Sorcerer/Archmage VS Cerebremancer

[william_iii]

So it's still Nymph.

An illithid Wiz 5/Psion 5/Cere 30 seems best build of Cerebremancer. When it turns to Nymph, Cha is hoped to be the main ability. But if I use Wilder, since Expanded Knowledge is necessary, the feats of these builds are a little bit too few.

Sor/Psion doesn't have this problem, but it seems strange: both the two classes are 'blasters' but not 'problem solvers'.

Then I just wonder, is Cerebremancer stronger than Sor/Archmage/Elemental Savant or Sor/Archmage/WWC(War Wizard of Cormyr)?

(I'm sure ThE LoSt BoY will say yes~ he's a psionist, or psioncon I just wonder there're other advices. After all, it's not easy to be a Cha-based caster ??_??)

Cerebremancer will have much more fire power than any (NWN) archmage build, but he has to sacifice caster/manifester level so his spells may not affect mobs with high SR.

Socrerer/Archmage/Elemental Savant will have higher caster level and DC than cerebermancer but less spells per day.
