[QUOTE="Folly, post: 4118519, member: 62919"] The key to my idea is that Chain Dispel has a number of targets equal to caster level. This circumvents the metagame issue of knowing which items are providing the bonuses you want to get rid of. You hit all the key slots and shut down everything. So if you use one to get buffs, one on each ring (prot and freedom), one on boots (haste or fly), one on cloak, one on vest, one on head, one on gloves(dex), one on bracers(archery), one on neck(con/natural), one on bow, and one on quiver you still have 3 to 6 to put on the rest of the party. Given you might not be able to target the rings, neck, or vest depending on how you interpret line of effect / line of sight.
