Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jack Simth" data-source="post: 2380199" data-attributes="member: 29252">You might get the epic feat Spontaneous Domain Access (Healing) so that you can spontaneously heal on Domain spells to do the Empowered/Maximized thing from your PrC.If you are going Epic Leadership, you will likely want to look into Epic Spellcasting - especially the Ritual mitigating factor - you will have lots of followers anyway, and as a cleric, it's likely that many of these followers will be low-level clerics themselves; 30 2nd level spell slots from your 3rd level followers gives a -90 to the spellcraft DC's. Make it take an extra 10 minutes and you tack another -20 on, for -110 DC. Let's see... assuming a leadership score of 40 (chances are it WILL be higher....), you will get 1000 lvl-1 followers, 100 2nd, 50 3rd, 25 4th, 13 5th, 7 6th, 4 7th, 2 8th, and 1 9th - if 1/4 of them are either wizards or clerics, you can get.... 275 1st level slots, 18-20 2nd level slots, 4-6 3rd level slots, 1-2 4th level slots, and perhaps a 5th level slot for your ritual. That's -275 DC for the 1st, -54 to -60 for the 2nd, -20 to -30 for the 3rd, -7 to -14 for the 4th, and 0 to -9 for the potential 5th; bringing them all together, you can get -356 to -388 to spellcraft DC's for Epic spells just from making it a ritual with your followers. Make it take an extra 10 minutes (hey, it will take a while to gather all your followers in one place anyway....) and that's another -20 on top. A permanent (*5) Ward (+14) against Disjunction (9th level spell, +16), Greater Dispel Magic (6th level spell, +10), Dispel Magic (4th level spell, for a Druid, +6), and AntiMagic Field (8th level, for a straight cleric, +14) would have a base DC of 5*(14+16+10+6+14)=5*60=300. You can mitigate that all the way down to 0 with ritual participants from your leadership, and then you won't have to worry about most dispell attempts. Additionally, with a final spellcraft DC of 0, it costs you no gold nor xp nor time to create the epic spell. And the next day, you can do some other nifty permanent-buff epic spell (all your followers are already present, you see....). Of course, your DM might just nerf that (with cause - that's downright abusive).</blockquote>
