This character aims to utilize a disrupting bola as an implement for wizard spells, optionally doing no damage and immobilizing all targets.

I'm currently thinking this character would progress towards taking Sage of Ages perhaps at Epic.

I love to hear any criticism or ideas for replacements.

I've taken MC ranger with a mind to maybe taking Spitting Cobra Stance (and to qualify for Bola Training) but I'm not sure it would be better than the powers it would replace.

Bola Training (and the other weapon multiclass trees) no longer have a Martial class requirement.  I believe you could take it as early as you wanted. 

That said, I'm not sure if the combo works or not;  when you hit with the bola, you can choose to do no damage to immobilize targets.  I wonder if that means you must physically attack and hit with the bola itself, or if just using it as an implement is enough.  I don't think the designers foresaw this sort of combination happening, so it's a bit vague on the wording =P.

I know that CharOp is all about RAW-twisting... But seriously...

"The Wizard mutter some arcane word, moving his bolas from one hand to the other. The Fire-bola-ball explode violently amidst you, but whitout damage. Ho, and you are immobilized."

"Immobilized? What a silly version of fireball!"

"It's an effect of having a Bolas in hand."

"Wait, have him throw the bolas?"

"No."
Actually Play'ng:

Nothing. My old party is full of short-sighted racists and sexists (on their own admission), so I left.

Dragon Magazine Annual released an errata on the Dragon material.  I don't think the Compendium has been updated yet... does it list an errata of any kind in the Compendium?

How are you using a bola (flail) as an arcane implement for wizard spells?

I understand how you can use it for Cleric powers.. since its a holy symbol.

Hybrids can use any implement from either class for both classes powers.
