[QUOTE="Thanee, post: 2924278, member: 478"] Get Heighten Spell. Most important metamagic feat for a sorcerer that uses lots of spells with a negating save. Yes, I know you got the Malign Spell Focus trick, but still, at higher levels, your low-level spells will have too low a DC to be useful anymore, Heighten Spell counters that problem, and suddenly some good 1st or 2nd or 3rd-level spells become viable options to use with your high level slots. BTW, if most of the spells (with a save) you cast are enchantment spells, then Spell Focus + Greater Spell Focus is better than Corrupt Spell + Malign Spell Focus. ;) [i]Glitterdust[/i] is really good (especially when you also have Heighten Spell). And how to know where to cast it? [i]See Invisible[/i] (then not only you can see the invisible threat), bat familiar, good Listen check, ... there are countless options. If you are worried about undead, get [i]Command Undead[/i] at 2nd level. That spell is very nifty. [i]Unluck[/i] is not good, IMHO. You should have plenty other options available to deal with creatures your enchantments don't work against. And against others you will always have a better spell ready, anyways. If you want a good 3rd-level spell to use against most targets, get [i]Slow[/i], which is much better, even against a single target. If you want a spell, that works against pretty much everything, consider [i]Orb of Force[/i]. Don't drop [i]Suggestion[/i], it's one of the most versatile enchantment spells available, especially in combination with Mindbender and the telepathy ability. Also, [i]Suggestion[/i] is not hindered by a [i]Protection from Evil/Good[/i] spell, since it's neither charm nor ongoing control. The [i]Dominate[/i] ability is only 1/day (good enough for sure, but no replacement for a spell). [i]Greater Blink[/i] is highly recommendable. Good choice that! Bye Thanee [/QUOTE]
