Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gaiden" data-source="post: 2144822" data-attributes="member: 103">The only game breaking thing about your character is your greatsword.  A +2 keen spellstoring greatsword is worth ~32k gp.  A 9th level character's wealth is at 36k gp.  Typically you are not supposed to own anything over half your total wealth meaning you have a weapon suitable for an 11th level character.However, its only a virtual +4 sword.  Seriously, whatever.The fact that it is spellstoring synergizes extremely well with your character but that is not a balance concern.  To be honest, I would consider your character to be fairly average for a 9th level PC (no offense) and a far cry from game breaking.  You're looking at...what, about a +14 to +18 to attack depending on your buff spells and conditions.  That's about right for a melee type of your level.  Moreover, if you are sacrificing spells with arcane strike you are looking at perhaps a maximum of ~38 extra damage and if you don't power attack probably closer to 17 to 18 (accounting for misses).  The average damage from a 9th level fireball is around 32.  The problem in your group might lie within the experience of the other players and generating characters as opposed to your par power level.  That or your DM is not playing the bad guys smartly:  if they know they are up against a buffer, they ought to be sending their mooks to eat up all of your power so that when they face you, you are all out of spells to expend for your abilities.Oh and with a normal AC of 15 at 9th level, I'd be exceedingly careful.  Even when buffed, I presume your AC doesn't top out anywhere close to 24+ which is the ideal for a frontline fighter type.  Your hit points would last you a few rounds in combat with some dire apes, giants, or anything else that hits often and hits hard.</blockquote>
