[QUOTE="WingOver, post: 1129243, member: 13911"] I don't ever want to use Disjunction if I can help it. I agree 100% that it's messy and may potentially destroy magic items. But vs. another wizard, a disjunction response is necessary for survival. If I find myself suddenly left defenseless from his disjoin, I have no choice but to hit him back, the heck with potential lost loot (hopefully he doesn't have an artifact on him). I'd rather be poor than dead. Besides, a wizard has the best chance of saving against it anyway, effectively turning it into an unresistable dispel magic. Anti-magic Field is a deathwish for wizards (unless you're talking about a private duel). I'd rather use Shapechange, turn into a beholder, and nail him with the anti-magic cone. I want to emphasize that I don't consider Disjunction an attack option. I consider it an assured response, a deterrent that will give pause to any enemy who knows that he has a Disjunction coming his way if he launches first. Interesting point about wanting your opponent to succeed their save. This makes wizards and clerics with the high Will saves the best targets for this spell, in that regard. However, my wizard still wouldn't risk hitting an artifact. [/QUOTE]
