Blade2718 12-20-05, 07:17 PM	There are lots. The spells you'll need will be dependent on a lot of things though, like domain access, party role, feat access, DM tolerance for cheese, etc.
thomasgroendal 12-20-05, 07:38 PM	Domains are luck, trickery, and celerity I buff myself up and balance between going in for sneak attacks, and healing, and undoing gnasty mind control stuff, etc. feat access is pretty open, and DM tolerance for cheese is pretty strong.
PhaedrusXY 12-20-05, 07:48 PM	Are you using Divine Metamagic cheese? If so, which flavor? Quicken or Persistent? :P
carnivore 12-20-05, 07:52 PM	with trickery and Celertiy: PAO: on yourself....form(Kelvezu) then make SURE you take Domain Spontaneity(Celerity).....that way you can cast Time Stop anytime you need to also you can make Greater Blink Persistant, with Divine Metamagic for regular buffs: Greater Magic Weapon Magic Vestaments(stacks with Bracers of Armor) both have long durations Righteous Might Divine Favor Divine Power very useful for combat :D
Blade2718 12-20-05, 08:11 PM	Also, night sticks from Libris Mortis make DM: Persistant bearable.
thomasgroendal 12-21-05, 07:08 AM	any suggestions for cheese using persistent? 6 spell levels is an awful lot of juice?
DreadWizardDM 12-21-05, 08:32 AM	There are some pretty straightforward buffs I could not live without. Protection from evil, mass death ward, mass spell resistance, energy immunity, greater visage of the deity, rightous might,
carnivore 12-21-05, 04:51 PM	personally , i prefer to always have Persistant Shapechange...when possible then again for that...you need to have Ehlonna as a patron...usually i will play an Elf or 1/2 Elf ..maybe even Gnome for that :D
Kresalak 12-21-05, 06:08 PM	Personally I am fond of Divine Metamagic (Persistant) on Divine Favor for a 24 hour +6 luck bonus to attack and damage. Works with regular persistant too, but the Divine Metamagic way saves me a 7th level slot. Where and what is Celerity? A domain?
carnivore 12-21-05, 06:21 PM	Celerity is a domain notice: found here: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ex/20051202a&page=5 look under :"Selected Domains" Celerity Domain Granted Power: Your land speed is faster than the norm for your race by 10 feet. This benefit is lost if you are wearing medium or heavy armor or carrying a medium or heavy load. Celerity Domain Spells 1 Expeditious Retreat: Your speed increases by 30 ft. 2 Cat's Grace: Subject gains +4 to Dex for 1 minute/level. 3 Blur: Attacks miss subject 20% of the time. 4 Haste: One creature/level moves faster, +1 on attack rolls, AC, and Reflex saves. 5 Tree Stride: Step from one tree to another far away. 6 Wind Walk: You and your allies turn vaporous and travel fast. 7 Cat's Grace, Mass: As cat's grace, one subject/level. 8 Blink, Greater: Controlled blinking between the Material and Ethereal Planes grants defenses for 1 round/level. 9 Time Stop: You act freely for 1d4+1 rounds. :D
