Improved Combat Expertise from Complete Warrior?

Hmm... I have no idea how to judge how much to take away from my BaB, though. I mean, what's a good bet? 5? With AC of 32, is +5 enough to bring me to safe levels?

Not really. I assume it can be higher properly protected, though.

Forgot Calleigh's 30 HD feat! Taking Psymbiot from Complete Psionic.

Dune, what do you think of Keen Intellect from Oriental Adventures?

Benefit: You may use your Intelligence modifier instead of your Wisdom modifier when making Heal, Sense Motive, Spot, or Survival checks. You may also use your Intelligence modifier instead of Wisdom when making a Will saving throw.

Moore and Tryll, I have something I'd like the two of you to fill out.  Same reasoning as the previous post.

1. I'm starting fresh and building something strong. I'll need allies for sure. Who and what realms do I want as allies?
I'll be looking for the eclectic, eccentric, and strange. Anyone who would fit in at the Court of Stars is who I want. The lost, the driven, and the chromatically-challenged. Might take some time to do charity work for that Lathander guy, we owe him a bushel basket of favors. Also, Selune and Ilmater just because.

Actually, considering we could be used to clear any hospital in an hour, Ilmater's priests would probably adore us.

Quote2. I've seen that Creation has some really horrible things in it. As I accomplish my goals, who in particular do I really want to stop?
Shar's gotta go. Probably Pale Night, too. Just because of the eladrin thing a while back. Was a dick move.

Quote3. Aurora won! Yay! Am I worried Hell will exact reprisals on me and am I doing anything about it?
CONSTANT VIGILANCE! Any time we leave Lifasa, we're exceptionally aware of our surroundings! You never know who might be an undead spy working for the demon lord wannabe, Lixer! Go for the eyes and use force effects on everyone you meet, just to be certain!

Quote4. How people view me is important, right? What sort of reputation do you think you have now?
I'm assuming that people are starting to know that Calleigh and her flying cloud of mist/tremendously clever and witty giant ghost-squid boss are both good people and Good People. With any luck, we won't have to live homeless on the streets of Brightwater again any time soon! Nice!

All of those make sense.

To be fair, a high level cleric of Ilmater could clear a hospital in an hour, too. Or a healer. But yeah, those aren't exactly common.

Sounds good.

Shoot 'em all and let the DM sort out the bodies, huh?

Indeed. If nothing else, you'll have plenty of places to stay in Lifasa.

Okay, I'd like a status report of how everyone's doing with their sheets. Are you done? Are any changes in the offing? Ect ect ect. Talk to me, since I'm looking at a start date.

Mostly done. Looking for ways to shore up my defenses. I've got 40k in gold, and my AC is now 38, and my Will save is 23. My HP is bad, and I lack evasion. Suggestions? I've also got the cloak of minor displacement going. Other than poking at that, my actual character sheet is finished.

Epic Mage Armor is obvious, that's a huge AC bump for most casters.

Yeah, I planned on it. It sorta renders the armor I bought useless, which is why I asked about paying for a different type of Armor Bonus on it instead of just Enhancement.

If I rely on EMA, though, it can be dispelled. And Alyssa is nowhere near as good at defending against that as Surraruthru was. And for someone who's whole thing is survival/exploration, that's a bit of an issue. So at this point, while I'll use it and probably rely on it, it doesn't feel like a suitable answer.

Short term I'd consider shelling out for a +6 con booster for now, the extra HP isn't a bad idea since you're having defense problems. Your belt is +4, right?

I'd make a longer term goal to boost your defenses and get helpers.

Even if I sold my armor back, I'm at 76,175gp. I'm not trying to get end point gear right now. So if you think what I've got makes me survivable, I'll just save the cash for use later.
