hello ladies gentlemen and household pets with awaken cased on them.
i seen countless builds online that push a caster to being level 9/9, (equivalent 18/18)
this is impressive but i find that you are missing out a fer few spells a day and although
the spells a day limit can be increased getting more efficient levels is a real help.
so i made my own build that can achieve 9/9/9/9 (each of them is equivalent 20)
and has a bardic knowledge and level ability that lets you play as the god emperor of man kind.
First
accept that there are going to be some flaw involved 5 of them in face,
and i know flaws are the worst thing in the world DM side,
but PC's there the difference between can and cant on epic builds,
although with out them the build can only achieve all 16 equivalent,
or skipping the classes that grant the nice abilities I'm using.
Race
for the Race you MUST play as a Illumian from Races of Destiny,
they get a lot of nice flavor in there set up all we care about is this
''Power Sigils (Su)''
that you get at first and second level each time chose Krau,
to get a handy +2 bonus to you spellcaster level
(yes that right +2 to the amount of spell you can cast and know)
now we've got that onto the next bit
The Classes
for divine i chose 'Faith Caster' is a spontaneous caster,
this'll help in later levels as we cant afford quickened arcane/divine magic
with out silly numbers of flaws,
'Sorcerer' is the arcane portions for the same reason as above
i use 'Erudite' in this build as its a psion(or at least a psion variant)
with no limit to what can be learnt in total
to be the emperor don't we
And a 'Incarnate' because prestige's that increase caster level
also affect this class as well,
that and i love to have a billowing clock of flames.
the prestige can be done in almost any order but some have opposing required,
so you need to find the right order (by the way there is one)
so in no particulate order 'Fochlucan Lyrist' is in for a token Bardic knowledge and bardic music,
it might not be much but Bardic powers are helpful for and Cha based character.
'Arcane Hierophant' also gains a token level although it cost you your familiar for a Companion familiar,
it gives you 'ignore arcane spell failure'
so you can be a magi in plate mail
'Divine Oracle' 's there to give you a dodge chance that anyone would fall in love with.
'Harper Paragon' is there to give you preferred enemy (EVIL),
that's 1/3 of all alignments you're now specialized against.
and then polished of with 'Heart Warder' for huge bonus to you Cha
The Core Classes
faith caster 2 (Path of Faith p87)
sorcerer 2 (PH)
Incarnate 2 (MoI)
Erudite (variant psion) 2 (CP)
The Prestige Classes
Fochlucan Lyrist 1 (CAd)
Arcane Hierophant 1 (RW)
Divine Oracle 2 (CD)
Harper Paragon 2 (PG)
Heart Warder 6 (FP)

Feats
all of the following are ether required to make the build reach straight 20's or there a
Prestige classes requirement and this is with the least requirement in feat's possible
Dodge (PH)
Mobility (PH)
Exotic Weapon Preference (Whip) (PH) (yes i know a whip's a little girly
but what can you do about it other than request
your DM allows the class to use a claymore)
Skill Focus (Knowledge [religion]) (PH)
Sacred Vow (BE)
Vow of Obedience (BE)
Lost Traditions (to become Cha based) (Bastards & Bloodlines)
Practiced Spell caster x3 (once per spellcaster involved) (CAr)
Practiced Manifester (and for the psion variant involved) (CP)
Alternate Spell Source (Dragon #325) (the only feat that is optional
in this build that i recommend you take unless you insane or don't like having hundreds of spells)
Outcome
This gives you a magi that can dodge almost any airier affect spell even if wearing armor,
that doesn't even cause an Arcane failure chance, and so much Charisma that's its redundant per epic,
and the ability to mack anyone love you.
The best part is the core classes are interchangeable with any other core caster class that whoever using this can decide
wile enjoy as equivalent caster level of 80.
If you give this build some Orange Ioun Stone Orange for +1 caster level to each casting class, giving you a. . . .
(I'm not sure so i put all possibility i want the 3rd one the correct,
bit think the second one the correct way or aplying the rulling)
+4 if it just affect's core classes ones.
+7 if it affect's all classes equally.
+24 if it affect's all classes Prestige's as leveling them up would.
that's a CL 80 + Orange Ioun Stone's (say 10) x 4 or 7 or 24
giving you a CL of 120 or 150 or 320
(Hmmm.. maybe i should give this a name with pun in it)
the variant class of this build is to just take 'Mystic Theurge' and 'Fochlucan Lyrist' as the Prestige classes then to use those 7 feats you save take an additional flaw to get a feat combos
Quicken Spell,Silent Spell,Still Spell,
innate Spell x2 (Wish/miracle)
Supernatural Transformation x2 (Wish/miracle)
or as before take 'Mystic Theurge' and 'Fochlucan Lyrist' as the Prestige classes and then remove the flaws as there no longer needed.
now and cheat wishes with the Feats Eschew Materials, Ignore Material Components and claim to have used Power Components when casting.
after selecting a variant class commence devalue Wish and miracle to a point where there the essay way of spell casting.
(n wait its variant's are the puns)
Enjoy and mack your DM cry the next time you play epic
