Shopping list help?
In one of my current campaigns, my character is "The Chosen One". The bad news is that we have maybe two sessions before the climactic battle, and the entire rest of the party just died. The good news is, my character got all their stuff and new characters are coming in, so we'll have bucketloads of gold to spend leading into the big battle.
ECL 11, all books allowed. We have close to 150,000 in spare gold. We will need to beat...
- A Blue Dragon of "Huge" size or larger.
- A powerful wizard who teleports all over the place.
- Unknown creatures capable of casually tossing out DC 30 Will saves vs Sleep, and of using Shapechange or something similar as a (Su).
- God. Well, not really, but someone with enough raw magical power to shape the world.

Re: Shopping list help?
The website "Elf Yourself" comes to mind. That, or Novice Rings of the Diamond Mind to give all characters Moment of Perfect Mind 1/encounter, so that (with maxxed Concentration skills) DC 30 won't be too scary.
Also, some non-crappy custom version of this.You can call me Draz.

Also of note:
- Winning Entry of Gestalt Build Challenge IV
- 3rd Place in Iron Chef XI (Blade Bravo)
- Judge of Iron Chef XXIII (Divine Champion)
I have a number of ongoing projects that I manically jump between to spend my free time ... so don't be surprised when I post a lot about something for a few days, then burn out and abandon it.
... yes, I need to be tested for ADHD.

Re: Shopping list help?
The idea was that "become an elf" if high DC sleep is your problem. There's a website Elf Yourself he was referring to, though that's for slightly different elves.

Spell Immunity. As long as their Sleep effect is not a Supernatural effect, it works.

Re: Shopping list help?
This side of Shapechange? Hm, gonna be tough. I can't come up with anything off-hand. There's no "Elfform" spell far as I know.
