[QUOTE="Draz, post: 4643249, member: 67515"] Assuming you're not trying to avoid Polymorph cheese ... Assuming you're staying away from many useful defensive spells that a Cleric can cover (e.g. Remove Curse), in hopes that your party will end up with a Cleric ... Assuming your DM interprets Shadow Evocation/Conjuration fairly liberally, like most DMs seem to (but not mine) ... WAND: Endure Elements (or get magic items that simulate it), Silent Image L0 (9): ... whatever. Definitely Message, it's undervalued. L1 (5): Ray of Enfeeblement, Protection from Evil, Feather Fall, Magic Missile, Grease L2 (5): Glitterdust, Resist Energy, Rope Trick, Mirror Image, Web L3 (4): Greater Magic Weapon, Haste, Slow, Stinking Cloud L4 (4): Shadow Conjuration, Resilient Sphere, Enervation, Polymorph L5 (4): Persistent Image, Teleport, Baleful Polymorph, Overland Flight L6 (3): homebrew, Greater Dispel Magic, Acid Fog L7 (3): homebrew, Limited Wish, Spell Turning L8 (3): Mind Blank, Greater Shadow Evocation, Dimensional Lock* L9 (3): Shapechange, Time Stop, Dominate Monster *Wouldn't normally recommend, but in a high-level one-shot where you know there will be lots of demons, it's a different story. On the other hand, for the same reasons, I'm [I]not[/I] recommending e.g. Invisibility or Greater Invisibility. Reflex tends to be the weakest save for demons and dragons, so I gave you all three Core low/mid-level Reflex Save Or Suck spells (Web, Resilient Sphere, Grease). Especially because Resilient Sphere has defensive uses and Grease has utility or anti-grapple uses. Take Heighten Spell for sure. A few cross-class ranks of UMD probably couldn't hurt, with your Charisma. Then you could keep a couple handy scrolls of Cleric spells (or Glibness or Freedom of Movement) around. Anything you want, but don't have, you can get on-the-fly via Shadow Conjuration, Greater Shadow Conjuration, Limited Wish, or (at worst) Shapechange. [/QUOTE]
