[QUOTE="Thanee, post: 1513331, member: 478"] Even though this is kinda metagaming (unless your character knew beforehand, that he is heading into the Underdark eventually :p), I'd strongly encourage you to learn either Blindsight (PGtF) or Deeper Darkvision (Underdark). ;) Dispel Magic - good spell, especially as a sorcerer, but if others in the group have access to it, you don't really [b]need[/b] it. It is useful very often, tho. I would go for Dimension Door instead of Teleport, it's useful in more situations. At least in the 10th level version.
