In order to be different, I was trying to come up with an idea involving Bard, Wizard, Apostle of Peace, Sublime Chord, Wild Mage, Mystic Theurge and possibly Divine Oracle. I know there's a thread somewhere about something close to this or at least somewhere I can look and get ideas but search is acting up again. Books Allowed: CORE, Complete Series, Unearthed Arcana, and Book of Exalted Deeds That's it, nothing else. Race: Human or Chaos Gnome (only thing allowed from the other books) Stats: 18, 18, 18, 16, 15, 14 Feats: Sacred Vow, Vow of Poverty, Vow of Nonviolence, Vow of Peace... From there, the feats I should take are fuzzy. I need Magical Aptitude for Wild Mage but Wild Mage isn't necessary. I was also thinking Nonlethal Substitution (duh), and then the Spell Penetration feats and also Practiced Spellcaster. Goal: 9th level arcane and divine would be nice :) Other party members: rogue, 2 clerics, 2 fighters If someone just posts the link to another thread that might help me that would work as well. Reasoning behind classes: Apostle of Peace- who needs to fight? Bard/Wizard (maybe Sorceror)- arcane and bard stuff Sublime Chord- song of arcane power (is it worth it in something like this?) Divine Oracle- fill levels Mystic Theurge- last levels Wild Mage- the wild magic/practiced spellcaster thing

A simple Wizard 10/Celestial Mystic 10 might be good - Celestial Mystic gets all sorts of nifty abilities that might come in handy as a planar traveler. Wizard 6/Geometer 2/Initiate of the Sevenfold Veil 7/Divine Oracle 5 might be cool, although you'd have to suck up the Skill Focus(Know-Rel) requirement. You don't take Sublime Chord to get Song of Arcane Power (although if you can pump up your Perform check, its worth it) - you take Sublime Chord as a Bard to get higher level spells than you'd normally be allowed to have.

In all likelyhood, the party will probably split up into smaller groups. That's why I wanted both arcane and divine. You're right about the sublime chord, though. I still want to work Apostle of Peace in. If I do a little more tweaking I can do the simple: Bard 7/Divine Oracle 2/AoP 1/SC 1/MT 9 That works right? I dunno, I wish I could find that thread. What would be a more arcane version of that? Something like this?: Wizard 7/Divine Oracle 2/Apostle of Peace 1/Mystic Theurge 10 Not that bad. Again, advice would help.

As for the Wizard-ly version, I am by no means the master of Apostle of Peace arcane/divine builds, but this is my very first attempt at such a thing. Others will come along and smash this build to pieces. But a very bare bones build would look like: Wizard 9/Aop 2/MT 8/Wizard 10. That's 18 levels of Wizard spellcasting, and 10 levels of AoP spellcasting.
