[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 6625227, member: 5834"] I have run in a campaign up to level 16. I ran the wizard. We never once used [I]forcecage[/I]. It looks good on paper, but isn't particularly useful in actual play. As Dave Dash stated it is more effective to cast a 3rd level [I]fly[/I] spell on a martial and let them kill whatever BBEG you are fighting. They can withstand enough damage and do enough damage to kill most things, even Legendary Creatures without you having to spend a 7th level spell slot to seal it in a force cube that makes killing it more difficult. I imagine some seal it in the cube with bars and then fire through the bars. That can make killing some large creature much easier. I don't know it if is an ideal use of a 7th level spell slot. I'm in a group now with a cleric. I will let you know about [I]contagion[/I] when I use it. I am Trickery Domain and intend to use it with Invoke Duplicity. I'm thinking that one will be more powerful than [I]forcecage[/I]. [/QUOTE]
