Advice


Has anyone played the Bloodmage prestige class? Formerly known as bloatmage. Thoughts?


Yes, I believe that someone has played the Bloodmage. It was better when you could do early entry with SLA.


I play one in PFS currently, Wizard5/Bloatmage6. I have in effect given up my level 8 school power, a few free spells and a feat for an extra 6+2d8 levels of spells per day.

Also it is still called the Bloatmage, the pfsrd simply cannot use the name so calls it the Bloodmage.

Are you wanting something? Bloat mage is a fine PrC. It can give you some extra spells a day, but you lose out on the higher school power and increasing your school powers. But if you have a school that you don't need it's higher powers then go the class if you want. You'll still be a full caster so you can't really mess up too bad.


I played a halfling necromancer/bloatmage all the way through Curse of the Crimson Throne and loved it. Slightly more flavorful than a pure wizard, slightly tougher in some ways, and no less powerful. Feats are a bit tight, but they always are for wizard. The recharge ability is extremely handy.
