[QUOTE="Nephtys, post: 5548801, member: 31780"] My main problem with my build is that it's very weak against spellcasters. Sure I can buy items that grant immunities against most effects, and her saves will be decent. But her SR is terrible for her ECL and I don't think the rules allows it to stack with magic items, so a cleric with Holy Word and a few boosts to Spell Level will kill her instantly (and it's not a "Death" effect so Deathward is no help even if there's a statted item somewhere that grants it.) Also, without the Epic feat of Devastating Critical (and even with it most opponents will be immune to crits) her only major trick is Improved Grab and grapple. Freedom Of Action or any number of magic effects protect against that so the only way to make it work is by using an Antimagic Field. I've played a few Epic spellcasters and I know just how powerful they are, Antimagic Field or Disjunction are pretty much the only ways to beat one. And Quickened scrolls are so very expensive. - The item rules certainly makes things easier, although it requires a lot of digging trough the books. [/QUOTE]
