[QUOTE="Pax, post: 940755, member: 6875"] Well, then ... thanks to my bad math ... make it "nearly 13,000" and un-spend 51,000 of those experience points. *poof* ECL 27 ... go Weapon Master(11)/Fighter(16), and pick up another fighter feat and another epic feat as well (if I were able to do that with Lohtek, I'd take Epic Leadership, to lift the 17ECL cap on his dire wolf cohort; I don't know what I'd take for the Fighter feat, though). For a spellcaster, consider Sorceror(13)/Incantatrix(10)/Archmage(4) [code][color=green] Race Bloodline of Fire Cha 1 Spellcasting Prodigy (Sorceror) Cha 3 Empower Spell Cha 6 Spell Penetration Cha 9 Greater Spell Penetration Cha12 Extend Spell Cha15 Maximise Spell Cha18 Repeat Spell Epc21 Increased Spell Capacity (10) Epc24 Increased Spell Capacity (11) Epc27 Epic Spell Penetration Archmage High Arcana Spellpower +1 Spellpower +2 Spellpower +3 Mastery of Elements[/color][/code] You have one "step" of Improved Metamagic from Incantatrix, which means those 11th level slots will let you do a Repeat Meteor Swarm, a Double-Extended Timestop (or just a maximised timestop), a Maximised Meteor Swarm, and so on. Or a Repeat/Repeat/Repeat/Repeat/Extended Melf's Acid Arrow. >8) One MAA attack per round for 5 rounds, and all last twice as long ... 26r per iteration. At the height of it, they're under 10d4 continuing damage, without you doing anything at all. With SP/GSP/ESP and Spellpower +6, you have +10 to spell penetration checks (ESP stacks with GSP ... seriously, it's even in the FAQ), so you're rolling 1d20+43 ... you'll laugh in the face of SR. And with such a low amount of money, high elemental resistances will not be coming into play; MAYBE, at most, you might see a Minor Ring of Universal Elemental Resistance (costs 144,000gp and gives Resistance (15) against all 5 elements). Spellcasters (including Psions, etc) have a definite and clear advantage in a low-money arena, so you either get on the bandwagon ... ... ot take the low-tech (a.k.a. "Lohtek") solution, and [i]obliterate the wagon itself![/i] :D [/QUOTE]
