So I've been playing in a D&D campaign for the past few months and normally I'm content to get most of my advice, etc from the various handbooks on these forums but the depth and scope of my situation has forced me to pipe up and ask for more specific help.
I'm playing a Binder 1/Cleric 1/Wizard 3/Anima Mage 11/Apostle of the Green Lady 5 in a game that just shifted into epic. When I say shift I mean we quite literally jumped from level 15 (or so) to level 21. Add on top of that this is my second character in the campaign (my first was a barbarian who sadly met a terrible end) and I hadn't quite re-accustomed myself to playing a high level spellcaster and you can see why I'm befuddled.
The main thing I need are suggestions on what spells to Persist on myself every day (I can have up to 4 now thanks to Vestige Metamagic progression into epic) as well as spells to Extend on myself every day. I have access to spells from the Pride Domain from Arcane Disciple and have been using Divine Power to offset a tremendous lack of Strength for carrying capacity. I've also been casting Extended Greater Magic weapon on my Defending armor spikes and Defending Quarterstaff to get the defensive bonuses there. Adding Mind Blank to my list of every day preparation seems like a no-brainer but beyond that I'm unsure. My prohibited schools are Enchantment and Illusion (I felt like keeping Evocation for once), and I'm a conjuration specialist.
If anyone has advice on what Vestiges to bind I'm open to help there as well, as I'm not sure what will be useful going into epic. Green Lady permanently takes up one of my slots, but thats still leaves me 2 vestiges to pick (I've been using Buer up til now to be the party heal-bot and keep Naberius on standby in a Vestige Phylactery). I considered Zycerell but I'm worried about my DM messing with me via the RP bits of the sign for that one.
For my 21st level feat I was planning to take Epic Spellcasting as it seemed a no-brainer, but my efforts to craft epic spells have been... meh. I've mainly been trying to craft a spell to make our party's PC Silver Dragon older and another to restore to life someone who's corpse was used to make a Half-Illithid (this would seem best done by double-casting wish to make the bloke a new body and restore him to that). Any thoughts on either of these or better uses for Epic Spellcasting... or better uses for the feat slot are appreciated. My Spellcraft is currently +32 (24 ranks, 6 Int mod, +2 synergy).
I was planning to take Leadership at 18th level but I'm having second thoughts about it (since my DM is making my cohort and followers). Suggestions for alternatives are appreciated as well though I do have a few ideas of my own.
Here is the rest of my feat list for those that want to chime in: Improved Binding, Scribe Scroll, Improved Initiative, Extend Spell, Arcane Disciple (Pride), Ignore Special Requirements, Extraordinary Spell Aim, Persistent Spell, 18th level feat (Leadership?), 21st level feat (Epic Spellcasting?)
