Put a spell in a weapon

[afata5]

Hey all,

My cleric is 16th level and he has a weapon that can store a spell of up to 4th level into it. when the weapon hits, I can choose to use the spell on the "foe"

What I would like to know is, what spell would you find usefull in this circumstance? I curretnly have inflict serious or critical wounds on it (can't remember which).

Ideas?

Thanks,

Al

Poison is a good choice. Save or take 1d10 Con looks good to me!

Are you sure it's up to 4th and not 3rd level? Does it have the "targeted" restriction as a normal spell storing weapon?

What sources are allowed?

What domains do you have?

Are there any other spellcasting party members willing cast a spell into your weapon for you?

That said, inflict wounds spells are always a plus. If 4th level really is allowed, then poison would be an excellent choice.

Thanks for the replies so far I am sure that it is 4th level, however it might be a modified vresion than the one in the DMG. It is a special weapon (with Ego and all) and only I can cast a spell into it. Yes it has to be targetted btw.

The reason I didn't use the Poison so far is due to the saving throw...all or none. at least with inflict, there is a chance for pain....unfortunetly there are very few spells that have dmg if the save succeeds for the Cleric...

Since its only 4th level, the save is pretty low (I have a Wis of 26)..compared to the badies that we fight...also, i'm more of a spell caster than a melee guy so most of the times if i fight a bad guy, it is a fighter type with a good save on fort...but bad save on will....


As for sources, pretty much everything goes...but not boed/bovd...

As for domains: Trickery/Luck

Any thoughts?

Summon Monster IV.... sure it's probably not allowed cause its not a targetted spell, but imagine hitting an opponent and having 1d3 celestial bison pop out!

Touch spells are not targeted IIRC so your Dm is being generous.

Trickery; Confusion: Subjects behave oddly for 1 round/level.
Cleric 3: Bestow curse
Spell compendium: Cleric 4: Life ward: I think it is a will save and prevents cure spells on recipient

Sure they are: Target: Creature touched.

IIRC, Inflict Serious Wounds is even given as an example of good spells to use with a Spell Storing weapon in the DMG, is it not?

How about Dispel Magic? A targeted Dispel on someone you hit could be quite handy. Considering your level, Greater Dispel would be better, of course, but that's 6th lvl.

I almost always chose Dispell, cant think of anything id rather have in there. I was a paladin though, and magical defenses anoyed him to an unreasonable degree.

Held action to dispell with extreme prejudice, Holy smiteing dispell batman...
