ESF Abjuration vs Epic Spell Penetration

Post by legionetrangere » Tue Dec 12, 2017 12:30 pm

Howdy

I'm running tests on my wizard build, and by reading the wiki, thence came a doubt.

ESF Abjuration gives +6 to the level cap for a dispelling roll. Why should i go this road instead of Epic Spell Penetration that also gives +6 to beat a foe spell resistence to abjuration and every other school?

Epic spell penetration has nothing to do with dispel checks. It's also generally a bad pick if you've got more than 23 or so caster levels. Even then, really.

I mean, take spell pen if you want, but don't expect it to do what spell focuses do. Modified by Arelith or otherwise, the two concepts are unrelated.

Not to mention the epic spells that ESF Abjuration gives you!
That which doesn't kill you, simply makes you... stranger.
