[QUOTE="Shard O'Glase, post: 710902, member: 1134"] I think the main thing people here have proved is two things. 1. A combo prstige class/feat oriented character toward one goal is too good at that goal. 2. save or dies suck. Yeah a 18th levle min/maxed wizard has a 35%chance to get a spell through a cr25 creatures defenses. Sorta like a 18th level fighter has what chance to hit and damage the dragon? The problem comes up when that get through spell ends the fight instead of just hurting the dragon. Of course if someone has death ward and protection form evil there virtually immune to all save or die spells. The only thing they ahve to worry about save or die wise is polymorphs. Get some energy drain proteciton and they can now totally ignore necromancy and enchantment spells. Without spellpower etc there are way too many creatures at high levels where the wizards just sits back and watches the battle. With spellpower there are way too many battles where the monsters need to roll a 20 to survive. [/QUOTE]
