[3.5] Amping Caster Level

[Marriclay]

I'm making a gestalt warlock for an arena game, and I hit a bit of a hitch. Sure, with voracious dispelling I have unlimited uses of dispel magic, but the fact is people are prepared for that. So, I have to buff the dispel check, and one of the easiest ways to do that is through Caster Level. I plan on Going with Master Specialist (Abjuration) on the other side to ramp it up even more, and was even considering dipping cleric to gain the inquisition domain (+4 on dispel magic checks)

So the question is, what god do I have to worship to get the inquisition domain, and what ways are there to buff Caster Level for a Voracious Dispelling?

[Jarian]

Worship an ideal. It's easier and fits just fine for a Warlock.

Get a Dispelling Cord (MiC). Best thousand gold you can spend, here.

For the rest, well...

can't worship an ideal. against the arena's rules - it has to be a real god from one of my selected sources, or I would've gone straight with that

Oooh, that's a nice list. I usually use IMarvinTPA, but apparently it doesn't have all of them.

Guess I'll be choosing Wee Jas then - I can't choose a LG deity and still be the evil or chaotic I need to cover my butt playing a warlock. thanks everybody!

Use the Planar Touchstone feat to link to the Catalogues of Enlightenment. Then pick the Inquisition domain as a domain power.

Then get a Dispelling Cord (MIC p. 94, 1000 GP), +2 competence bonus on dispel checks.

See if you can get ahold of a Scarab of Aradros (Weapons of Legacy p. 139, 1500 GP), +1 bonus on caster level checks to dispel. Don't worry about all the klunky legacy stuff, all you want is the +1 bonus to dispel. You don't have to do anything to unlock that. The rest of the legacy abilities aren't worth the bother.

There's also an Incarnum feat that can give you an insight bonus on dispel checks: Soultouched Spellcasting. It starts at just +1, but if you have some way to get more essentia, it can get up to +4 at 18th level (+5 with Improved Essentia Capacity).
