Surviving after getting disjoined

Oh, man, that's gotta be it. That ring of spell storing should have a maximized enervation: it'll get rid of all his ninth-level slots. (Yeah, an empowered enervation would be nice, but it won't be guaranteed to work). Have a cleric slap you with a death ward, just in case he has spell turning up.

Spell Turning won't affect Enervation.

And an irrelevant nitpick for the original poster, 'cos the thread title's annoying me - the verb is 'disjoin', not 'disjunct' ;)

Beware his SR from the monk levels - could complicate some answers a little?

Not sure if the psionics levels preclude you from taking them - and too lazy to check, but the chain of anti spellcaster feats might be nice (from Complete Arcane?). Ignoring a large number of his magical defenses could be fun?


Oh, and a minor thought. With that build, Expanded Knowledge: Psionic Lions Charge is your best friend?

Charge > Full attack. With leap attack?

Accelerated Action Elocator ability to get out of dodge afterwards.

= Ouchies?

Update, it's a Wizard 10/ Initiate of Sevenfold Veil 10 not Wizard 20, barred schools Evocation and Enchantment, specializing in Transmutation.

He's primarily focusing on his spellcasting.

It's full magic/psionics transparency. Would a kaleidoscopic doom affect an antimagic field type effect?

If he manages to disjoin most or all of my equipment, I won't be totally helpless, because, assuming I connect with a sizeable power attack, I wind up doing boatloads more damage on a charge, thanks to leap attack, skirmish, and bastard sword two-handedness.

Is there a psionic version of true strike out there?

Big assumption here. Assume his AC is somewhere between 40 and 50.

I think somehow pulling off a quickened true strike and then maximized enervation (or that other psionics thing that grants negative levels) Is the best bet. Make sure he can't use disjunction at all.

Ugh, that makes it tougher. Assuming he sets up indigo and violet veils, there's really nothing that will touch him except melee attacks (or touch spells) that reach through the veils, and you'd have to make tough will saves every time you reach through. There's also not much point in trying to knock down the veils -- he can bring up a fresh set as an immediate action and keep pounding you with spells in the meantime.

Fortunately, the IotSFV veils don't say that they're immune to antimagic fields like prismatic wall is, so I think that's your only option -- go in inside an antimagic field and hope you can out-melee the monk 20 half of his build.

Actually, back to the touch spell thing... I suppose you could go with a major ring of spell storing holding Otto's irresistible dance. In fact, if you can find a high-level sublime chord or a bard with sudden maximize, you could even get maximized otto's irresistible dance in there. That would give you time to knock down the veils and then beat on him for a little while. Perhaps bring a second ring to continue the effect after the first 5 rounds. Unfortunately, you'd still have to beat his SR (and pass the will saves for reaching through the veils) for that to work.
 

I'm considering getting leadership ... what sort of cohort should I go for?

Leadership score would be a minimum of 23, easily more than that, so the cohort is 16th or 17th level.

As for the ring of spell storing idea, I like it, and have an appropriate item.
To hit the monk/wizard, well, I've got an intelligent ring, special purpose may be to kill all except my char, as it has an tendency to put some effect, not sure what it is entirely, that's very much like true strike on him whenever he's attacking stuff, it is also treated, according to my DM, as an major ring of counterspelling (up to 10th), and a double strength major ring of spell storing, however, I have the sneaking suspicion that it has some powers not yet revealed. It's ego score is crazy high, so I'm glad that it tends to agree with the char most of the time.


Edit: Was reading up on IotSV, it's abilities are all spell-likes, so the antimagic field idea just became that much more useful. Outmelee him in antimagic? I would hope so, and worst case if I can't, I'm faster than he should be .. by a decent margin.
