I'm running a Half Satyr Bard/Sublime Chord who's about to hit 19th level.
As a Sublime chord the character gets a selection of Wizard/Sorcerer spells. A Bard, as the base class, says that that he's essentially two levels behind in spell levels. Therefore he's about to get his first 9th level spell, and one of only two he'll earn in our campaign.
Wish is an obvious choice, but unless he's going to be burning EP by the bucketload, it's not a spell he'll use more than a few times, ever.
I'm thinking of Gate, for pure versatility.
Shape Change is extremely broken, as you know, but a lot of that "broken" is already available through Polymorph Any Object. He can turn into practically anything, and the only thing he lacks is the ability to keep changing every round.
As a note: Our campaign has forbidden Teleport and it's near relatives (although Dimension Door is allowed). Same for Raise Dead, Resurrection and True Resurrection.
Now, knowing as I do that there are people here with far more extensive rule knowledge than I have, I thought I'd ask for some ideas.
