Wall of Stone is a good 5th level spell. Not only is it good battlefield control, it's an excellent construction spell. Solid Fog is a freaking great for battlefield control. 20 ft radius spread, creatures trapped in it have their speed reduced to 5 ft, and their attacks are at -2 to hit and...

Bards become a whole lot more important.

The Spell Girding feat from Magic of Faerun. I think it does something like a Heighten spell - you gain 2x slot difference to resist dispel magic spells when you prepare a spell in a higher slot. Thus, a 3rd level spell prepared in a 5th level slot gains a +4 to resist dispel checks.

I did that, too. I was playing a ranger, and I communicated with the leader of the wolf pack. We got their aid in the last battle, without even knowing it was going to be happening. Saved our bacon. It's a shame that our group ended up disbanding after that (School, work, distance factors)...

I ran an adventure for my home group like this, and ran it at Gen Con the following year. Basically a lost temple of Helm that was a reminder of past glories of the kingdom of Phalorm. Several crypts, of heroes of some of the greatest heroes of that lost land. It was guarded by a lamassu, a...

:eek: Why waste so much ancililiary magic? The wizard can take along all his buddies with the spell, rather than pmorph the fighter and having the cleric cast another spell...

I THINK he may be referring to how online retailers tend to have the books 1-2 weeks after BnM stores have it on the shelf...

I don't have the Beguiler spell list in front of me, but using the spell filter ability at d20srd.org (http://www.d20srd.org/filters/spell.php), I come up with 5 1st level Illusion spells: Color Spray, Disguise Self, Magic Aura, Silent Image, Ventriloquism. Of the five, I'd say Color Spray is...

The high level campaign I'm currently playing in started out in Barovia, as a mystically hidden/forgotten kingdom in the southern part of Vaasa, where an ancient spell had messed with peoples minds and made them think the mountains were where the kingdom was.... Currently, we're involved in a...

And that's why I suggested the Light spells, since they have a utility (Light) as well as the damage capability. IME playing a 17th level wizard, there are are times where you don't want to do nothing in combat, but wasting a 5th or 6th level spell on what is essentially a mook is not worth the...

You don't need to memorize, it just write down the rules on an index card. Could web be simplified? Yes. I think tying the break DC's more closely to the spell DC is an excellent idea. However, it's not difficult to: a) look up entangled in the glossary, or b) write it down on an index card...

Nature's Avatar is misleading. It gives massive bonuses to your animal companion (Like +10 to Str, Dex, and Con, and a bonus to natural armor, iirc). It's not as cool as it sounds.

That was an optional rule in 2nd Ed, and I believe 1st ed, and not present at all in the D&D box sets that I recall.

This thread is ironic for me, because I was just talking about this yesterday with a co-player/DM. 8th and 9th level generally IS "more of the same", especially for druids. Here's the 8th & 9th level druid spells that I've got from the FR books, the Spell Compendium, the PH2, and the PH: 8th...

Depends on what sources you're using, really. There's Produce Fire, Magic Stone, and Shillelagh from the PH, there's Sandblast, Winter Chill, Babau Slime (though why in the Hells THAT is a druid spell I don't know...), Animate Fire/Wood/Water, Aspect of the Wolf, and Handfire from the Spell...

Extend spell, then, to provide for longer summonings!

Did any of the party use potions? Heck, have it destroy the potions of one of the melee members, esp. if they're separated from the healer.... Don't forget about this ability. I don't know if your spellcasters tend to summon a lot of creatures, but if the party likes to bring in lots of...

My problem with Entangle is with the size of the area, personally. A 40' radius spread, at 1st level. Even allowing for the fact that it is limited to needing vegetation, it's a spell that has twice the area affected than it's nearest competitor, the 2nd level Web...

That'll totally make up for that orphanage we burned down...

Well, hell, I'll have to make sure I go now. A 90 minute ish drive is a snap.
