[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 4561156, member: 35909"] I'll check Spell Compendium. 7: Avasculate: A nasty way to start a fight. Reduces the foe to half hp AND stuns him for a round if he fails a fort save (he loses the hp regardless). This is an evil spell, if it matters. Stun Ray: Don't roll a 1 on the ranged touch attack and stun the target for 1d4 +1 rounds, or 1 round if it makes the fort save. Dragon will likely make the save. Still worth it if you have a greater metamagic rod of extend... 8: Not much of use... Avascular Mass: Just like Avasculate, but also creates an effect similar to the web spell from the target creature outwards. Also an evil spell, if it matters. You listed some other good ones. Personally, I'd take Poly Any Object, it's a great pre-battle buff. And works just as nice on your familiar, if you have one. For level 7, I'd say Limited Wish, Energy Immunity, Stun Ray, or Avasculate would be best. I don't know how strong the dragon's breath weapon is, do you think you need more than resistance 30 to survive it? Even if not, could you get Energy Immunity on a scroll instead of as a spell known? The dragon may just use an energy sub. breath weapon anyway. [/QUOTE]
