[QUOTE="Ainamacar, post: 5022814, member: 70709"] Well, since I love a good ray as much as anyone, I made a pretty close to exhaustive list some time ago. Well, after the original date of the thread, but still. :) Actually, one of my players made a ray wielding sorcerer, that happened to be the grandmother of the party's bard, built with all relevant age effects. At least, up until an interesting encounter with the Deck of Many Things that netted her several wishes. Good times. Anything without a source after it is PHB or Spell Compendium, I'm pretty sure. And I didn't check Dragon or Dungeon, just WotC books. Unless otherwise noted, these are only Sor/Wiz spells. Asterisked spells aren't rays, but they behave similarly (either a ranged attack or ranged touch attack) 0: Acid Splash* Disrupt Undead Electric Jolt Ray of Frost 1: Chill of the Grave[Deathbound] Ice Dagger* Iron Scarf* (Wu Jen only) Orb of <Element>, Lesser* Produce Flame[Druid] Ray of Enfeeblement Targeting Ray Ray of Clumsiness Ray of Flame Targeting Ray[Bard,Sor/Wiz] 2: Acid Arrow* Blast of Force Blinding Spittle[Druid]* Cloud of Knives[Cleric,Sor/Wiz]* (PHB II) Distracting Ray[Bard,Sor/Wiz] Entangling Scarf* (Wu Jen only) Fire Shuriken[Assassin, Wu Jen]* Ice Knife[Assassin,Sor/Wiz,Warmage,Wu Jen]* Produce Flame[Fire] Rainbow Beam Rain of Needles* (Wu Jen only) Ray of Ice Ray of Sickness Ray of Stupidity Ray of the Python[Bard] (PHB II) Ray of Weakness Saltray[Druid] Scorching Ray Seeking Ray (PHB II) Slashing Darkness[Cleric] Splinterbolt[Druid]* Stingray[Bard,Sor/Wiz] 3: Blast of Force[Force] Disrupt Undead, Greater Ghoul Gesture[Hunger] Hailstones* Icelance[Druid,Sor/Wiz]* Magnetism* (Wu Jen only) Melf's Unicorn Arrow* (PHB II) Ray of Dizziness[Bard,Sor/Wiz] Ray of Exhaustion Ray of the Python (PHB II) Rust Ray Searing Light[Cleric,Sun] Slashing Darkness[Cleric] (Champions of Ruin) 4: Dimensional Anchor[Cleric,Sor/Wiz] Defenestrating Sphere* Enervation Languor[Druid] Orb of <Element>* Poison Needles* (Wu Jen only) Ray of Deanimation 5: Bolts of Bedevilment[Bard,Madness] Darkbolt[Darkness5] Fire Breath* (Wu Jen only) Lucent Lance Moonbow* Prismatic Ray Viscid Glob 6: Bolt of Glory[Cleric,Glory] Disintegrate Freeze[Druid] Lucent Lance[Cleric] Ray of Entropy Ray of Light[Bard,Sor/Wiz] Spirit Needle* 7: Antimagic Ray Avasculate Decapitating Scarf* Disintegrate[Destruction] Energy Ebb[Cleric, Sor/Wiz] Prismatic Eye* Stun Ray 8: Avascular Mass Blackfire Polar Ray 9: Energy Drain Meteor Swarm* Sphere of Ultimate Destruction* [/QUOTE]
