She still retains enough healing power to get the party back up after one or two nasty encounters and has a decent selection of utility spells. It's not really much of a problem, as that campaign is fairly high-powered now (altho we started fairly low), when it comes to fighting, we are hit by Destructions and similar spells quite a bit. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />At 13th level she usually has an attack bonus of about +30 for her highest attacks (that is without spending a single action to buff during combat) with 3 attacks per round unbuffed and 4-5 depending on buffs (of course she needs to use up actions then to cast Divine Power, for example). I remember her doing 170 points of damage to a fighter in one round once before he could even act (altho that was with preparations and some of the short duration spells running as well). And the most alarming about that is, there's still a lot room for improvement...It's very good that they went so far to making buff spells less overpowering in 3.5!ByeThanee</blockquote>
