DM Seeking advice:Disintegrate Counters needed

[Burne]

My poor Construct's and Undead need your help! How can a reasonable arcane or divine spellcaster protect himself (or itself) from Disintegrate.

More SR, More Touch AC, More Fortitude saves are not valid answers.

Things with do not work: Spell Immunity (only up to 4th lvl spells), Spell Turning (Doesn't turn Effect type spells).

Things which work but aren't that useful: Proof against Transmutation armor (Those most in need of protection can't or don't wear armor/use equipment).

Things that are available: Anything, the game in question, has a well equipped and balanced group of 21st level characters. While I try to limit the use of splatbooks I have and will use them on a small scale. The current monster in need of protection is a 23rd lvl caster, so most anything would go.

Thanks to all who respond

There is nothing that says you can't put this on a shirt, robe, cape, etc. You might need to do some research first, but the option is certainly there.

Spell Immunity has been used for some interesting effects. Check out Andy Collins' Ring Bracers of Shielding.

How about a +1 mithral buckler of proof against transmutation? No spell failure chance.

Yup. Just as good, though you would still have to research the application, but you get a nice little AC bonus to go along with it. Good thinking.

 

[Mr Fidgit]

what about a ring (or item) of counterspells, with disintegrate cast into it? (it's cheap, too. only 4,000 gp)

Make a character with the Spellfire feat, get a magic item that constantly hastes you, then tape a sign to your forehead that states the following: "Unless I specifically state otherwise, I am using my haste partial action to ready an action to absorb a spell using my Spellfire."

Mirror Image is also good. Sure, it's not a guarantee, but if you're blurred or displaced as well...

Well if he is of that high a caster level, it would stand to reason that he has researched some spells in his time, and I think it would be perfectly reasonable for him to have researched a warding spell against such a thing.

I agree, but that's not an automatic thing. That would be something he and his DM would need to discuss. Like I said beofre, the possiblity is there.
