Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sepulchrave II" data-source="post: 5148148" data-attributes="member: 4303">Will respond to other queries as time permits.Till then, Mostin with epic spells I could find and formatted for comprehensibility. Development costs are hypothetical, as noone really has that much money, but are offset against predicted character wealth. Suites allow various expressions of epic spells, as noted in their description and incur a 'flexibility' surcharge in Spellcraft DC. Nonepic spell selection is the 'full offense' suite.I've appended the Ú, which might be regarded as Nehael's principal concern with Mostin's potential power.**Mostin the Metagnostic (CR 43)Spellwarped Pseudonatural Diviner 20 / Alienist 10 Medium Outsider (Augmented Aberration, Native) Hit Dice: 30d4+330 plus 6 (insane certainty) (456hp)Initiative: +11Speed: 60ft.Armor Class: 70 (+8 armor, +5 Deflection, +11 Dex, +1 insight, +35 natural), touch 27, flatfooted 59Base Atk/Grapple: +15/+48Attack: +50 melee (1d6+18/18-20, MW rapier); or +49 tentacle rake (2d8+18); or +41 ranged touchFull Attack: +50/+45 melee (1d6+18/18-20, MW rapier); or +49 melee, 9 tentacle rakes (2d8+18); or by spell Special Attacks: Improved grab, rotting constriction, spell-like abilities, spellsSpecal Qualities: Alien blessing, cannot be flanked, constant insight, damage reduction 15/epic, darkvision 120ft., immunities (acid, electricity), insane certainty, extra summoning, pseudonatural familiar, SR 150, spellwarp, summon alien, timeless body, true seeing 120ft. Saves: Fort +29 Ref +29 Will +37Abilities: Str 47 Dex 33 Con 32 Int 64* Wis 36 Cha 22Skills: Concentration +45, Craft (alchemy) +61, Craft (engraving) +61, Craft (calligraphy/illumination) +61, Decipher Script +61, Gather Information +40, Knowledge (arcana) +61, Knowledge (architecture and engineering) +61, Knowledge (geography) +61, Knowledge (history) +61, Knowledge (nature) +61, Knowledge (nobility) +61, Knowledge (the planes) +61, Intimidate +23, Listen +32, Ride +28, Search +61, Sense Motive +33, Spellcraft +124 (scrolls +128), Spot +69.Feats: Alertness, Brew Potion, Chain Spell, Craft Wondrous Item, Empower Spell, Energy Substitution (sonic), Epic Skill Focus (Spellcraft), Epic Spellcasting, Extend Spell, Improved Metamagic, Improved Spell Capacity (10th), Improved Spell Capacity (11th), Improved Spell Capacity (12th), Martial Weapon Proficiency (Rapier), Maximize Spell, Multispell, Quicken Spell, Scribe Scroll, Spell Focus (Conjuration), Spell Penetration, Still Spell.Insane Certainty: Mostin takes a –10 penalty on all Bluff, Diplomacy and Handle Animal checks made when dealing with nonpseudonatural creatures.Metagnostic Form (Su): As a free action, Mostin can change form between a humanoid and a writhing mass of tentacles, or any combination in between. Typically, he appears as a humanoid with vestigial alien features. A true seeing spell reveals Mostin as existing in all forms simultaneously. In his tentacled form, Mostin's may use Improved Grab and Rotting Constriction in addition to his other abilities. In this form, nonpseudonatural enemies suffer a –1 morale penalty on their attack rolls to hit Mostin; creatures using true seeing automatically incur the penalty.Mostin's metagnostic form is not subject to dispel effects, but within an antimagic field Mostin may not change form and retains whichever shape he possessed before entering the field.Permanent Spell Effects: Mostin is permanently under the effects of arcane sight, darkvision and see invisibility. If dispelled, Mostin may reestablish these effects through the permanency spell without paying the associated xp again. Caster level 31st.Improved Grab (Ex): If Mostin hits an opponent of medium-size or smaller with a tentacle, he deals normal damage and attempts to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity.Rotting Constriction (Ex): Once Mostin has hold of an opponent, each successful grapple check he makes during subsequent rounds permanently drains 2d4 points of Constitution. At the same time, Mostin regains 10 lost hit points.Spell-Like Abilities: As a standard action, Mostin can use blur, haste or dimension door. Caster level 31st.Spellwarp: Spells which fail to penetrate his Spell Resistance confer certain advantages to Mostin. Mostin may choose to be affected in any of the following ways:1. He gains a +4 enhancement bonus to Strength2. He gains a +4 enhancement bonus to Dexterity3. He gains a +4 enhancement bonus to Constitution4. He gains (5 x spell level) temporary Hit Points5. He gains a bonus to his speed equal to (5ft. x spell level)6. He gains an energy resistance (fire or sonic) 10Absorption effects last for one minute.Summon Alien: Whenever Mostin uses a summon monster spell to summon a fiendish or celestial creature, he instead summons a pseudonatural version of that creature. Once per day, Mostin can cast an extra summon monster IX spell.Long Duration Epic Ward: Mostin is usually under the effect of the First Rite of Cognition: He gains a +30 enhancement bonus to Intelligence which supercedes that conferred by his headband of intellect. The First Rite of Cognition does not grant additional spell slots.SpellsMostin casts spells as a 31st-level diviner (4/9/8/8/8/8/7/7/7/7/3/3/3); Save DC 37+ spell level; Conjuration save 38+ spell level). Mostin casts one extra spell each day of each level from the Divination school. His barred school is Necromancy, He gains a +2 bonus to caster level checks to penetrate SR. Mostin adds +10 to Save DCs as long as the First Rite of Cognition is in effect.Mostin may also cast three epic spells per day. He gains a +5 bonus to his Spellcraft checks if he casts an epic spell with a Divination base seed, and enjoys a -5DC mitigating factor to the DCs of spells which reflect his specialization as an Alienist. He suffers a –15 penalty to his check when casting any epic spells which include a Necromancy seed. If under the First Rite of Cognition he can reliably cast spells with a Spellcraft DC of 134 or less.Spells Prepared:Epic(1) Superb Dispelling (1) Mhuerh Resonance(1) Burn the Body, Quicken the MindLevel 12(2) Time stop (quickened) (1) Meteor swarm (sonic, maximized, empowered) (16d6+192)(1) Hindsight (quickened)Level 11(1) Delayed blast fireball (sonic, empowered, quickened) (DC44) (30d6)(1) Disintegrate (quickened, maximized) (DC43) (240)(1) Time stop (maximized) (5 rounds)(1) Moment of prescience (quickened)Level 10(2) Polar ray (sonic, maximized) (150)(1) Delayed blast fireball (sonic, empowered, maximized) (DC44) (10d6+120)(1) Greater arcane sight (quickened) Level 9(2) Disjunction(2) Fire orb (sonic, quickened, maximized) (90)(1) Imprisonment (DC46)(1) Prismatic sphere(1) Disintegrate (empowered, maximized) (DC 43) (20d6+240)(1) ForesightLevel 8(3) Delayed blast fireball (sonic, empowered) (DC44) (30d6)(1) Flesh to stone (quickened) (DC43)(1) Antimagic field (quickened)(1) Mind blank(1) Spell turning (empowered)(1) Moment of prescienceLevel 7(3) Fire orb (sonic, empowered, maximized) (7d6+90)(2) Delayed blast fireball (sonic) (DC44) (20d6)(1) Limited wish (DC44)(1) Greater scrying(1) VisionLevel 6(3) Fireball (sonic, maximized, empowered) (DC40) (5d6+60)(1) Greater dispel magic(1) Transformation(1) Antimagic field(1) Superior resistance(1) Probe thoughtsLevel 5(3) Wall of force(2) Baleful polymorph(1) Draconic might(1) Mass fly(1) Greater enlarge person(1) Telepathic bondLevel 4(5) True strike (quickened)(3) Assay spell resistance(1) Improved invisibilityMagic ItemsThe web of motes, Mostin's infernal tower, mirror of mental prowess, cloak of epic spell resistance, Mostin's comfortable retreat, portable hole, robe of eyes, headband of intellect +10, belt of many pockets, bracers of armor +8, ring of death warding, ring of protection and resistance +5, stone of sendings, ioun stones (dusty rose prism, incandescent blue sphere, pale green prism, iridescent spindle, orange prism), spell talisman +50.NotesMostin gains the following Ioun stone benefits: +2 Wis; sustained without air; sustained without food or water; +1 to all Attack Rolls, Skill Checks, Saves and Ability Checks; +1 caster level; +1 insight bonus to AC.Mostin's ability scores each include a +5 inherent bonusEpic SpellsBurn the Body, Quicken the MindTransmutationSpellcraft DC: 123Components: Backlash 40d6Casting Time: 1 swift actionRange: PersonalTarget: YouDuration: 1 roundSaving Throw: NoneSpell Resistance: NoDevelopment: 1,107,000gp[Fortify] (DC23). Factors: increase bonus by +19 (+114 DC); swift, componentless (+32 DC). Mitigating Factors: reduce duration (-4 DC), change from target to personal (-2 DC), 40d6 backlash (-40).This impulse grants a +20 madness bonus to Intelligence for 1 round.ExternmentAbjurationSpellcraft DC: 130Components: V, SCasting Time: 1 standard actionRange: 75 ft.Target: One or more extraplanar creatures, no two of which can be more than 30 ft. apartDuration: InstantaneousSaving Throw: Will negatesSpell Resistance: YesDevelopment: 1,170,000gp[Banish] (DC 27). Factors: 1 action (+20 DC); +46HD (+23 DC); +20 to Save DC (+40), gain +20 on caster level check to overcome SR (+40 DC). Mitigating factors: 20d6 backlash (-20 DC).Targeted extraplanar creatures within 75ft totalling no more than 60 HD must make a Will Save (DC 40+ relevant modifier). Failure indicates that the target(s) are forced back to their home plane. For purposes of overcoming creatures’ Spell Resistance, this epic spell confers a +20 bonus to the caster level check. First Rite of CognitionTransmutationSpellcraft DC: 129 Components: V, SCasting Time: 10 minutesRange: PersonalTarget: YouDuration: 200 hoursSaving Throw: NoneSpell Resistance: NoDevelopment: 1,161,000gp[Fortify] (+17). Factors: +29 Int (+58), +900% duration (+36), +20 opposed CL (+40). Mitigating Factors: personal (-2), 10 minute casting (-20).The First Rite of Cognition grants a +30 enhancement bonus to Intelligence. Attempts to dispel the First Rite treat Mostin as 20 levels higher for purposes of opposed caster level checks. The First Rite is generally invoked once per week.Disjunction WardAbjurationSpellcraft DC: 130 Components: V, S, XPCasting Time: 10 minutesRange: TouchTarget: Creature or object touchedDuration: 24 hours or permanent; see textSaving Throw: NoneSpell Resistance: NoDevelopment: 1,170,000gp[Ward] (+14). Factors: nullify disjunction (+16), flexible (+10); Impregnable +80CLC (+160) or Enduring (x5). Mitigating Factors: 10 minute casting (-20), 5000XP.An object or creature touched is rendered immune to disjunction effects. This spell comes in one of two varieties, chosen at the moment of casting.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Impregnable Ward. This version lasts for 24 hours. Mostin is treated as a 111th level caster for purposes of opposed dispel effects.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Enduring Ward. This version is permanent.</li> </ul>Mhuerh ResonanceEvocation (Sonic)Spellcraft DC: 129Components: V, S, Backlash 40d6Casting Time: 1 standard actionRange: 300ft.Effect or Area: Ray or 20-ft. radius burstDuration: InstantaneousSaving Throw: None or Reflex half; see textSpell Resistance: YesDevelopment: 1,161,000gp[Energy] (DC19). Factors: 1-action (+20); +40d6 (+80), flexible (+10), increase die (+40). Mitigating Factors: 40d6 backlash (-40)With a gesture and a word, Mostin evokes the Mhuerh Resonance. He may target an individual or an area; in the case of a single target, Mostin must make a ranged touch attack: success indicates the target sustains 50d20 points of sonic damage with no saving throw. If he elects an area, no attack roll is necessary and all creatures are subject to the Mhuerh Resonance; in this case a Reflex save (DC47) halves the damage.Mostin’s Improved Flexible Pseudonatural SummonsConjuration (Summoning)Spellcraft DC: 134Components: V, S, XPCasting Time: 1 standard actionRange: 75 ft.Effect: One or more summoned pseudonatural creaturesDuration: 20 rounds (D)Saving Throw: NoneSpell Resistance: NoDevelopment: 1,206,000gp[Summon] (+14). Factors: 1 action casting time (+20), increase CR (+98), flexible (+10). Mitigating: Alien specialty (-5), 300XP"You possess a potential for horror which disturbs me."- Nehael. This spell summons a pseudonatural creature with a total CR not higher than 50, or two creatures up to CR 35, or four creatures up to CR25, or as many as six creatures of up to CR 20. Summoned pseudonaturals attack Mostin's opponents to the best of their abilities. He can direct the pseudonaturals not to attack, to attack particular enemies, or to perform other actions.Various pseudonaturals can be summoned by this spell. <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Ú: Advanced (100HD) spellwarped pseudonatural monster of legend shrieking terrors (CR50). Ús are from the Amplitudes of the Huhngs and exist on the periphery of Ghom's Infinity.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Vrittis of Ghom: Advanced (45HD) spellwarped pseudonatural monster of legend arcane oozes (CR 35) these are the unconscious mental effluvia of Ghom itself.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Cats: Advanced (36HD) elite pseudonatural dire tigers (CR25). Pouncing pseudonaturals.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Dogs: Advanced (14HD) elite pseudonatural runehounds (CR20). Able to follow magically concealed prey.</li> </ul>PilgrimageConjuration (Teleportation) Spellcraft DC: 134Components: XPCasting Time: 1 swift actionRange: 75 ft.Target: One living creatureDuration: Instantaneous; see textSaving Throw: Will negatesSpell Resistance: YesDevelopment: 1,206,000gp[Transport] (+27), [Ward] (+14). Factors: interplanar transport (+4), emulate dimensional anchor (+21), quickened (+28), componentless (+4), touch to target (+4), +20 Save DC (+40), metatemporal effect (ad hoc +20). Mitigating Factor: 2300XP (-23), Alienist specialty (-5).A creature affected by this spell is sent to a random Infinity in Uzzhin, the Far Realm, and is unable to exit that plane due to a special dimensional anchor effect. The anchor's duration is tied to the temporal trait of the original plane and not the destination plane (where the passage of time is meaningless); the duration is thus experienced as permanent for the targeted creature. Most creatures who enter Uzzhin do not retain their sanity. Elder Horrors and other powerful pseudonaturals are not subject to this spell; dream travel and gate may reverse its effects only if another metatemporal effect successfully dispels the dimensional anchor. The Save DC to resist Pilgrimage is 40+ relevant modifiers.Quiescence of the Spheres (Suite)AbjurationSpellcraft DC: 115Components: V, S, Ritual; see textCasting Time: 1 minuteRange: 2 milesEffect: 2 mile sphere centered on a point in space which inhibits dimensional travel Duration: 20 hoursSaving Throw: NoSpell Resistance: YesDevelopment: 1,035,000gp[Energy (Weather) (+25)], [Fortify] (+17), [Ward] (+14). Factors: emulate dimensional lock (+29), +20CL (+40), +20 vs SR (+40), resist disjunction (+16), flexible (+10). Mitigating Factors: 4 secondary casters using epic slots (-76).Upon invoking the Quiescence of the Spheres the air becomes still and an eery quiet descends upon an area with a radius of two miles. The spell completely blocks extradimensional travel. Forms of movement barred include astral projection, blink, dimension door, ethereal jaunt, etherealness, gate, maze, plane shift, shadow walk, teleport, and similar spell-like or psionic abilities. Once the Quiescence is in place, extradimensional travel into or out of the area is not possible. Disjunction is ineffective against the Quiescence of the Spheres; for purposes of opposed dispel effects and for creatures attempting to use spell resistance to bypass the locked area, Mostin is treated as a 51st-level caster. Quiescence of the Spheres does not interfere with the movement of creatures already in ethereal or astral form when the spell is cast, nor does it block extradimensional perception or attack forms. Also, the spell does not prevent summoned creatures from disappearing at the end of a summoning spell. Flexible provision in the spell allows any combination of ritual casters or XP burn to meet the required mitigation.Superb Dispelling (Suite)AbjurationSpellcraft DC: 129Components: V,S; see textCasting Time: 1 standard action; see textRange: 300ft.; see textTarget: 1 object, creature or spell; see textDuration: InstantaneousSaving Throw: NoSpell Resistance: NoneDevelopment: 1,161,000gp[Dispel] (+19), Factors: Flexible Suite (5 additional iterations) (+20), 1 action (+20), additional +70CL (+70).Principal abjuration suite. The base spell targets either a single creature, object or spell with a dispel check of 1d20+80 against a DC of 11+ the target's caster level. Exact spell parameters may be further varied at the moment of casting to yield a variety of different effects:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Area Dispel: All creatures, objects and spells within a 20-ft. radius burst are subject to the spell. Mostin sustains 10d6 backlash damage.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Focused and Agonizing Rite: The casting time of the spell is increased to 10 minutes and requires a cold iron material component worth 25,000gp. At the conclusion of the spell, Mostin sustains 60d6 points of backlash damage and pays 1600XP. The dispel check is made at 1d20+200.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Swift Dispelling: The spell is cast as a componentless, quickened spell. Mostin sustains 12d6 backlash damage.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Swift Barrage: This combines the area and swift options, above. Mostin sustains 22d6 backlash damage.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Tactical Suppression: The dispel check is reduced to 1d20+40 but the range is increased to 1200ft and the area is increased to include all creatures, objects and spells within a 200-ft radius burst. Mostin sustains 12d6 backlash damage.</li> </ul>Weird SoundEnchantment (Compulsion) [Death, Sonic, Mind-Affecting]Spellcraft DC: 132Components: V, S, 10,000XP, 40d6 backlashCasting Time: 1 standard actionRange: 75 ft.Effect: One living creatureDuration: InstantaneousSaving Throw: NoneSpell Resistance: YesDevelopment: 1,188,000gp[Compel] (DC19), [Ward] (DC14). Factors: 1 action casting time (+20), penetrate mind blank (+14), overcome DvR1 immunity to mind-affecting effects (+50), emulate power word kill (+31), increase cap by +400hp (ad hoc +124). Mitigating Factors: Burn 10,000XP (-100), 40d6 backlash (-40)A single living creature with 1 or fewer divine ranks and 500 hit points or less dies when targeted with the Weird Sound. Mind blank is ineffective against this spell. Target creatures receive no saving throw but spell resistance applies.**Ú, Untamed by GhomHuge Outsider (Augmented Aberration; Extraplanar)HD: 100d8+3100 (3900hp)Init: +26Spd: Fly 110ft.

On its next turn, as a standard action, an Ú can hurl a grappled opponent with a range increment of 120ft. Creatures hurled vertically take normal falling damage; creatures hurled horizontally sustain half the damage of a vertical fall of the same distance. If an Ú chooses to hurl an opponent at another creature, it may do so with a –4 penelty on its attack roll; if successful, both the hurled creature and the target sustain damage.Haste (Su): An Ú is permanently under this effect. Its stats reflect this.Hideous Form (Ex): Nonpseudonatural enemies suffer a –1 morale penalty on their attack rolls to hit an Ú.Improved Grab (Ex): If an Ú hits an opponent of size large or smaller with a tentacle, it deals normal damage and attempts to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity.Rotting Constriction (Ex): Once an Ú has hold of an opponent, each successful grapple check it makes during subsequent rounds permanently drains 2d4 points of Constitution.
