View Full Version : Most Buffs Possible (and in one turn to boot)
Paragon

I'm building an Archivist/Runecaster thanks to Saintheart's handbook (https://forums.giantitp.com/showthread.php?296106-Runeblaster-A-Handbook-for-the-D-amp-D-3-5-Runecaster)on this forum as well as Mooncrow's (http://minmaxforum.com/index.php?topic=185) on MinMax and I'm finding myself in a pickle.
How do you optimize the buffing while avoiding the no stacking rule ?
IF you take the RAW meaning of free action (and I'm the DM with an NPC so as many as I want) how any buffs can I stack on the one final boss at once ? (limited to 7th level divine only spells ?

All are PHB or SpC unless marked:
Righteous Might
Divine Power
Infernal Transformation
Divine Favor
Barkskin
Magic Vestment
Greater Magic Weapon
Recitation
Divine Protection
Righteous Wrath of the Faithful
Shield of Faith
Holy Star
Divine Agility
Flame of Faith
Aura of Vitality
Rhino's Rush
Swift Haste
Charge of the Triceratops
Find the Gap
Resist Energy
Protection From Energy
Energy Immunity
Magic Circle Against Good
Bear's Endurance
Owl's Wisdom
Mass Aid
Superior Resistance
Death Ward
True Seeing
Wind Wall
Freedom of Movement
Spell Immunity
Spell Resistance
Longstrider
Owl's Insight
Bite of the Werebear
Sheltered Vitality
Greater Blindsight
Girallon's Blessing
Swift Fly
Lion's Charge
Brilliant Blade
Visage of the Deity
Greater Vigor
Conviction
Divine Insight
Hand of Divinity
Sign
Corrupt Weapon (see the Blackguard class entry)
Primal Instinct (DM)
Heart of Air/Earth/Fire/Water (CM)
Renewed Vigor (PHB2)
Hunter's Eye (PHB2)
Footsteps of the Divine (CC)
Surge of Fortune (CC)
Some of these partly overlap (for example Divine Favor and Recitation both provide a luck bonus to attack) but I'm pretty sure they all add something unique.
I don't know the Archivist very well, can they access domain spells? If so (Greater) Anyspell can get you a load more...

Archivists can access domain spells, but don't have any domain slots without further investment, which is a problem for the Anyspell line.
Also: No Delay Death or Favor of the Martyr?

Good catch with Delay Death, I missed that one. Favor of the Martyr did cross my mind but I didn't think a Paladin spell would be granted to someone evil even if they did have a scroll of it, although now I come to look again the OP never actually said the final boss was evil. Also I suppose there might be Paladins of Slaughter and Tyranny in the game...

Archivists can get any Divine spells they can source. They're not beholden to deities, even though their spellbook is called a prayerbook. They do NOT have the "can’t cast spells of an alignment opposed to his own or his deity’s (if he has one)." found in the Cleric or Druid's entry.

Thank you. I see why they're fourth-highest on the tier list now...
