But they have good synergy with rogues and have lots of skills.ĭread Necromancer – if you are looking for an undead Gish or something like that. I don’t think you would want to use them for a standard Gish type. I wouldn’t even try.īeguiler – By far not optimal but it lends to a sneaky Gish build better than a wizard in my opinion. Warmage – While the name would lend you to think these would make good Gishes they don’t. They also have giant size on their spell list so if you have a natural attack from race you need to worry less about magical arms and armor. Wu-Jen – Almost as good as the wizard and a nice flavor if you are looking into an anime/oriental feel to your character. I like the extra buffing they can bring to the table but you won’t be much of a caster with these. I would make these blue in Sublime Cord builds.

Playing note only pick one trick with a sorcerer and you are good to go.īard – not a normal choice but these can be fun a base to your casting side. You won’t have as many choices and are limited in metamagics compared to a wizard but this is still a solid base here. This is my personal preference for Arcane Strike Gishes. He doesn’t know as many spells, but he can cast more of them in a day. Sorcerer – The spontaneous version of the wizard. There is a reason Wizards one of the best classes in the game. Spell casting wise they can have the most versatile list and most options to use on any given day. The best spell list, solid skills for most builds, and can get access to domains. Wizard – I might as well start with the best of the best here. I am not covering AFC’s till the end of the section and I will only be listing a few of my favorites not all of them. I will be covering all the arcane classes for the mage side of the abilities here. No real drawbacks but outside of polymorph / alter self tricks no other real advantage.Īny other +0 races send me a PM and I will see if I want to include them. Neraphim – You’re an outsider and all the good things that come with that and no level adjust. Some will argue that this should be black, but it’s my handbook and my opinions Now an elf may fit your theme and RP idea so go for it. Gnome – with small size and shadowmage tricks these are okay but only for a few specific builds.Įlf/ Half-Elf – It’s all about the -2 con here. Getting advanced casting or extra spell lists by adding loredrake in and you have a wrecking ball of a Gish. You will have much better choices.ĭragonborn – a lot is based off of the base race you choose but these can be good.ĭragonwrought Kobold – add in venerable with no penalty and you have a great base to any Gish. Orc/half-Orc - Now I know that one or two of the sub races can be good but overall stay clear of these.

With the ability to cast in full plate and not be slowed down by it either is all ways good. And the early hit to charisma isn’t that bad for game going to a full 20 levels or more. And pending DM you can get a ton of extra spells per day from your strength with the Aeshkrau symbols.ĭwarf – for a non charisma based Gish Dwarfs are amazing. Almost as good as Humans and Strong Hearted Halflings. Illumian – Personally one of my favorite Races. One of the best races you can choose no matter what you are doing. Strong hearted Halfling - see above but add in small size. It’s all been said before and I don’t think I need to get to into detail on this one. Human – extra feat, bonus skill points, one of the most versatile races in the game good choice no matter what style Character you our going for.
