[QUOTE="noeuphoria, post: 2369194, member: 13395"] I currently play in an epic campaign as a wiz 8/Fatespinner 5/Initiate of the 7 veils 7. I designed my character as an ultimate defensive caster. With int 33, she can throw up veils that create a save DC 29-or-die effect on anyone who attacks her. And once or twice a game, using sudden metamagic feats and fatespinner abilities, she can create some truly godly effects like a maximized, fully spun sphere of destruction, doing a touch attack each round for 216 damage (fort save DC 35 to take only 30). One the other hand, in a recent fight, she was nearly taken out by some 10th level sahagin with tridents and nets (surprised). It's my experience that high-level wizards can do almost anything well if they prepare; so sometimes it seems like that makes them the best. My wizard, if prepared ([i]shapechange and limited wish for a divine power spell[/i] can be a great tank, or just a blaster. But, our sorceror can outblast me no problem, and our paladin/dragon slayer is still a better tank than me. It's the flexibility that's awesome, because the sorceror will always be a blaster, and the paladin will always only tank. [/QUOTE]
