[QUOTE="andargor, post: 1418726, member: 7231"] Hmm. Interesting point. However, I haven't had much problems beating SR until now. Maybe that will change in Epic. It's just that 9th level slot that annoys me... And the ranged touch attack. My BAB is not going to get much better, and even if it's touch AC, I'm going to have problems. So what you are saying is, instead of taking long duration spells that will end up lasting all day anyway with a normal slot, take instead the short duration spells at the highest spell level that I would memorize anyway. There's a certain logic to that, since 9th level slots are scarce. Ah, I knew it would come to items, eventually. :) The problem is that we are in a low to mid magic world. There are very few places where we can buy items, and they have very limited stock. Actually, only recently have we found our first place to exchange our useless stock of items for something better, and even then were not able to conclude the deal (long story). The only items my character has are [i]Boots of Levitation[/i], a [i]Ring of Armor +4[/i], a [i]Brooch of Shielding[/i] and a [i]Wand of Fireballs[/i], not counting the scrolls he scribed himself. I would kill for a [i]Pearl[/i], or even a low power [i]Headband of Intellect[/i]... I have half a mind of burning mega XP when I get [i]Wish[/i]... But I digress... When I hit 10th ES, I get immunity to fire, stunning, paralysis, poison, flanking and critical hits. Vulnerability to cold will be a problem, that's why [i]Energy Immunity[/i] is interesting. I daily cast [i]Energy Buffer[/i] and [i]False Life[/i]. I have [i]Contingency: Stoneskin[/i] running all the time. The [i]Moment of Prescience[/i] suggestion is really great. Allows me to avoid those "bad luck" rolls. The prerequisites are "Quicken Spell, ability to cast 9th-level arcane or divine spells". Andargor [/QUOTE]
