[QUOTE="Veril, post: 2539602, member: 33452"] Take the leadership feat, and get yourself a pet mystic theurge. You want someone who can buff you up, low level cleric and wizard spells are simply great for that. Shield of Faith, Entropic Shield, Bless, Stat buffs, prot vs evil, prayer, enlage, resist energy, blur, haste, fly, heroism, the list just goes on and on. A cohort gives you an extra action effectivly, sure you will need to kit him up, but your other party members can be pursuaded into giving you the higher leveled buffs, and your cohort can take a plethora of low levelled stuff instead - stuff that makes you great. A 10th level chort can be a 3wiz/3clr/4MTh, with 4th cleric and wizard spells. That's a great bonus for you. Oh, and he can always convert his cleric spells into cures :)) Because your cohort doesn't need to shine directly he doesn't need to load up on flashy offensive spells, let the 'real' wizard in the party do that, the buffing on you will more than make up for it. You are missing natural ac and deflection bonus' - getting some of those makes a big difference to your AC, and will reduce the damage you take. [/QUOTE]
