When I test multiclass into rogue and put all points into use magic device I get 12.
That should be enough points to use the robes of the dark moon + boots of the sun soul (+3 or whatever) If you just take one level of multiclass you can hit level 8 spells before the end of the OC. Empowered IGMS is more than enough for any enemy there. Glad to hear you're having success soloing! You must be playing well! I used grimnaw at higher levels. He'll knock Desther on his butt too. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />
