[QUOTE="'o Skoteinos, post: 169520, member: 422"] [b]The *real* DC smackdown[/b] I just lost my post (and I’m really angry about that), so this one is just functional, not really much explaining: The DC 48 smackdown was nice, but not impressive: my 0th level spells have that DC...:) Human from Thay Nec 5 / Sha 1 / Red 10 / Acm 4 Int 18 (Base) + 2 (Spellcasting Prodigy) + 6 (Headband of Intellect) + 5 (Inherent) + 5 (Levels) + 3 (Age) + 2 (Lich) = 41 (+15) Feats: 1 Tattoo Focus 1 Spellcasting Prodigy (Wizard) 3 Shadow Weave Magic 5 Heithen Spell 6 Craft Wonderous Items 9 Spell Focus (Necromancy) 12 Spell Focus (Enchantment) 12 Skill Focus (Spelcraft) 15 Greater Spell Focus (Necromancy) 18 Silent Spell DC: 10 (Base) + 15 (Int) + 6 (Archmage Spellpower) + 5 (Red Wizard Spell Power) + 4 (Greater Spell Focus) + 3 (2 doses of Panaelo [Drug from LoD]) + 2 Spell Enhancer [Spell from MoF]) + 1 (Tattoo Focus) + 1 (Shadow Weave Magic) + 9 (Spell Heightened to 9th level) = 56. It is possible (with a little loose interpretation of the rules) to reach DC 57: Start as a Sun Elf (+2 Int), then take the exact same path (except for the Tattoo Focus). On 6th level, find a high level Red Wizard who initiates you into his circle (if necceccary, Polymorph into a human). Then, continue with the levels + feats as a human. The +2 Int gives you one more DC, reaching DC 57. DCs: 0: 48 (Elminster needs a 31 to save :D) 1: 49 2: 50 3: 51 4: 52 5: 53 6: 54 7: 55 8: 56 9: 57 [/QUOTE]
