Move the extra 1 wizard rank into MnE for +1 DS?
Perception up to 2x for a little more SMR defense?
Maybe EMC up to 2x if you want, or Lores to 2x... although, kinda meh on both.
Maybe start Dodge training now that you're already at 5 ranks of Disarm?
Maybe pick up Archery, cause that's what all the cool wizards do?

Thanks Whirlin.

I have never been a numbers person, thanks for the tip about spell ranks defense.
To show how long it has been, what is SMR?
Kudos on knowing or remembering what the 60 ranks CM were for.
:D

I'm going to guess Standard Maneuver Roll...Let's see what the master says

Standard Maneuver Roll. Some critter moves use it to determine whether or not the ability hit, assuming hte ability isn't a normal CMAN

You could also take your CM to 1x and pick up 5 ranks of Cunning Defense for more defense vs CMANs.

Winner winner...chicken dinner! I was totally guessing, but it seemed logical. Which is basically how I scored well on my SAT's 20 years ago.

My vote would be CM to 1x. Spend the CMAN points on either 5 ranks of cunning defense, or 4 ranks cunning defense with the rest on ranks in feint + any others you would like to boost your defense against.

Subtracting 15 from CM endrolls against you doesn't seem like much at first; you're still going to get hit by CMANs. But it helps with mitigation. You'll take less severe endrolls, shorter stuns, less RT etc...

I wouldn't spend any time on lore changes until we know what's happening with 506, 515, 519, and 925.

Edited to add: CM will help with the afore-mentioned Standard Maneuver Roll as well.

Thanks, good info.

Are there any plateaus/targets after 1x for Perception, or is pretty much linear? Should I toss in a few more ranks as I target CDEF?

I doubt I will give up the wizard spell rank, just for luck. I did a plate armor 7x ET with those numbers - not superstitious but...
