Combat Reports on the Best 3rd Lvl Spells

BronzeDragon · Jan 21, 2002

Also, consider having the Empower Spell Feat, and try empowering a Magic Missile (thus making it "cost" a Lvl 3 slot).

Works like a charm. And no save BTW...

3rd Spells

I agree with the spells mentioned here, but I'd add Protection from Elements (the best dragon hunting spell there is) and if your DM handles illusions well, I'd look at Major Image as well.

I'd have to agree with a number of people in that Haste is one of the most useful spells to get at 3rd level. The added power it adds to a tank every round, or the added spellcasting you as a wizard/sorcerer can do, outstrips the damage output of a single spell in the experiences we've had. Nothing like the flanking rogue getting hasted and then double-sneak attacking, or the main tank going in for extra attacks, or the sorcerer artillery battery firing off spells quicker.
