Hi Sep,
Two things: 1) This is one of my favorite Rogues Gallery threads, along with Piratecat and the Jester's threads.
2) I'd like to get your opinion on the "demon lords" I've posted on this thread for my homebrewed campaign setting, World of Kulan.
Cheers!

That's just nice. The group is all around ECL of 28-30 now right? This guy just seems waay beyond them so i'm hoping they don't actually find him anytime soon?
Wind of Dominion is the type of spell I like except way too high of a DC for what I was looking for. Not bad when you have a nice spellcraft boosting item though.
Question: His artifact allows the use of Vision. Does this cost him xp to use? I know it matters little since he's an NPC at this point but assuming the group actually came upon it I wondered. I'm guessing no since it's an artifact.
So tactics against this guy are a mind blank and death ward and anything non-epic that he has is practically negated.
However, I notice what seems to be a lareg issue to me. You have several Divine Metamagic feats but didn't bother taking one Extra Turning feat. He only has 22 uses and to use any of these and to use them it costs several uses each. ALSO doesn't he need to actually take the feat to use it? It seems he should maybe have one or two of those but all those feats end up wasted. I really think that needs another look and thought on unless he's already been played. I mean if he quickened two or 3 spells then he's uses all his daily rebuke attempts. However, I don't think he can even do so now without having taken the feat. I think you need to remove all but one of those feats (or two) and then take the actual metamagic feats and maybe sneak in an Extra Turn Feat. JUST my opinion but I think there's an issue there.

Sithramir: the text of Divine Metamagic doesn't say you have to have the feat. You can have Divine Metamagic (Extend) without having the Extend feat.
It's kinda funny when a non-cleric can be criticized for "only" having 22 uses of Rebuke Undead.
Although I can see where you are coming from; DM will burn through those 22 uses awfully quickly. But it's like criticizing a character for "only" having 600 hp. Or saying an item is too cheap at "only" 2 million gp. It just seems funny to me. Such are the peculiarities of epic play.
I really need to invest in a MM3, I think.
