[QUOTE="Scion, post: 1230203, member: 5777"] So he has good saves? Big deal. It looks like he designed this character in such a way as for that to happen. Plus if he has a really high charisma he will be lacking elsewhere, along with the fact that those prestige classes hit him in other places. He has high saves, not high SR. If he makes every save 100% of the time good for him, that was probably one of his goals. So very many spells dont allow for saves though, or saves still have some other effect, or some other part of his character took a hit in order to get him there. Let him enjoy what he has. Getting high saving throws is one of the very lesser evils of the prc/multiclassing system. There are easy fixes to the latter, and as to the former.. It looks like a very high level character (I dont know what warmarshal is, sounds pretty cool, but contemplative requires a min level of 11) and that character is good at a few things. Nothing wrong with that. How would you feel about a paladin who had a cloak of resistance +5 and cha as his highest stat by far? Same situation, nearly unbeatable saves in most cases. Sorry if this came off rude or something :( I dont know anything about the rest of the character obviously, it just seems like a complaint that a character was designed to so something special, but might get shut down punitively at some point (like saying the two bonuses overlap rather than stack) and that bothers me quite a bit :( If the pc goes his entire carear to be good something, let them be good at that thing.
