I'm playing a Bard 6/Lyric Thaumaturge 5/Sublime Chord 6
Bard spells known: 0-6;1st-4;2nd-4;3rd-4;4th-3
Lyric T. spells known: 1st-1;2nd-1
Sublime Chord spells known: 4th-4;5th-4;6th-3;7th-2
This campaign centers on a raid into the Abyss again Orcus, so primarily I want spells to protect against, or damange evil outsiders and undead
Happily, neither is typically resistant to sonic energy.
Must haves:
- Resounding Voice - from Heroes of Battle, Bard 2, S component only; counters and dispells silence
- Sonic Orb (and lesser S.O.) nice damage, especially with the damage boost from Lyric Thaumaturge's Sonic Might class feature. No SR and no save
- Either Greater Shout or Cacophonic Burst (maybe both?) both Area damage spells, the Burst is basically a sonic fireball doing 20d6 (augmented by sonic might.) Greater Shout does less damage, but stuns and deafens
- Inspirational Boost - an essential for any bard
Beyond these spells, there are a lot of really nice buffing/protection spells - and I'm having trouble choosing from among them.
I can have 2 or 3 1st level sor/wiz spells, 2 or 3 2nd-level sor/wiz spells, 1 or 2 3rd level sor/wiz spells - the rest of my 0-3rd spells have to come from the bard list (I can add a total of 3 1st-3rd sor/wiz spells through swaps, plus the 1st & 2nd level spells from Lyric T.)
all my 4-7th spells can be either bard or sor/wiz - using the lower level if a spell is on both lists.
any suggestions?
