[QUOTE="jabberwocky, post: 1491896, member: 2929"] Using non-core WoTC material, this is the best i could come up with: Human Sorceror 10/Exalted Arcanist 5/Archmage 5 Feats: Lvl 1:Jinnbond (Djinni), - from the Greyhawk regional feats in Dragon 319 and gives you a +2 DC with Fire spells Lvl 1: Purify Spell Lvl 3: Consecrate Spell Lvl 6: Spell Focus (good) from BoED +2 DC for good spells Lvl 9: Spell Focus (Evoc) +1 DC for evocation Lvl 12: Spell Focus (one other) or GSF (evoc) if the DM allows Spell Focus (good) to count for the Archmage requirements. Lvl 15: skill focus (spellcraft) Lvl 17: (not a feat) Mastery of Elements High Arcana Lvl 18: Elemental focus (also from Dragon 319) +1 DC Fire spells or GSF (evoc) if you had to take a different SF at Lvl 12 DC from feats: +7 (+2 evoc, +2 good, + 3 fire) Cha: 34 (start 18 +5 Inherent + 6 Enhancement + 5 level up) +12 DC Total DC: 29+Spell level How it works: The feats work together because purify or consecrate spell give the metamagicked spell the (good) descriptor, and they can be cast as a standard action as a class feature of the exalted arcanist, and lastly any damaging evocation spell can be changed to fire with the archmage ability. So for any blasty energy evocation spell you can have a Save DC of 29+Spell level, by using a slot one level higher than normal and changing the energy type to fire, with the added bonus that half of the resulting damage will be divine and not subject to energy resistance (from consecrate spell). It even sort of makes sense as a coherent character - a wielder of divine fire type of thing. Unfortunately, it only works for a Good Baklunish Sorceror. [/QUOTE]
