[QUOTE="RigaMortus2, post: 3266654, member: 11586"] I realize this is the opposite of what you are looking for, but if you ever feel the need to invade another country, you could use this set-up (note that this isn't even Epic). Human Wizard 9/Cleric 1 (Magic Domain)/Dweomerkeeper 10 Level 1: Explosive Spell, Snowcasting, Scribe Scroll Level 3: Energy Substitution (electricity) Level 5: Craft Wondrous Item Level 6: Empower Spell Level 9: Born of the Three Thunders Level 12: Alacritous Cogitation Level 15: Extraordinary Spell Aim Level 18: Arcane Thesis (Apocalypse from the Sky) Obviously, this could be better. Despite lacking all of the nice caster level boosts (for a larger radius) and other CO tricks (Persistent Spell comes to mind), this bare-bones build is still able to put AftS into practical use. Thanks to Alacritous Cogitation, you can cast Apocalypse from the Sky with a full-round action, instead of the normal 24-hour wait. Thanks to Dweomerkeeper, you can ignore the otherwise hefty artifact requirement and any SR through Supernatural spell. Thanks to Extraordinary Spell Aim, you can exclude yourself from the nasty effects of your Explosive Empowered Energy Substituted Born of the Three Thunders Apocalypse from the Sky. In the end, you’re doing a total of 150,480d6 (100,320d6 * 1.5) damage before any items are applied and the actual damage of the spell itself is included to anyone adjacent to you during the casting. Creatures father out take less damage depending on distance, and less than that if they hit something. [/QUOTE]
