Also, if this is "maximum" I don't see completionist.

[Isharah]

Will need to work out feats for that too.

It doesnt stack with Greater spell focus item.

How about store pots? If u can afford it (extremely expensive) DC is boosted by 1.

Lasting Supreme Ability and Eagle's Might Potion are both store pots.

Really well laid out. I get this stuff all mix up in the head when I try to work the math. I'll be sure to bookmark this page for future reference.
