[QUOTE="Asmor, post: 3012285, member: 1154"] So in about a week and a half, our party has to fight the last round of a tournament, where we'll need to fight two uber former PCs of the DM, Gravitz and Skried (not sure on the spelling, not that it matters). We fought Gravitz alone in the previous round and barely won by a combination of luck and brokenness (the cleric cast 3.0 harm and his summoned arrowhawk took him out). And that won't work again, since they'll be prepared for that spell. Prior to said luck/brokenness, Gravitz alone took out pretty much everyone in the party. I know that he was wearing some sort of cloth armor, had 32 AC normally, and just over 500 hp. I think he's a level 30 fighter or something. No idea what Skried is, but I know he's got insane combat abilities and insane spellcasting abilities. Far more powerful than Gravitz. And we fight them both together. We have 1 day to prepare, likely able to buy any magic item we would want (counting core and not neccessarily ruling out 3rd party stuff, Relics & Rituals in particular, but rather not go for any of that way out there stuff. Try to stick to RAW if possible) in that time. At least 450,000 gold (We had 10:1 odds against us in the fight against Gravitz and 3 of us bet 45k, in addition to some others). Oh, and anything from 3.0 OR 3.5 is just fine. As I said, we won the last fight using 3.0 harm. Characters: Me, level 10 fighter/3 paladin dragonborn (heart aspect, giving me a 5d8 breath attack of the energy type of my choice) Gold dragon-blood monk (I think level 12 or 13) Thri-Kreen Monk (8 monk, 12 ECL) 11 Drow Swashbuckler (Maybe 12) 13 Human Cleric (Unsure of domains) 10-ish Human Tarot Mage (3rd party thing, no idea what she's capable of as the player is flaky and has been absent from many of the combats, hence lower level) Some sort of copper dragon boy (not an actual dragon, not a half dragon, I think he was thought up on the spot) that's something like 6 rogue/3 fighter/1 psion. I told the DM I would like to take leadership at level 15 and wanted to start looking for a cohort, and so he came up with this guy to join the party. Controlled by the DM. In addition, we've got an NPC cleric who won't be fighting with us, but can most likely buff us before hand with any spell that has a duration of, say, at least an hour (lots of pomp and circumstance before the final round). Oh, I almost forgot, 5 of us have uber swords from Relics and Rituals. The swords of scarn, specifically. We're fighting in this tournament to get the last one, the fire one. If you don't have R&R, suffice to say there's probably not a better set of weapons available to us. I'm thinking something that generates an anti-magic aura or dead magic zone, especially if it can be targetted/selective, might be good. [/QUOTE]
