[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 8178570, member: 57383"] Updating [URL='http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?p=7504479#post7504479'][B]Pearl the Moon Dragon Working Draft[/B][/URL]. Let's see, she already has [I]cloak of chaos[/I] as an SLA or I'd throw that in. I propose [I]greater spell immunity[/I] should be in there. Immunity to five specified spells is very useful. Let's see, [I]antimagic field[/I] and [I]dimensional lock[/I] are great utility spells. For the domain spell I'd prefer [I]polymorph any object[/I] both because it feels apt for a Chaotic creature and it has way more versatility than the plain 4d6 damage per round of [I]incendiary cloud[/I]. Frankly, that damage is pathetic for an 8th level 20 ft. radius spell. Any mobile creature can usually just walk out of it within a round so the ongoing damage is of limited utility. It either needs to do more damage, have some napalm like "sticky quality" so that it continues to damage targets who leave its area of effect, or cover a vast area to make it useful for crisping armies of mooks. Now where was I? That's four spells so far. Don't care for [I]symbol of insanity[/I] due to its 10 minute casting time - it's impossible to use in combat and once set it lasts until triggered so there's nothing to prevent Pearl placing them weeks, months or centuries in advance. How about [I]greater planar ally[/I] instead? There are plenty of potent outsiders with 18 HD or less (i.e. the Marilith & Planetar from the SRD which have potent magic for their low HD). I'd accept [I]firestorm[/I] since I can't think of anything I like better, since 20d6 fire damage over forty 10-ft. cubes is tolerably effective. Although it might be more efficient using her 7th level domain slot for that instead (since it's in Pearl's Fire Domain). Come to think of it, [I]earthquake[/I] is a 7th level Domain spell for her as well. So that makes my proposed 8th level cleric spell selection [I]antimagic field[/I], [I]dimensional lock[/I], [I]fire storm[/I], [I]greater planar ally[/I], [I]greater spell immunity[/I], [I]polymorph any object[/I]ᴰ; [/QUOTE]
