Hmm... that sounds tough.First of all, I guess you will struggle on penetrating SRs of Dragons and Fiends. So many spells and feats for overcoming SR are added in later supplements. And so many non-SR damage spells are added, too. But you can't use them. +4 bonus from Spell Penetration and Greater Spell Penetration helps. But still, it may not be enough against SR value of CR 20+ creatures.So, when meeting creatures with high SR, you should better use well-selected No-SR spells in core, such as Glitterdust, Grease, Evard's Black Tentacles, etc. Many of them are not direct-damage spells. And you can't find such spells in every spell level. Thus, taking Heighten Spell feat will be a good idea.2nd, your party lacks versatility miserably, as a 20th-level party. Other than that new wild card player, you and that multi-classed divine caster are the only spellcasters. So you need Limited Wish at least. In 20th-level adventure, anything may happen. And it often happens that no one know nor preparing the exact spell to save the party from a certain situation.</blockquote>
