[QUOTE="rgard, post: 9369755, member: 4157"] I played 2 Illusionists in 1E. The first one got blown up due to a capricious and abritrary DM (I recounted that [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/favorite-obscure-rules-from-tsr-era-d-d.704389/post-9356818']here.)[/URL] The second one made it to 15th or 16th level. Phantasmal Force was the go to first level spell. The DM handled illusions that dealt damage (phantasmal force lightning bolt or phantasmal force fireball, etc) by giving those in the area of effect a saving throw to know it was an illusion and then if failed, a saving throw against the fireball or lightning bolt. When the character runs out of spells, draw your dagger and wade in to the fight. Color Spray is a good first level spell too. When you get high enough level to cast Prismatic anything, you are having fun. [/QUOTE]
