[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 5549154, member: 4936"] Yeah, low level healings are probably a waste. You'll get better value out of a higher level wand...or even a staff. Staff of Healing isn't too bad, and staves are nice because they scale with your CL and your casting attribute. Stoneskin is a good buy, though if you expect to be using it a LOT, check out the epic ring that basically gives you constant Stoneskin. More expensive than a wand, but not outrageously so. Shield is an excellent choice if you don't have one! Very scaleable, and it blocks an irritating mouse spell. Animal buffs are normally superseded by items, because they give enhancement bonuses just like the items do. Mirror Image is a big maybe. Blindsight defeats it. Tremorsense defeats it. True Sight defeats it. Not ALL monsters have those things, but a significant number of things do. Invisisbility is much the same as Mirror Image, but probably better, if only because you'll SOMEtimes be interacting with folks who aren't the same level as you, and it gives you some noncombat options. :) Jemal, I think it's fair for a player to recognize that his concept has a giant smoking "Kill Me Like This" sign on his back, and to prepare for it. Holy Word IS death on wheels for an Outsider of the Evil persuasion, and there's only a few ways to stop it. Given that this Marilith has lived this long, it's reasonable to assume she probably knows how to survive a Holy Word. :) [/QUOTE]
