[Epic] Beating high SR

[Archer]

A 3rd party product should just combine heighten and fortify into a single metamagic. I think Arcana Unearthed is supposed to condense the sprawl of metamagic and item creation feats.

 

[William Ronald]

One option to beat SR is to take a few levels of the archmage PrC and take Spell Power which now works against SR.

 

[Sollir Furryfoot]

AFAIK, Spell Power in 3e worked vs. SR, as well as DC.

 

[Xarls Taunzund]

Of course, blowing a 9th level spell slot only gains you 14d6 damage, which isn't a heck of a lot in an Epic setting.

True, but it requires an attack roll, and therefore you can get a critical hit with it. Not likely, but not to be overlooked.

 

[James McMurray]

Of course, the odds of a spellcaster getting a critical hit with a ranged attack are much lower than the odds of that same caster missin, and thereby comepletely wasting that 9th level slot.
