It won't help versus the dragon. You'll have to use silence to keep it from casting.Next - The most important point about taking on the dragon. If you take it on, try to take it alone. Dragons are very nasty grapplers. Keep this in mind.AC buffs are important. You might not keep it from hitting you, but you'll stop it from power-attacking.Couple of spells that might be useful:Check out Dispel Evil. It's Core, gives a nice deflection bonus, and can be discharged as a touch to automatically dispel a spell. (All against evil only, but I don't think that's in question.)If you can get the dragon to charge through Spike Stones, you might manage to injure it pretty badly - and if you're flying, it won't bother you much. Unfortunately, you'll have to keep the dragon on the ground for this to work - and it might not want to stay there.While it won't help much versus the dragon, Control Winds might be useful versus the wasps. I haven't seen it in use, but mechanically the higher winds look pretty nasty versus smaller critters. (See DMG for details, if you have it.) At the absolute minimum, you'll be able to blow Large or smaller critters around pretty badly - and if you have strong winds, a tornado on demand is pretty effective! Oh, yeah. Don't forget Poison. I don't think there's a nastier touch attack in the game - short of Harm. Druid only - two hits of 1d10 Con, at a DC of 10 + Wis Mod + 1/2 caster level. Ought to be 21+ with the Bead.Protection from Elements has been mentioned. Use it.And don't forget about Searing Light. Yes, it's damage stinks for a single-target, 3rd level spell; but it's a no-save touch attack that deals non-elemental damage.Hope some of that was useful.</blockquote>
