Hi.
This is another thread for getting advice for a character in the OotS-style webcomic, XPeditious Retreat, I'm trying to make.
So here's the character idea: Wizard 3/Druid 3/Arcane Hierophant 10/Mystic Theurge 8(ignoring actual advancement order). Yes, this is a 24th-level character with double 9ths. And yes, one of his feats will be Epic Spellcasting.
To be honest, thanks to the great handbooks for both Wizards and Druids, spell selection isn't going to be a real problem. Instead, I'm looking for help with this specific character's concept. Obviously, the main role for this guy is primary arcane/divine caster in his party(the legendary ECL 24 one I mentioned in the last thread I did for the Mo9 build), but I'm trying to be a little more specific.
Here's what I've been considering.
#Primary buffer
Well, duh. Considering that this guy's going to have a metric buttloads of spell slots from two different lists, I'd say that he'd be able to do this quite well.
#Summoning
From the arcane side we have Summon Monster. From the divine side we have Summon Nature's Ally. That's not counting spells like Planar Binding, Planar Ally, Summon Elemental Monolith, and Gate... Yeah, this sounds pretty good, but feedback is welcome.
#Wildshape
No. While I think that Arcane Hierophant should grant Wildshape with enough EDL(effective Druid levels), I don't think it's that fitting for this character... Or really that powerful, since at the end it's no less than 11 levels behind a straight Druid. It could be replicated with Shapechange or Polymorph, but I don't think it's going to be worth it.
#"Beastmaster"
This one the other hand, is much more appealing to me. The familiar companion gained from AH is nothing to sneeze at. Sure, Wild Bond and Theurgic Bond are going to be feat taxes, but this is both class features combined in one creature. Feedback is still welcome, though.
#Damage dealer
Well, probably secondary damage dealer. I think there was an epic feat that allowed you to cast two Quickened spells with one swift action, and spell slots is something this guy has plenty of, so...
All feedback is welcome.
