Help me boost my DEX without Items/classes/races

Jun 13, 2008 4:00:09 Hello,

I have a problem.

I am playing a blind Sword Sage 13 / Master of the Nine 5 Character. She is a high dex build character which uses this attribute for Attack and Damage Rolles. Here are some of her feats

- Blind (nbof)
- Blindsight (nbof)
- Shadow Blade (bons)
- Weapon Grace (nbof)

She has a total of +47 to listen, allowing her to easily pinpoint opponents within 150 ft. With her blindsight feat she also ignores the 50% miss chance within 5ft.

The problem I now have is that I am decking her out in Dex building gear. Our GM however has a talent for destroying our items on a regular basis. Thus I am seeking other means which would allow me to enhance my dex (I need 4 more points min.) without risk of loosing the item later on. In terms of GP I have a total of 110,000 to spend. Unfortunately I cannot use the manual of Quickness since she is blind

Also as Armor she has an nightscale leather +5 of Nimbleness, giving her a total of +12 for Max DEX.

Would you have any suggestions on how I could increase my Dex

- permanent
- no items (that can be lost or destroyed)
- min. is another 4 points in dex
- no other class/race options pls
- not exceeding 110,000gp

Thanks for your kind help

Susan

Jun 13, 2008 5:03:02 Pay to have a Wizard cast Wish at you 4 times for +4 DEX. Should cost 106,120 gp.

Jun 13, 2008 8:30:10 what about a tome of clear thougt +4 (+5) (dmg 268)

costs only 110000gp (137500 gp) and after you read it, you keep this inherent bonus..

Solution: Learn Braille, then read books.

While that is an option, as I pointed out earlier, Wish is cheaper than the tomes.

Jun 13, 2008 10:15:12 CantripN is correct ..... a Wish cast by a 17th lvl Wizard is the cheapest way to get inherent bonuses(other than some Grafts... but they give Str bonuses; i.e. Paralyzing Arm(libris Mortis) give +4 Inherent Str for 40000gp)

nothing gives Bonuses to Dex cheaper than the Wish cast by a Wizard.... unless you Summon something with Wish as a Spell-like ability... (Efreeti)+ (Candle of Invocation)... but that gets books thrown at you from the DM

:D

Cat's Grace Persisted would also work.

Thank you

The idea with the wish occured to me before, but I wanted to keep that as a last option. MY GM just approved 4 wishes so I will use them.

Its really going to be interesting playing a blind swordsage.

Your guys are great, keep up the good work

Susan
