I'm more of a practical optimizer than an uber/theorical, squeeze every +1 out of the character optimizer, if that makes any sense.<br/><br/>So while the shocking grasp indeed sounds good and I definitely appreciate the information, I was intending for him to be have a bit more versatility/utility. I also don't see a reason to multi-class ranger if going with magus. Going straight magus the bab would be the same.<br/><br/>My likely 20 level progression would be 2 Ranger/8 Diviner/10 Arcane Archer. Though still not closing the possibility to magus instead. If choosing magus it would then be 10 Magus/10 Arcane Archer. Still reading through things.<br/><br/>One bad thing about wizard is that his spell load-out may very well end up being extremely similar to Tessara's.
