      This was an interesting puzzle to solve:

      • Triple Epic Spell Focus
      • Sorcerer with maximum possible Charisma (without RDD 10+)

      I designed a Sorc 38 / Paladin 1 / Ranger 1 split. Paladin 1 for fabulous saves and Ranger 1 for a free spell focus feat and great skills like Animal Empathy, Search, Spot and Set Trap.

      There aren’t any triple epic spell focus sorcerers in the ECB Archives or ECB Filter Search by DPA with Sorc 35+. There are some dual epic spell focus sorcerers but I think they don’t have Cha 38. So overall I think this is new territory to explore.

      Choosing the Three Spell Focuses was challenging.

      Sorcerers only get:

      • 3 spells to choose from for each level between 6-9,
      • 4 spells to choose from for each level between 3-5 and
      • 5 spells to choose from for each level between level 1-2.

      Level 9 spells, for example, one will usually want both Mordenkainen’s Disjunction and Time Stop, leaving only one spell to choose from, so choosing both Necromancy and Enchantment wouldn’t be ideal, as one cannot take both Wail of the Banshee and Dominate Monster.

      I ended up choosing Enchantment, Transmutation and Evocation, although Conjuration/Necromancy would have been tempting too.

      I could also have fit Epic Mage Armor or Epic Warding into the build by dropping Silent Spell and moving the Ranger 1 level to Level 21. I thought getting two whole spell levels of Flesh to Stone (ie. level 6 – Flesh to Stone, level 7 silent Flesh to Stone) might be handy though.
