[QUOTE="Janos Audron, post: 849146, member: 4649"] [b]Arcane DC Smack[/b] [b][i]The *Almost* Insane DC Smack[/i][/b][i][/i] [b]Intro:[/b] Caliban reaching DC 48 was good, me getting it to 57 was better. Sollir beat us both by getting DC 72. However, those saves could be made by the Save Smackdown Character. Using this Smack, even that character just has a 5% chance to save against any 0th level spell. [b]Summary:[/b] Using Oriental Adventures and taking the Maho-Tsukai class, it is easy to get a very high DC. The trick is getting your Taint skyhigh, and for that, you need lots and lots of Wisdom. [i]The Smack:[/i] [b]Classes:[/b] Maho-Tuskai 14 / Archmage 2 [b]Important Stats:[/b] Wisdom 18 (start) +2 (Racial from being Vanara) +6 (Periapt of Wisdom) +5 (Inherent) +4 (level) +3 (Age) = 38 Wisdom. [b]Level progression:[/b] Start as a arcane spellcasting class. When you reach 6th level trade your levels in whatever casting class for levels in Maho-Tsukai. Go up to 14th level in Mho-Tsukai. Make sure you aren't very tainted, since you need to make the will save to switch classes. Take two levels of Archmage for Spellpower 1 and 2. Acquire, by using spells 75 Taint (and thus getting a 37 pentaly on your Wisdom, making you almost insane). [b]Items:[/b] Periapt of Wisdom +6 Tome of Wisdom +5 Amulet of the Arcanist Other DC boosting items to raise your DC even further. [b]DC so far:[/b] 10 (base) + 75 (Taint) + 3 (Spellpower) + 2 (Amulet) + Spell Level. [b]Final DC's:[/b] Level 0: 90 Level 1: 91 Level 2: 92 Level 3: 93 Level 4: 94 Level 5: 95 Level 6: 96 Level 7: 97 Level 8: 98 Level 9: 99 Note: This is the DC for *all* your spells. Using Spell Focus (required for Archmage PrC anyway) and Greater Spell Focus, you have a DC of 103 in those schools. [/QUOTE]
