Hey all. I'm just playing around with a character concept for a backup character in an Epic Level campaign. The character is a Sorcerer/Master Transmogrifist with a few levels in Warshaper and Abjurant Champion. I'm looking at his selection of spells and would appreciate any insights/thoughts/suggestions you might have. I'm tentatively figuring that a lot of defenses and attacks can be generated through the infinite variety ability so I'm not sure it makes a lot of sense to take spells that just replicate powers that I could get through that.
To keep things managable, I'd just assume limit the books to PHB and SC, though the DM actually lets us use anything we can find. My current list is below, and I've italicized spells that I'm already leaning towards dumping, but I'm open to any thoughts. (If it's helpful, favored forms I'm leaning towards are: Cryo-hydra, Dark Tentacles, Red Dragon, Mind Flayer, Rat, War Troll, and Will o' Wisp.)
First
Blood Wind
Enlarge Person
Mage Armor
Shield
True Strike
Second
Alter Self
Balor Nimbus
Fearsome Grapple
Scintillating Scales
Wraithstrike
Third
Blink
Dragonskin
Haste
Spell Vulnerability
Fourth
Corporeal Instability
Dimension Door
Polymorph
Stoneskin
Fifth
Baleful Polymorph
Draconic Might
Draconic Polymorph
Vulnerability
Sixth
Disintigrate
Greater Dispel Magic
Superior Resistance
Seventh
Avasculate
Energy Immunity
Greater Teleport
Eighth
Invisibility, Superior
Polymorph Any Object
