Need help selecting one spell.

Ok some nice suggestions there.

I'd totally forgotten about Telekinesis; I could really ruin someones day using that to hurl X arrows that I can enchant with Keen Edge and Flame Arrow.

Mind Fog definitely sounds interesting seeing as my main back up to Necromancy is Enchantment for that all round warlocky feel, (without actually being a warlock!).

Summons 5 is a definite contender. I've always liked those Lantern Archons seeing as they can pump out a steady 2x 1d6 touch attack rays I believe? Not instant game winners but a continual wear down of HP's.

Hold Monster and Dominate are tempting also.

Not sure about the walls and rock to mud though as the arena tends to change each round or so, so they're not "guranteed" to be even marginally effective.

Some food for thought; thanks

It's really to bad you can't take wall of force. Simply wall of the barbarians until there rage is over, then fight them. That would piss them off something fierce.

The best spell I found for that situation is Waves of Fatigue, but I assume that's the one you already took.

...Wow, Level 5 Necro spells blow. My condolences.

Take something non-Necro for your 5th and use Metamagic to fill your Necro-only slot.

Why use Summon Monster when you can use Summon Undead?

I'm going to have to go with Cloudkill on this one for one simple reason:

You're a necromancer. The cloud will not harm your undead minions in the slightest.

Yup, Waves of Fatigue baby

I would have taken Symbol of Pain if I had the forsight and the cash but never mind!

Sorry dude, must take one Necro spell/level and then one other of my choice; I think yer getting a bit confused as to the request.

I'm happy with be able to select my slots for any given day, (well sort of.....never have enough), however I need a choice for my second new spell for attaining 5th level.

Ok as a general rule I do not summon or create undead as I'm going for more of a cursey typr Necro ie. stat drains, fear etc.

And undead REALLY suck at my level!!!

Again, no undead minions which IMHO would get totally blown to pieces with Dwarven Barbarian, ragey, cleavy blah blah blah......where did my minions go?

Also I now agree with a previous poster re Fort save spells and that's a nono!

Thanks to the guy who posted Mind Fog. I've had a look at it and it's really crying out to me. It's AoE and more likely to effect these guys.

If I even get one of them with it then I have 2nd level spells which will take it out for about 8 rounds

So thanks and wish me luck
