Koppelius is a Diviner 13, though his spell focus emphasis is Transmutation (for the save vs suck aspects).
Skills of note: the Knowledges, of course, and Spellcraft. Perception +32 (the better to use that surprise round action). He's a good face (or backup face if there's a bard) at Diplomacy +28. He knows 37 languages, including all "planar" languages.
Main attack spells tend to be transmutations, like persistent baleful polymorph (DC 26) and Flesh to Stone (DC 28) - obviously even stronger with Arcane Concordance. I'm a heavy telekinesis user (ever since Violetta), usually for combat manuevers (depending on buffs, in the mid-plus-20s, or plus-forties with true strike). Other than that I'm a fan of control - slow, icy prison, chains of light, phantasmal web (I use to drop fliers), reverse gravity, etc.
Not a huge buffer, but could be - easy access to extended spells makes GMW and so forth more appealing. I'm considering buying a Staff of Bolstering.
I carry a ton of scrolls, wands, and utility items. Now 13th level, I have Limited Wish (and four diamonds), as well as a scroll of LW.
I *could* planar bind some kind of minion, depending on the starting conditions of the scenario - I'm a fan of Bebeliths and huge elementals (my charisma isn't very high). Not all groups like that, but it's available.
Also, now that I've cashed in my Staff of the Master (sniff), I'm sitting on some cash, so scrolls, oils, etc. as needed are an option.
