So I am building the main villan for my campaign. I actually already have a straight caster version which is highly optimized. But after this last game on sunday I decided to go with a Gish. I would like to make it a ECL 21 or 22. And all of my players have highly optimized characters.. so Im really not afraid of going overboard.
So what I am asking for is some build advice, or maybe some nasty tricks to pull out. The goals are 9th level spells, bab 16.. the usual gish goodness.
The builds I am thinking of at the moment are:
1) rage mage. possibly using spelldancer for persisting? i wanted to base it off a frenzied berserker so that the BBEG couldnt die from dmg. idk what the level prog might look like.. or if it is even possible to get 9th level spells while getting frenzied berserker/rage mage going. but the idea i have in my head is going for the dex berserker via frantic rage or w/e. having him pwning my players while not being able to die from dmg. and using two familiars to ready actions for dispelling, while having abunch of persisted goodness.
2) (and i really need advice on this one)
A ghost build. Iv never really built a ghost.. but I have seen afew very well done builds with it. IDK where to even start with a ghost/gish.. So this one is open for build advice and tactics
Ok my friends I look forward to your replys. thanks for your time
