[QUOTE="Rofel Wodring, post: 7207216, member: 6873189"] (Note: I think Astral Projection should be rated much, much higher than it is. If you can make your way from the Astral Plane to the material plane -- and because you're a high-level wizard, YOU CAN -- it's completely safe adventuring with no reduction in effectiveness. RAW, you can even use it to gain multiple copies of consumables. So load up your arrows and shortswords with wyvern poison, boys, it's own the spoot out of the adventure time!) Wish is an awesome spell. And the most awesome thing about it is getting to poach spells from other lists. This is less of a concern for wizards than it is for classes like the Bard and Sorcerer, since they already get most of the best spells, but versatility is everything. [B][COLOR=#0000FF]Animal Shapes[/COLOR][/B]: So you have a wight commander with 10+ zombies under their command. How would you like to have a wight commander plus 10 ankylosaurses instead?
