from my reading it is that you raise your caster level and are stunned for that many rounds. That increase is limited to up to +3. However when using the feat it removes the cap on the spell entirely.

12th level wizard casts fireball: it deals 10d6
12th level wizard casts fireball while increasing his CL by 1 with this feat: it deals 13d6 and he is stunned for 1 round.

That is what i see when i read it. Good thing it said "increase cl by 1,2, or 3" because if it said "increase by up to 3" i would use it on every spell ever for +0 cl to uncap the dice.

I was going to ask why you couldn't do it, then I saw your point.

Still, if you can't be stunned, you only take 1d6 damage from raising it by one, it's an awesome deal.

EDIT: Also, remember myself to tuck in Tainted Scholar.

Gendou Ikari is basically Gregory House in Kaminashades. This is FACT.

What would be some easy ways to become immune to stun, even if only temporarily, in order to keep your character up and running?

Favor of the Martyr spell in the spell compendium is the easiest way, but it is a paladin spell.

Dispelling isn't the main issue, getting around MDJ and potentially AMF is. At these levels, MDJ is the FREAKING COMBAT OPENER.
Carry around one of the crappier minor artifacts.  Nobody's willing to risk losing spellcasting.

Isn't there a spell that makes you auto-roll 20s though?  At DC 25, the only concern is rolling a 1.

Getting debuffed is actually the major concern here. I don't think Epic weapons can be disjoined.

Kuroimaken, for those last three levels, I nominate at least 1-2 of them for Tainted Scholar :P  You have unbeatable CL, why not have unbeatable DC's with NI spells/day?  :P

Messing around with a build based off some of the information gathered in this thread. However, I'm stuck with one question: How exactly does Tainted Scholar get NI spells/day. I must have missed something when looking it over. As a similar question, are there any other ways to boost spells/day other than stat increase?

A tainted scholar gets bonus spells based on taint. Outsiders and undead are immune to the effects of high taint. Inflate your taint for NI spells per day.

A gygaxian dungeon is like the world's most messed up game show.

Behind door number one: INSTANT DEATH!
Behind door number 2: A magic crown!
Behind door number 3: 4d6 giant bees, and THREE HUNDRED POUNDS OF HONEY!
They don't/haven't, was the point. 3.5 is as dead as people not liking nice tits.

Sometimes, their tits (3.5) get enhancements (houserules), but that doesn't mean people don't like nice tits.

Though sometimes, the surgeon (DM) botches them pretty bad...
Best metaphor I have seen in a long time.  I give you much fu.
Three Errata for the Mage-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Barbarian-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Monks doomed to die,
One for the Wizard on his dark throne
In the Land of Charop where the Shadows lie.

Rather, only undead and creatures with the [Evil] subtype are immune to the negative effects of taint.  Therefore, with NI Taint score (and none of the penalties, due to being Undead or [Evil]) a character has NI Bonus Spells Per Day.

+1 Defending/+1 XXXXX Quaterstaff with 2x Checkmate's Light gives 12601 to AC and saves. (XXX is the defending equivalent of saves, it exists I'm just to lazy to find it)

Sorry for more questions but I can't seem to find anywhere the 'defending equivalent of saves' for a weapon enhancement. Can anyone help me out?
