Fixing my saves
« on: March 17, 2011, 08:59:54 PM »
So, I'm in a level 33 gestalt game and everyone else has +80 to their saves, my best save is +30, any ideas how I can save my stupid saves.  :bigeye http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=281456

You appear to only have the base save bonuses of a 20th level druid.  What about your other 13 levels worth of saves?

Also, you need a way to get other ability scores added on, such as CHA like a paladin or hexblade.

But 5 levels of Warshaper?  Yuck.  Two levels?  Sure.  Three levels?  I can live with that.  All 5?  No thanks.

The 5 levels were for Multimorph, if you have another suggestion I'll take is though my dm brought the banhammer down on planar shepherd or I'd have taken it, also I added the +5 in misc fom epic levels, do I just put it in the base column?

A couple levels of Nature's Warrior or a single level of Fist of the Forest are good choices, or a level or two of Master of Many Forms.  Heck, a single level of Monk will benefit you more than Multimorph.  Or two levels of Unarmed Swordsage. ;)

As for the saves, casting Superior Resistance will give you a +6 resistance bonus to saves for 24 hours.  Actually, there is a thread around here someplace about all of the little items, feats, etc. that give boosts to saves.  I'll see if I can dig it up and link it.

Is there a way to take paladin without taking evil or good? I basically just need to keep a neutral component of my alignment to keep druid working.

There might be some neutral paladin hidden somewhere, but not that I'm aware of.

3 levels of Hexblade (which can be Neutral) will get you CHA to saves vs. spells and Mettle.

Blackguard is any Evil, so NE works. Their Dark Blessing gives Cha to saves like Divine Grace.
According to Crystal Keep, Dragon 310 has the following variants: Sentinel (NG), Incarnate (True Neutral), Enforcer (NE), Anarch (CN). Dragon 312 also has Corrupter (NE), and I could have sworn I saw a LN variant there as well.

Yeah, I figured Dragon might have some variants.  They tend to have an ACF for just about anything you can think of it seems.

Your best bet is to simply become immune to as much (read: everything) as possible.

A quick way to get a head-start on this is to become a necropolitan lernean lumi with a casting of haunt shift, a continual item of veil of undeath, one of ray deflection, and one of greater concealing amorpha. That alone will make you immune to nearly everything.

Necropolitan isn't kosher with Lumi out of the box.

How about custom magic items? An item that gives the benefits of Conviction (SpC) and Benediction (Comp.Champ.) should cost a trivial amount for a 33rd level character.

By that level, all it takes is a quick Polymorph Any Object to become humanoid for a few days, become a necropolitan, then dismiss the PAO.

Voila.

Note that Veil of Undeath isn't for turn undead, but rather for rebuking.

Viola!  You're back to normal, except a level lower, since PaO returned you to your original form.

I'm pretty sure becoming undead after dying isn't prevented by Polymorph Any Object.

What happens if you become a wight?
