[QUOTE="Schmoe, post: 1386972, member: 913"] Here are some brainstorming ideas: [b][u]Ghost Sound[/u][/b] - The sound of reinforcements approaching can make an uncertain enemy flee. - Ethereal fanfare can make your entrance more distinguished - An "uncouth" sound can embarass a political rival at the most inopportune moments. [b][u]Ventriloquism[/u][/b] - this is similar to Ghost Sound, but it is your own voice, which can be useful. - An invisible spellcaster can mislead oppoenents. Sure, his spellcasting makes noise, but is it really coming from where you think it is? (My players hated this one.) - Lure a chasing opponent down the wrong path - Make a rival seem to say whatever you'd like him to. Ventriloquism won't change your voice, and it won't make the targets lips move, so you need to pick the right moment for this to work. [b][u]Minor Image[/u][/b] - Illusionary obstacles are great for shaping the battlefield. A pit falling open, a wall appearing. For best effect, try to make the illusion fit into the existing terrain (ie, a grass-covered pit falling open in a field) - Grab the attention of a gathering of people quickly and easily - An illusionary mist can still obscure sight - A skeleton or zombie climbing from the grave can frighten the faint of heart - Illusionary creatures at this level will be no more than momentary distractions, but that moment can be all you need. Direct enemy fire at the illusionary bear you just threw from your "Bag of Tricks", while your friends advance into position. - The illusion of a hole in the prince's britches can help lower public opinion. - Making a sword appear rusty can earn you a discount at the market.
