Loremaster Secret selection

[Hypersmurf]

I've already got a permanent See Invisible, have since 10th level. This would also work for Protection from Arrows and Detect Magic.

Of course, having to pay the XP again any time they get dispelled sucks

My reading of the feat (range must be personal or fixed) is that it would not work for Protection from Evil (touch), Haste (range close), or improved invisibility (touch).

Improved Invisibility is "personal or touch". If you cast it as a Personal, no problem.

-Hyp.

Dragons and Drow? You're facing some high Spell Resistance creatures. I suggest Greater Spell Penetration.

Just wondering - are you aware that Loremasters can identify items (I think) as a standard action? (It may be a bit longer, but not a full day for sure).

I only ask because you have mentioned several times that the reason why you don't make magic items or identify items is time. The logical conclusion is that you are choosing the PrC which will bypass this time constrain - but you have never explicitly stated that.

Yes, I am looking forward to the Lore (Bardic Knowledge) and Greater Lore (Identify) abilities. Unfortunately, it will be a while before I get 6 levels of Loremaster for the Greater Lore ability.

Finally made my decision. I went with Applicable Knowledge: Silent Spell.

The main reasons are:

• I already have Spell Penetration so I have a better chance than anyone else in the group to penetrate SR. If I can't penetrate it, the group is much better off assuming the creature is basically immune to spells.
• No one else in the group has Silent Spell. It strikes me as something that can be a life saver. I'm thinking that I will just always carry a Silent Dispel Magic and Silent Dimension Door.
• Given the campaign, it seemed like the best investment at this time.

Thanks again to everyone who commented on this thread.
