[QUOTE="Nathan, post: 159572, member: 1342"] My bard is a female CG drow, at the moment of 3rd level. Stats: 9, 12, 12, 18, 6, 19. HPs: 11 :( As my bard is a drow, she won't have need of having the Darkness spell as a bard and the Daylight spell isn't appropiate. She knows about ten or eleven languages, so Tongues is also not of much use. Undetectable Alignment is not of much use (since she is good and there is no Demon or Devil in her adventuring group...) Her Faerie Fire also finds invisible creatures. However, its area of effect is only 5'x5'. So, Glitterdust may still be useful. Her 1st-level spells are Charm Person, CLW and Unseen Servant. So she wouldn't want Cure Moderate Wounds. Perhaps Cure Serious Wounds... Some spells reappear in the higher levels: Hold Person -- Hold Monster Invisibility -- Improved Invisibility ... Am I right that one should one OR the other? So, for example, should one wait for Improved Inv.? As you can see from her stats, she is not very good at combat. Some spells which helps her in this way would of course be good. Her main aim is to show the surface races that there are indeed good drows. So, very cruel spells wouldn't fit her. And lastly one word to the spells Bull's Strength, Cat's Grace, Owl's Wisdom, etc. Personally, I find these spells rather bland. And, Eagle's Splendor for example, gets uninteresting once my bard gets a Cloak of Charisma. Of course, with Cat's Grace, etc., I can make some friends in my adventuring group. Can you give me a reason, why I should take one of these spells? The other party members are a Fighter, a Cleric, an Evocer (no Transmutation) and a Ranger. P.S.: Thank you very much for your replies so far. [/QUOTE]
