Are those in complete mage? Most of the reserve feats I know are there, but I don't remember those names at all. (AFB)
This should work quite well. Thanks.
Isn't chain +5? Even with arcane thesis that makes it a 10th level spell. (Or is thesis -2, or chain +4? I don't use either much)
I probably will use the top build for the main NPC, and throw in a bunch of level 10 or so psions as back up. Assuming the 1D20+20 counts for countering spells as well.
