Help make me invincible.

[interwyrm]

I am going to be playing an abjurer/initiate of the sevenfold veil in an upcoming campaign. What spells should I focus on so that I am basically invincible?

We are playing with a house rule that wizard specialists have access to all spells in their chosen school, so all abjuration spells are fair game.

I am giving up enchantment and necromancy.

Nondetection and Invisibility, Greater would be a couple of good starts.

Edit - Then follow up with stoneskin.

Or play a Cleric ;-)

Sadly, as far as spells as a wizard your going to have a hard time finding really good spells to defend against magic, that dont neuter you in the process. And you have even less to protect you from your biggest weakness, magically: fort save based save or dies.


See if you can talk your DM into letting wizards have Spell Resistance, Death Ward and Freedom of Movement , at least at some spell level or other. Their basic defense spells that all real casters should really have anyway

Greater Blink [CA] is a very nifty spell. Saved both my sorceress and the bard from a Balor yesterday!

Dimension Door is a must-have to escape from grapple.

Generally, I think the best defense is high mobility, tho.

Pay the dm lots of money, your taking a risk with anything else

find a d20 with 20s on all sides.

The campaign we are playing doesn't have clerics. To compensate, specialist wizards have all spells of their chosen school available to them.
So... I do have spell resistance and freedom of movement, but not death ward.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned 'fly'.

Would it be possible to use contingency with dispel magic to counterspell anything cast at you?

 

[Minosis]

Get a good reflex save and a ring of evasion

play a dwarf to help with fort saves and saves against magic

get a mantle of second chances for that ever important reroll

Think about giving up something pther than necromancy, false life gives a lot of temp hps for a long time

grab spells like resist energy and dragonskin(draconomicon)

Now here is the real cheese, if you have access to the book of exalted deeds get mithral chain shirt with the Twilight enchantment and then put further protection on it

Not possible. There is no such thing as an invincible character.
