Epic game: The Eye of Profane Truth (Full)

[Pyrex]

That's a matter of some debate.

As it stands though, all I've got is a periapt (headband) and a couple of rings which should be fine when Wildshaped.

Anyhow, I need to work on the prepped spells list and I'm not too happy with my item selection, but *shrug* I've posted a "finished" copy to the RG.

Steve Gorak, you'll need to do some revisions on your character, improved metamagic requires 30 ranks in Spellcraft, thus you have to be at least level 27 to take it.

 

[Pyrex]

But once you've *got* those 30 ranks in Spellcraft, Improved Metamagic it where it's at.

I mean, come on, who doesn't love Maximized Quickened Fire Storm as a 9th level spell?

Or Enhanced Maximized Quickened Flame Strike as a 7th level spell?

 

[Ferrix]

That is quite true.

Or, when combined with Improved Spell Capacity, Maximised Quickened Time Stop as a 12th level spell...

Jarval, who is in no way making a high-level wizard, no siree...

 

[silentspace]

yep, whatever you do, don't multiclass into something like assassin. it just makes no sense, from a power-gaming point of view...

so don't do it! unless... you just think it's kewl

 

[Jarval]

A few more questions for Rhket:

Can we take Boccob's Blessed Books for wizard's spell books? If so, can we assume that we've acquired some spells to put in them?

If characters have items like a Rod of Excellent Magic, can they have cast any permanancied spells before the start of the game, or any other spells with an XP cost of 2,000 or less?

Is there any point in taking Item Creation feats? I'm tempted to give my character Create Wondrous Item, but if there's not going to be any opportunity to use it, then I'll take something else in its stead.

Steve Gorak, you'll need to do some revisions on your character, improved metamagic requires 30 ranks in Spellcraft, thus you have to be at least level 27 to take it.

Done, thanks (I'm impressed, I would never catch these things!).
I just switched my 27 & 30th level feats around.

OK, if I haven't screwed too much the rules (as I tend to do), all I need to do is to select my spells and find a way to spend about 400 000gp.

Any suggestions are welcome (both for optimizing what I've already done and new ideas).
Thanks and cheers.

Interesting looking character. Lot of magic there

Unless I'm missing most of the equipment you've bought, shouldn't that 400,000 gp be more in the region of 4,000,000 gp?
