Eventually working in DDM Quicken might be good with RKV and all. Is there a specific reason you chose Bastard sword? I sort of pictured him a Jovar guy but its hardly an issue. Also your freezing touch isnt normal cold damage its Frostburn damage<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Well, to get Divine Metamagic cheese going I need both quicken and then Divine Metamagic going so I can spam quicken spells (albeit expensively but extra turning helps). So far thought to get improved turning to get additional rebuke undead (thanks the magic item). However we got only two feats before hitting epic levels. I would very strongly try to get Immortal Fortitude via martial study/stance. Albeit would need beef up my fortitude saves a lot to get use out from that one (but there is stamina enchant which costs 4500gp to get +3 resi for stamina from armor :P).<br/><br/>Anycase reason for bastard sword is because dancing spider stance asks to have 'one hand free' to able climb walls and same applies to 8th level shadow hand stance which allows walk on the air itself. Also it's for all around practicality to have one hand free for spellcasting or grab or hang on from something while able dish out with it. Anycase frostburn dmg noted; also nice (albeit expensive) factor was to get sword to +4 to able have necrotic focus so could inflict the touch dmg via sword blow (which is quite big amount of dmg vs living). originally intended to get Darkness domain but decided on Winter domain for control weather and the awesome 5th level blizzard spell which I can center on my char while being immune to it's total blindness effect via first level spell.<br/><br/>Although for now he has only CL 6 in regards spell slots wise and even pre-epic he hits only CL 12 (but CL effectively on spells wise is nicely 16 or 18 with war domain). But that point would enter epic ruby knight vindicator stuff.
