But we're getting the ball rolling again! I am kind of jumping the gun a bit here because we don't have as big a buffer as I'd like, but I've held off too long as it is.As usual forScorching Ray is actually a good base for this Blastificer build. An artificer can craft a Wand of Scorching Ray at CL1 due to how their math works. That makes one cost 1*2*750=1500g each, 1/3 of the cost of what a wizard would craft.

Rod of wands and a quickened wand in the off hand all with magic missiles.

Means we can possibly get Reckless Wand Wielder earlier if that extra metamagic feat is of less import. (There's a lot of flex in when they come online, and I'd think that Dual Wand Use outdoes Twin Spell in this regard).
