Also if you like the medium armor route, I would suggest picking up the other two Great Charisma's and something like Epic Skill Focus.
OR if you don't have an Evocation book or want another spell school with a different book, you could get Epic Spell Focus Evocation.

As for spells I would greatly suggest getting all the Bloodfire Mage Spells; and they are..

Other spells you could pick up would be things like Displacement, Premonition, and other self buffs. Note, that they will only be cast at lvl 19.

If you wondering about the Evocation Book. You can't use the new epic spells because you don't have 25 Sorcerer, so you might as well save a feat because you won't use many other spells besides Evocation.

Any specific reason to use heavy armor? Bloodfires can cast with no spell failure in medium armor and with your dex (22 with items) you'd get a 6 dex bonus to ac if you wore medium armor. Unless the build uses a shield the heavy armor would actually lower your ac over medium armor...

[Becb]

Yah he would use a shield.

But if you where drop the 3 feats and use medium armor which feats would you pick up?

[bunnyman]

Well, if I was to change all 3? I'd drop Cha to 17 and set int to 14 (maxed tumble), and strength to 9? (hold a few more pounds) Then, with the feats i'd add armor skin, Epic skill focus: Discipline, and Great Charisma IX (to end up with the same amount)

[Becb]

Hey the Int jumps to 14 after the first 9 lvls of Rdd. Look at the lvl 40 stats.

Armor Skins already in there lvl 38
The Skill focus is cool
Since Armor Skin is there you can use that one for Charisma X

Oh, didnt see it at 38, I usually take it at 21. The extra 2 int bonus would still get you tumble tho, since you didnt mention it in the skills...

[Becb]

Yah, I had to save it for rdd bonus feats. With the 14 Int I could max out the cc tumble at lvl 40 and had some left over. I just forgot to mention it.

I really want to keep the 22 cha at start
