[QUOTE="Plane Sailing, post: 4222407, member: 114"] Back in 1e my poor, weak magic user was suddenly assaulted by a monk, who charged out and made a flying kung-fu kick. I shouted out 'feather fall!' and the monk said several naughty words as his leap turned into a float. Then I set my dogs on him. --- A party rogue had a wizard cohort. With a crystal ball. There was (at one time at least) a way of casting message spells via a crystal ball, enabling the rogue to keep in contact with his cohort and give him research tasks to help them. --- Again Message - my sorcerer could quickly have a long lasting message spell targetting all members of the party - enabling him to act as 'operator' for whispered communications between party scouts and the rest of the party even when 150ft+ apart, for instance. --- In Sagiro's storyhour, I was guesting as One Certain Step in one game. I noticed that Step had a number of riding feats (up to and including spirited charge), but no mount. I asked one of the wizards whether he happened to know 'Phantom Steed'. As it happens he did, so he cast it for me. In the next encounter OCStep managed a ride by spirited charge with Smite Evil and raised eyebrows around the table. "I didn't know he could do that much damage" someone said. All thanks to Phantom Steed. [/QUOTE]
