[QUOTE="Grogg of the North, post: 6659904, member: 6682960"] Did the DM tell you that something like this may happen back when he was getting ready for the campaign? Or is this a sandboxy campaign and the group just happened upon it? For overcoming the DC 20 spellcraft check, start putting ranks in at each level up. If you fail the check, does the spell fizzle? If so, and the party is having a hard time overcoming challenges, ask your DM if you can rebuild your character. Or argue that healing belongs in the necromancy school and not conjuration. Custom magic items is one way to do it. Why are you dropping 30K on them? Are they +17 or something like that? The spells Guidance, Divine Insight, and Prayer all give minor bonuses to skill checks. Divine Insight would probably be your best bet. However Guidance and Divine Insight are divination and are subject to your spellcraft check. You could grab Skill Focus (Spellcraft) but that's a hefty feat tax. Does the check effect magic items? If not, load up on wands and potions. Or a shirt of the leech. As for your -4 penalty on saves, I'd suggest getting the best Vest of Resistance you can afford. And a luck stone. Divine Agility (CD) will help you with your reflex save. Boosting your stats will help you, too. I don't know about your build but you could look at the feats that give bonuses to your saves (Iron Will, True Believer, Knight of the Stars, etc) but again, it's a bit of a feat tax and I don't know how you feel about that.
