Hello, new to the boards and this is my first post. I am also fairly new to HG maybe 6 weeks or so.
Re: the subject line, it is my fault for not reading those funny little books in the Item Shop sooner.
I am a 18 cleric / 1 wiz / 10 arcane archer using the Zen Archery feat. Had I read about the uncapped spells (how cool) I probably would have gone straight cleric. I also really regret taking that 10th level of AA cause I could have at least made it to 30th cleric and the Death Attack is pretty lame.
My original idea was 22 cleric / 17 AA but now am leaning towards 29 cleric / 10 AA. My question is will a 35 spell penetration (29 + 6 for feats) be enough to overcome the bad guys SR when I get to 40? Or should I stay with original concept and take more AA levels and stay combat focused?
Any ideas? Please Help and Thanks I must say the people on this server are most helpful in game.

35 pen won't be nearly enough. The highest sr in the mod is 70 at the moment, but many creatures, lke the ssithraks, have round 50, easily surmountable if you max out penetration. Didn't I answer this one ingame? Funky

Hi, I did ask you in game last night but did not see a response, sorry if I missed it. Thanks for taking the time to answer. Maxed out would be level 40 caster +6 ? So I would need to roll a 5 to penetrate correct? I assume LL stack if your prime class is a caster.

OK, so the 70 is unbeatable then 46+20=66 unless I am missing some other way to boost. That is fine not everything can be defeated by magic I understand that.

70 is not unbeatable. Read up on your spells. Funky

As soon as you said it it clicked, thank you. Maybe my 29 cleric / 10 AA is still viable, I will have to see if I get any of those SR reduction spells. I think they are mostly Arcane though off top of my head.

I think it's definitely viable, but it'll have a hard time getting offensive spells off in the ssithraks and beyond (maybe the abyss as well?). Funky

Well, that's what Extended Divine Power and arrows are for.
