[QUOTE="Pax, post: 1453197, member: 6875"] Here are the three epic spells the character used to boost his intelligence. I used three seperate spells, mainly to keep the DC's manageable; at higher levels, you could probably just merge them into a single spell. Note, the XP cost to cast each of these is covered by using a Rod of Excellent Magic; it ups the GP cost to be able to use these spells by a considerable amount, but, really saves on the XP hit in return ... Note, the above were built for an arena with a +30 cap on the benefits to any single attribute from any single epic spell. Positign the same character at ECL50, with his then-pre-enhanced Intelligence score of 35, a +30 enhancement-to-spellcraft item, and the Rod of the Epic Spellcaster, along with 53 ranks of spellcraft, I'd be able to easily make a DC of 125 (spellcraft total of +115). So, I [b]could[/b] simply have done: Then, after casting that, I'd have an intelligence of 102(+46), raising my Spellcraft check to +153 (make DC 163 with ease), so I could add: That'd result in an intelligence of 132, which is an [b]ungodly[/b] number of bonus spells per day (note the duration ... from this, you WOULD get bonus spells, [b]if[/b] you remembered to cast it every day to ensure it was in continuous effect on your person ...); you'd get 15 bonus spells each for levels 1 through 4, 14 bonus spells each for levels 5 through 8, 13 bonus spells or levels 9 through 12, 12 bonus spells for levels 13 through 16, and so on. Your base spell DC, for a 0-level spell without any feats, would be 71 (!!). At epic levels, pushing that to an 80 would be no problem at all - giving you a save DC of 90 for your Epic spells (!!). Scary, isn't it? [/QUOTE]
