Poll: What is your favorite spell?

Post by Agnocar »

Mine would have to be greater restoration. The perfect in-the-middle-of-battle-spell. I swear, using it, Aerie has saved me countless battles. What is your favorite spell?

Mine is Magic Missile: it's fast, ideal for disrupting spellcasting, and it creates multiple missiles, ideal for getting through magic resistance.

Project Image.

Have your ToB Sorcerer cast it, have your Images cast Simulacrum, have your Simulacrums cast Project Image... An army of clones! Most of them will get even your highest level spells :cool:

Also:
[*]Stoneskin (for letting me cast all those other spells without dying)
[*]Mislead (casting spells while remaining invisible is just too much fun)
[*]Power Word Blind (practically insta-kills anything, no save)
[*]Nature's Beauty (practically insta-kills everything, no save)

Comet
MM
lower resistance
greater malison
whirlwind (while not technically a spell, it sure is a great ability. anyone know if you can whirlwind/improved haste to get your attacks to 20/round. I think most tanks would like 20 attacks/rd.

I have to say my favorite spell is Insect Swarm/The higher Version of it. And True Sigth. Both those combined... Mage ..what mage? Oh the one that just standing there.
Trap? What trap!? Ah shi....!!!!

My favourite:
Equip Aerie with robe of vecna, have her cast Holy Smite in rapid succesion. works wonders on groups of nasties.

My two favorite spells would be Improved Alacrity and time stop, with something to lower casting time like the robe of vecna, or the amulet of power.

[Sorry about my poor english]

For damage:Skull trap and flame arrow(These spells don't have the maximum damage limity as fireball and lightnind bolt[10d6]); also that spell Abada... ...horrid wittings.

Metaspells :P roject Image is an outrage(with some scrolls like time stop, imprisionment); Great Alacrity too(with vecna's robe you can cast dozens of ather spells in 1 second).

Combat: Stone skin, Mirror image.

Spell vs Spell: Pierce Shield, Breach.

Summon: Planetar(Good fight and lots of spells avaiable ;Sorry for the Cernd followers but I have test the Greater Elemental, and the spells the planetar held make the difference); Mondaikeine Sword (don't no why but this sword do not take fisical damage, so you can keep anithing ocupped, works with the Ravenge, Shaga Yura...)

Others: Lower resistance, is vital for any mage.
[Sorry about my English]
