no epics? what about illusion?

[DragonChyld]

Guess you do get Epics lol, I misremebered and thought with a CHA of less than 30 you got Nothing.

[MightyKhan]

well, i do believe you have to be able to cast level 6 spells, but you are taking 4 great cha feats and start with 12 charisma, so im thinking you CAN get 1 epic

[nataani]

For solo why not drop abjuration in favour of conjuration (Healing spirit) and use a book for illusion (Your source of conceal). Abjuration really is pretty iffy on a bard, even one of this variety. I dont see a huge difference between 275% and 200%, if they hit you with that damage type and actually do damage, your screwed anyway, at least you can drop the healing spirit for tough fights and have it constantly heal/gr you so that you dont lose any imms.

[DragonChyld]

Well That's a good Idea, and perhaps maybe even a better one, I do however like the Versatility of being able to cover Multiple elements as well as the 275% immunity. The reason I like that number better than 200% is that it seems that each round the critters lower your immunity to an element, Having more Immunity = more time before it starts to hurt.

The Healing spirit would only last 11 rounds.

Also, though its not alot, the Abjuration epic does provide you with some DR.

This build should get 2 Epics, The Abjuration one, which will give DR of 7/+20 and last a LONG time, and possoms, good for one insta reincarnation per rest.

[DragonChyld]

Completly Reworked the build.

[MightyKhan]

what leveling progression are you following? its not 24 bard then 16 DwD is it?

[DragonChyld]

Sorry, I forgot to post it.

In order to get DWC status you have no choice but to go 11 bard, then take your DwD Levels. Then just finish out bard.

Also later today I will be posting a Salamander Version that gets 4 more AB/Damage and has the ability to squeeze in Great Fort to top all saves over 60
