Mr.Black said:When they stat her out, I hope she is impressive (perhaps even over the top). I'd prefer to see her as a wizard, if only to give her maxed out Knowledge: the Planes. An intelligence 34 would work (18 start, +5 Tome, +5 level bumps, +6 headband of intellect). A decent constitution is also desirable, around 22 (16 start, +6 amulet of health). An okay charisma would be nice but not necessary, just for the guys who always ask "what's her charisma?" Epic spells would be awesome, particularly some demon themed ones. In the Epic handbook, I think that Mordenkainen was the only spellcaster who actually had epic spells. As for prestige classes, I think Loremaster and Archmage might fit her well, although if she were a real twink she'd go for Fatespinner and Divine Oracle. However, no demonologist, that class is terrible. If I could pick her items, they'd include a cloak of resistance +5, rod of absorption, cube of force, and some metamagic rods.
I think I'd make her a conjurer, what with her whole summoning and binding history. I'd keep it simple with the PrC's, probably just archmage -- I like the loremaster angle, but I see her as more of a doer than a researcher, and I don't see any other PrC's that fit the notion of spellcasting above all (i.e. full caster) with binding and manipulating outsiders. And archmage fits well with Greyhawk. I think I'd make her mid-20's level, say 24, and give her Improved Spell Capacity twice and Epic Spellcasting, then use AcM spell-like ability to have greater planar binding 4/day (using one of those 11th level slots) -- I like the notion of her starting the day by summoning up 4 18-HD outsiders to serve her, maybe each one has a couple class levels to serve some particular purpose. And maybe give her the fiendish or half-fiend templates through her decades of exposure, or from an epic spell of transformation. As for magic items, I think they need to be something special, something to boost her summoning/binding abilities, maybe something which raises that 18-HD limit on greater planar binding or gives a big bonus on the opposed check, or something to negate the XP cost of gate. And I would definitely give her some unique epic spells.
