You might want to rename this build, as DragonChyld already posted a build titled "The Pale Staffmaster".

This is a bad build IMO, the reason why is simple, You have two classes which, while both offer a Caster level casting on certain spells, the spells do not overlap. SO. Your necro spells are gonna suck because of the WM levels, And your Buffs are gonna suck because of the PM levels. You are good at neither. On top of that you Have all your points going into INT, Your spell DC's are based off of STR as a SM, so again, your Save DCs are going to be horrid.

If you want a good caster SM, use 34 levels of Wiz, 1 level of monk, and 5 levels of WM, Your still not gonna be as bad ass as a regular caster, But at 60 your Pen could be 62. Put all your points into STR, and pref use a STR increasing Subby. OR build my Pale SM build if ya want A necro caster.

thanks
1. What do you recommend as the minimum DC?

2.if i changed to
Start/subrace (Stinger)/40 (i had a look at you build mentioned above)
STR: 16/20/25
DEX: 13/13/14
CON: 13/15/16
WIS: 8/6/6
INT: 16/16/19
CHA: 8/6/6

the PM and WM are used for the melee bonuses knowing that it will cost in spell casting
are those changes inaf to un bad it?
