given the amount of money you have, you should best look into investing/spending it on something xD, whether it be starting to upgrade your most-significant bonuses into epic or getting some wands/scepters to arm Caerlotheir properly =P

A good idea might be to invest that 30K to get Cael immunity to transmutation. You won't be able to fix him if he damaged immediately, but at least an enemy mage with disintegrate won't be able to make him go "POP" in well-placed shot. You also might want to consider picking up a Greater Rod of Chaining like Dmitri. Though I'm not sure useful it would be, since Superior Invisibility is the only spell of yours that I can think of that will benefit.

Other than that, you've saved your money to the point now where you can start buying what I like to call luxury items. For example:

[Item] of Constant Enlarged True Seeing and See Invisibility (285K (this is a rough estimate, since i'm a little rusty on how dai factors metamagic effects into items)).
You! Your character's build displeases me! Come to the boards for nerfing!

Yeah, sorry, I just have several different things to keep track of here. That transmute-proof thing looks good, and I'll see about the others.

Though I'm pretty sure the party's not 21st level yet. Can you get epic bonuses before then?

also: assume Cael already has the proof-against-transmutation effect (I'll add it on later), the Airindalians aren't stupid enough to create a weapon of that magnitude without it =P

Oh, ok then. I assume that means I get back the 30k I just spent on it?

My suggestions on what you could spend the money on:

offensive - just put more onto Cael's slots
--can fit 2 more metamagic rods: I'd suggest Greater Metamagic Rod of Twin (not sure if wotc has it somewhere, try Complete Arcane, if not it should cost the same as a Greater Rod of Quicken.
--fit 3 wands, I'd suggest either stacking triple fireball wands or get three orb wands of three different elements, say force + electricity + sonic
--increase the caster level bonus on Ring of Arcane Might, I figured the equation is ( bonus^2 x 20,000, max +3 nonepic )

defensive - I'd put this as a priority, seeing as your char draws enough attention as is (although you probably have money for both). There are lots of options, below are just a few good ideas.
--add Energy Immunity enhancement (MIC) to armor, this is an immediate action activation ability to become immune to one energy type for a minute once per day, definitely comes in handy when some foe deploys an element not expected. [cost: 28k]
--add Elemental Body [Fire] imbued to your vestment, it'd free up a lvl7 spell known slot and that's a buff definitely worthwhile (immunity to fire, poison, sleep, paralysis, stunning, flanking, critical hits, darkvision 60ft). [cost: 182k]
--get Freedom of Movement Boots, which makes one immune to movement-impeding spells (like Solid Fog) and grappling. [cost: 84k]

remember that magic items should always be used to back buffs up, as their effects are far harder to remove than buffs'

get some1 in party to calculate costs for you if you're interested in some of the above.

Well, for starters, can somebody please calculate those items on the defensive list? I'm sure it'd take me until Christmas to run that kind of math.

Also, for point of reference, I have just upwards of 295k gold.

editted costs to above post
EDIT: got two numbers backwards... modified

actually, I also just realized that Displacement is useless if you have Superior Invisibility anyways, since true seeing pierces Displacement and negates it's benefits... taking that off from list.

You know there's a Ring of Freedom of Movement in the DMG, right? Costs 40k...


Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pron surfed, weak and weary,
Over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore',
While I clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour,
"'Tis not possible!", I muttered, "Give me back my free hardcore!

By the way, is anybody both local and available tomorrow evening? I need some help leveling this guy up.
