Holiday 2020....Travelling to Hell

[Dogfax]

Hi Folks,
My party are about to travel to the plane of Hell as a level 13 group. We are playing Hell's Rebels, so please no spoiler's or adventure specific details, but I am looking for some help on items/spells/general advice. Our characters have had a few weeks to prep for this and as such, in game terms, enough time to research what we would be expecting up to a certain point.
We are limited on gold and what we can buy (14,400GP max item value available to purchase), and have an odd party setup.
Lev9Witch(invoker)/Lev4Harrower (Imp familiar)
Lev13 Monk/Cleric/Rogue/Urban Barbarian
Lev13 Summoner
Lev13 Mesmerist
Lev13 Investigator

Through research we know we are getting Int/Wis/Cha penalties for alignment and will be facing devils. Also spells will be empowered or penalised depending on type.

So bearing in mind all this, what items/spells would you recommend, as our trip is looking horrible TBH!! Is there a way to get around the alignment penalties?

As I say nothing game/story breaking just some general tips that would be know to our characters through research please.

Honestly? Pretty much the normal stuff like healing and buff items, with a focus on protection from fire, enchantment, poison, and physical attacks. Planeshift is a good thing to have on hand. You'll need to be able to get past DR silver, good, or both.

Remember banishment and dismissal won't work on devils in Hell, so don't bother.

I've read this whole AP, so best of luck!

Also, please tell me about this this Monk/Cleric/Rogue/Urban Barbarian! I must know.

Ok thanks for the tips...
I got it wrong on the character front
The player is actually playing a Monk/Cleric/Urban Barbarian I think... hard to keep track TBH lol! Don't think he took level in rogue... yet

The idea is to get amazing saves, good AC, and be able to rage but not get fatigued. Only down side is he only has Cleric level 7, so we miss the better spells, and he struggles a bit to hit, but we tend to buff him up. We don't have a true front line fighter so it is an odd party, but is doing ok so far.

I mean, if you've made it thurs far. Plus Eidolon/summons make a very strong frontliner.

I'd love to see the build though!
