[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 7526002, member: 2525"] OK, dex saves. Sounds good. +5 from three-quarters cover. You can prepare to gain cover - in fact my black dragon scenario involved that as one of the primary goals of the scouting mission, to find good reachable cover. +2.5 from Bless. +2.5 from Resistance +5 if you have a Paladin with you (Aura of Protection). +1 from Cloak of Resitance (it's just uncommon) +1 from Luckstone (it's just uncommon) +1 from Ring of Protection (it's rare so might not have one, though a disproportionate number of official published adventures have one to be found well prior to level 17) +5 With bardic inspiration (that's the rough equivelent of advantage). Though probably that advantage will come from something even more useful, like Haste. There's plenty more you could get. But we're at +23 now so I think I've demonstrated you can in fact prepare. Nothing I listed is outrageous in the least - most of it is low level spells and cantrips and uncommon magic items which are a dime a dozen at level 17, along with careful preparation concerning the battleground, and likely a preparatory stealth mission to get to cover to begin (and there are tons more bonuses to be had cheap if stealth is the goal). And we have not even begun on resistance, reduction, and immunity to fire damage preparation tools. [/QUOTE]
