Yes. OFC the length is much shorter, but you don't absolutely need Invis.

Bards can also get invisibility from the Shadow Conjuration spell. Mage armor is another useful spell you can get from Shadow Conjuration.

Very true. It's a must have spell for me.

Yeap, for me too. I think it is not removed by breach either, but have not tested this to be certain

My big headache are the feats. I found out i`d like to have div shield too :P
Now i need another pre epic feat and will have to loose either extend spell, lingering or curse song. Tough choices. feat starved.

I'd cut out a Great Cha, they're all must have Feats IMO.

I am not certain you can take Divine might on a class that doesnt progress Turn Undead.
What makes Divine shield essential for you? In which cases are you going to use it?

Practised Spellcaster is missing.

and you cant take divine shield before you get turn undead, if you want both, you need 4 lvs of BG.

The pit fiend rips my current build apart after his mords hit. +8 ac for 44 secs seems decent to reward. I dropped 2 gr charisma. contender for the spare feat are practised caster, ipa, gr char and eagle spell. In ud dispels are very seldom. breaches are frequent and cl don`t protect against those.
