: "And I have heard that she whispers her name in the ears of the victim and plays with them, before she kills them. It is but a rumor of course." a drunk man was talking to a wench in a bar of neverwinter.
"Haha. You talk like a mysterious and dangerous spy. How romantic! And what is your name?" The wench serving the drinks was listening to him, who was trying to flirt with her desperately.
"Why? You want to whisper it in my ears?" the rogue smiled with yellow teeth of his - pointed like that of a beast.
"Of-course! You know, before I ... eat you up..." the last words the barmaid accentuated with licking her lips - suggesting something.
"You heard Jim the Rat? The one with a bounty of 2000 gold on his head?" the man tried to smile mysteriously.
"Bingo!" and suddenly the barmaid disappeared from plain sight. Jim was taken aback and was horrified. He hurriedly collected his hat and cloak before leaving the bar. He looked scared and shriveled. He needs to escape, but how can he escape the one who is unseen? Suddenly he realized the answer. He ran into an alley with complete darkness. If he can't see her, she shouldn't be able to see him in darkness either - her advantage gone. He sat in the corner of a cul de sac, crouching in the darkest corner.
Suddenly he heard a whisper in his ear. "Exactly where I want you to be darling!" And the torches around him light up. The neverwinter guards - Neverember's men were waiting for him. He was surrounded.
"Good work! Liset has got a good hound of her own it seems." the mintarn gaurd who was head of the guards cried out.
"And about my bargain?" it seems she had cut out a deal with neverember's guards for a bounty instead of gold.
"You are a good citizen, you did your job. What bargain are you talking about?" the guard it seems was in no mood to keep to his promise.
"As I suspected. But you want to know a secret? I am not Liset's hound, but a harper agent. She was merely a means for me - for us." with that she disappeared. The guards became alert. Even if she used a spell, their numbers would keep them safe, at least for now. And that was what the mintarn guard was counting on. But suddenly the figures appeared from the roofs, with crossbows in their hands. Jim was just a bait. The rogue leading them cried out, "You think only Neverember knows how to cut a deal? Hahaha!"
The guard was in a fix. If they lost this battle, they may as well loose portion of the city. As reputation is everything. If people don't believe they are safe with Neverember, they will pay the rogues instead of the taxes and new scum would enlist in the rogue's gang en masse. This means failing Neverember entirely. Just for a little greed. It was a really bad decision. And with snipers and large numbers, he couldn't do a thing to those on roofs.
"Ok you got me. The name you want is Leeroy. His stupidity caused the death of your friends. He used to be a mintarn mercenary but we realized that he was dangerous for us and 'promoted' him to spy the neverwinter woods with adventurers."
"That wasn't that hard was it. By the way Jim, that story you heard was just a rumor. I don't whisper, neither do I kill." And with this she recited a spell and there was a flashbang.
A few seconds later when the eyes of the rogue and his men normalized, they could see nothing. "She may still be there. Shoot!" the rogue leader cried. The night rained with black rain of bolts. Then later they went down to check the bodies.
There was only one, the body of the bounty Jim the rat, shot by five crossbow arrows. The was no sign of anybody else. They all had just ... disappeared!
And another rumor came to surface - of an invisible woman who whispers a name and memebers of same gang will kill one of their own.
Not sure if you mean this as a jest of the future or if you're mistaking when Manshoon tried to kill Elminster, leaving him as a pile of ash, which lead to his essence being bound to and able to control Amarune, his great-granddaughter. The Simbul and Storm, at least, still live.
Not quite, see the novel "Bury Elminster Deep" and "Elminster Must Die!"
He is sentient Ash
Now what happens to him in the next novel, I'm not saying here, but the "Bury Elminster Deep" and Elminster Must Die! novels do show
Mystra is resurrected from her chosen, and the rest of the Chosen also become "Ash Liches"
Great job! Keep it up. I enjoy reading the stories/ class descriptions. They're very imaginative. I also appreciate the hard work and time it takes to come up with them.

Another great story gillrmn.
A rogue build sounds in order about now so I am fine with that. Perhaps afterwards you should choose a fighter, cleric or ranger though because, well, they must be feeling a lack of love about now hahaha.
I'm not going there again in detail, but will say the Drow in D&D is both singular and plural, while the real world uses Drows as seen in Laterature.
kk that was confusing to me as I had read books, etc. that had it plural and then was reading Glim's posts and seeing "Drows" and it looked off to me. I must admit I am pretty unfamiliar with the term "Drow" outside of D&D.
But then for years I thought it was "DrOw" as in "Crow" and not "DroW" as in "Cow".

Here is the discussion that was referred to about the plurality of Drow (Starts around post 53): http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=6571 So, yeah in short, in D&D it is just "Drow" but in our real world mythology, "Drow" can be pluralized as "Drows."
Some great scenarios there Gillrmn! Some solid lore stuff there.
Just a quick question though . . . Is not the word "Drow" both singular AND plural?
...
I didn't really concentrate on that. Though I agree I have the ability to do it intentionally[ ], this time I just didn't consciously pay attention to it.

Thats a good point. Lets see by classifying by sources:
Paragon Path of the Day: Cloaked Sniper
Path of the Class: Rogue
Any Prerequisites: Any Rogue
Lore: Fargrim checked his crossbow and prepared to climb the tower. Shifting through shadows, the age was finally catching up to him as he was out of breath. "It is perhaps time for me to retire."
Above on tower, two of the guards on patrol duty were knocked silly with bolts out of no where. The rogue then replaced his repeating crossbow with a superior crossbow and aimed at the balcony of a rich house, about a mile away.
Although the target was quite far, the height advantage was with the rogue. From his scope of his sniper crossbow, he could see a human woman - a noble - scantly clad in her nightgown. "The life of a sniper is lonely one." the dwarven rogue sighed. He remembered the woman he loved the most. How pretty and stubby were her hands, unlike this woman at the end of her scope. And her lovely beard! And not just from outside, from inside she was beautiful too. Once the dwarf had burped very loudly in the presence of her muse, to make him comfortable the muse burped louder.
Of course, the muse wouldn't burp normally! She was a goddess. Created by Moradin if she would barf, diamonds would come out. If she... But anyways. Life of a sniper is lonely one.
He looked through his visor. The wine the woman was going to drink was poisoned. These humans, they are so deceived by outer appearances that they surround themselves with vipers. Their closest try to kill them. Oh! How he pities them.
But emotions don't exist on this side of scope. The other side of scope is a completely different world. That is why life of a sniper is lonely one...
Yaine was going to drink some wine to cure her headache before she went to sleep. Suddenly, a bolt out of nowhere came missing her eyes by inches and piercing the goblet. She suddenly looked up just as doors burst open and some mercenaries came in. They were armed. "What are they after?" thought Yaine. But she instinctively ran.
At the end of balcony. There was a large gap and then there was the wall to her father's quarters. If only there was a bridge instead of the gap and a window instead of that stone wall, she would be free. She can perhaps jump below, but she would surely die. Her room was five stories up. Her father thought she would be safe there. She was unsure what to do, she faced her pursuers with fear. Then she decided to jump.
The life of sniper is lonely one. Beyond the scope is another world which sniper should not involve himself with. The world where emotions should not reach. For the scope filters out all the emotions. With the first bolt, Fargrim had confirmed the wind speed, the fall of bolt in long shot, for it is a trajectory and it falls to gravity like any other projectile. For a sniper, every minute adjustment is very important. Fargrim only carried two bolt with him. One for testing and one for shot.
"It is time. May Timora smile upon me." Fargrim had a coin of Tymora embedded on his crossbow. He fired just as the human lady was going to jump. Just on target - right on heart. The bolt drove home just as the human lady fell. "Mission accomplished" said the heartless rogue. "The world beyond the scope is a world without emotions. Or I won't be able to bear the weight of one shot. But damn... life of a sniper is lonely one."
Yaine got up dizzy. She knew a bolt had peirced her heart. She looked at her breast to confirm it, with despair for she knew she only had few moments to live. Sure enough, there was a hole of a bolt on her dress. But no blood or the sign of bolt. She looked around. She was in her father's quarters, beyond the wall. She was amazed. Did the earlier and this next bolt save her life? How is that possible. Suddenly she opened her eyes wide with only one explanation, "Space-shifting Bolt!" The life of a sniper is lonely one, for he lives in shadows and never recieves thanks for those he saves, unlike those low-life knights always basking in glory of their useless reckless actions ...
Thanks @Zebular

I changed repeater rogue with sniper as I saw a movie about snipers yesterday night. So first I was like, ok repeater rogue, then - nah! two handed rogue would be nice - but in the end decided to go for a sniper.
It was a tough choice between two handed crossbow rogue and a sniper. Heavy repeater got lost in background

He looked through his visor. The wine the woman was going to drink was poisoned. These humans, they are so deceived by outer appearances that they surround themselves with vipers. Their closest try to kill them. Oh! How he pities them.
But emotions don't exist on this side of scope. The other side of scope is a completely different world. That is why life of a sniper is lonely one...
Yaine was going to drink some wine to cure her headache before she went to sleep. Suddenly, a bolt out of nowhere came missing her eyes by inches and piercing the goblet. She suddenly looked up just as doors burst open and some mercenaries came in. They were armed. "What are they after?" thought Yaine. But she instinctively ran.
At the end of balcony. There was a large gap and then there was the wall to her father's quarters. If only there was a bridge instead of the gap and a window instead of that stone wall, she would be free. She can perhaps jump below, but she would surely die. Her room was five stories up. Her father thought she would be safe there. She was unsure what to do, she faced her pursuers with fear. Then she decided to jump.
The life of sniper is lonely one. Beyond the scope is another world which sniper should not involve himself with. The world where emotions should not reach. For the scope filters out all the emotions. With the first bolt, Fargrim had confirmed the wind speed, the fall of bolt in long shot, for it is a trajectory and it falls to gravity like any other projectile. For a sniper, every minute adjustment is very important. Fargrim only carried two bolt with him. One for testing and one for shot.
"It is time. May Timora smile upon me." Fargrim had a coin of Tymora embedded on his crossbow. He fired just as the human lady was going to jump. Just on target - right on heart. The bolt drove home just as the human lady fell. "Mission accomplished" said the heartless rogue. "The world beyond the scope is a world without emotions. Or I won't be able to bear the weight of one shot. But damn... life of a sniper is lonely one."
Yaine got up dizzy. She knew a bolt had peirced her heart. She looked at her breast to confirm it, with despair for she knew she only had few moments to live. Sure enough, there was a hole of a bolt on her dress. But no blood or the sign of bolt. She looked around. She was in her father's quarters, beyond the wall. She was amazed. Did the earlier and this next bolt save her life? How is that possible. Suddenly she opened her eyes wide with only one explanation, "Space-shifting Bolt!" The life of a sniper is lonely one, for he lives in shadows and never recieves thanks for those he saves, unlike those low-life knights always basking in glory of their useless reckless actions ...

I changed repeater rogue with sniper as I saw a movie about snipers yesterday night. So first I was like, ok repeater rogue, then - nah! two handed rogue would be nice - but in the end decided to go for a sniper.
It was a tough choice between two handed crossbow rogue and a sniper. Heavy repeater got lost in background
