[QUOTE="Son of the Serpent, post: 7807104, member: 7015476"] I have a spell. People say its no where near as good as n00bs think. Youve probably seen the argument, decided to ignore the spell as most do, and never looked back. I say, so long as you arent good aligned or at least arent traditionally good aligned its one of the best low spell level spells in the game especially at mid to high levels. Sadism from the book of vile darkness is a level two spell perfect for wizards of the emperor palpatine type. The argument for why it is ok but not great goes a bit like this: its only good when you're dealing damage effectively to the oponent already. My dismissal of the argument goes a bit like this: have 100 rodents of some kind in a cage or extra dimensional space or in tons of gunny sacks on a horse or something. Find an easy way to cause mass damage to them per round (easy peasy they are just trapped rodents). Ah but it gets better. It doesnt have to be damage to a person. Thats just for fun. It only has to be damage. So for the real power of the spell just do this: set fire to the battlefield and celebrate becoming the god of luck as you gleefully watch the flames "damage" environmental objects all around you and your checks and saves become comparable to a demigod's.
