I know there are multiple ways to get level 9 divine and arcane casting, but is there a build that gets level 9 arcane/level 9 divine/+16 BAB?

I am hoping for a Wizard/Cleric, so no Ur-Priest unless absolutely needed, thanks.

Books available would be:

Core books, Complete Series (excluding Complete Arcane), Book of Vile Darkness, Masters of the Wild, Tome and Blood, Sword and Fist, Draconomicron, Unearthed Arcana, and Expanded Psionics Handbook.

Thanks,
X

Another problem is I don't have access to Complete Arcane so Sublime Chord is out...

Only way I can think of is some sort of Gestalt character.

Well, it's one hell of a challenge, but I really don't think it's possible to do without Sublime Chord/Apostle of Peace/Ur-Priest.

Personally, I'd aim for

Rogue 2/Bard 4/Druid 4/Sublime Chord 1/Apostle of Peace 1/Fochlucan Lyrist 8.

However, I'm almost certain that even with Able Learner, it's impossible to qualify for Sublime Chord this way, due to a spellcasting requirement.

Try doing the google domain search for 'tripple threat'. This idea has been tried before.

Without Ur-Priest/Apostle and Sublime Chord I can see no way of doing this at all. Even then I've spent a little time looking at it and have trouble making a qualifying build.

There needs to be some give somewhere. A Folchian Lyrist Build like this...

Druid 7 / Bard 1 / Master Thrower 2 / Folchian Lyrist 10
Would grant you +17 BAB, 9th level druid spells and 4th level bard spells.

Druid 7 / Bard 1 / Master Thrower 2 / Folchian Lyrist 6 / Sublime Chord 1 / Folchian Lyrist 3
Would grant you +16 BAB, 9th level druid spells and 6th level arcane spells.

Druid 4 / Bard 1 / Arcane Heirophant 4 / Master Thrower 2 / Folchyan Lyrist 2 / Sublime Chord 1 / Folchyan Lyrist 6
Would grant you +16 BAB, 9th level druid spells and 7th level arcane spells.

Druid 1 / Bard 7 / Master Thrower 2 / Sublime Chord 1 / Ur-Priest 1 / Folchyan Lyrist 8
Would grant you +15 BAB, 9th level druid spells and 9th level arcane spells.

I haven't checked them very well for prerequisites (mainly feats & skills) but there are as close as I can manage. I personaly love tripple threat builds but you have to loose a little power somewhere for them to happen.

You need to be able to cast first level arcane spells to qualify for Fochluchan Lyrist, so it's a minimum of Bard 2 unless you take another spellcasting class...
