[QUOTE="Plane Sailing, post: 533071, member: 114"] I disagree with an earlier poster about [i]blur[/i]. It is a brilliant spell for you. Verbal only component, so there is no spell failure chance. Concealment that can make any attack a miss is excellent. "Critical threat? Ooops, he missed because of the blur". You won't hear *that* very often from protection from evil! Immunity to sneak attacks! Yeah! (the obscuring mist scroll is only any good if you want to run away, since otherwise it gives *you* a miss chance too!) Pro/Evil is a great spell because of the saving throw bonus, the protection from mind control and the hedging out summoned creatures - but for a combat-first guy, it isn't as good for you as blur. At higher levels, the 3rd level [i]blink[/i] is an excellent spell for you since they get a miss chance, you get sneak attack on all your attacks and you take reduced falling and area affect damage. Then I'd go for [i]Greater Magic Weapon[/i] and [i]Haste[/i], eventually taking [i]Keen edge[/i] later. I'd imagine that [i]Endurance[/i] should be high on your list of 2nd level spells, since you are going to need the hps to go hand-to-hand with others. Are you taking a toad familiar too :) Still Spell is a must-have feat for you, I'd imagine! In addition, PHB verbal only spells include: 0th Flare 1st Feather Fall Hold Portal Truestrike 1st 2nd Blindness/Deafness Blur Knock 4th Dimension Door Lesser Geas Polymorph Self Shout 5th Contact Other Plane Teleport 6th Geas/Quest 7th Phase Door Power Word, Stun Teleport without Error Vanish 8th Mass Charm Otto's Irresistable Dance Power Word, Blind 9th Mordenkainen's Disjunction Power Word, Kill Prismatic Sphere Time Stop Wail of the Banshee Wish Cheers [/QUOTE]
