[QUOTE="Shard O'Glase, post: 447374, member: 1134"] a post here reminded me SR and saves thing for wizards can be a big issue at epic levels as I understand it. I'm not sure how bad it gets, but if you start as a sun elf(20 int), take magic prodigy, archmage prestige class(take all the spell power boosts) spell penetration, greater SP, and epic SP, and take your pick of other spell power prestige classes(elementalist one is T&B gives +3 over 10 levels(for your eleemnt), shadow mage in forgotten realms the same(for shadow spells), red wizzard gives up to +5, I think some other prestige class also gives +5ish arcane devotee or something. Anyways you can end up getting fairly easily by 20th level +10 to spell penetration rolls, maybe up to +15, by 30th level you probably could have in the range of +18-20 for a 1d20+38-40. I'm not sure how that would stack up against the SR at those epic levels but it might cover it.(oh and if there is an epic version of the archmage its +spell power things might get even sicker) And your save DCs easily can be 30ish for a 1st level spell again not sure if that even is useful or not, but if you focus on it and maybe at epic levels you have to you can get your SR checks and save dcs up fairly high.
