The "dcollins' poll" sorcerer

[Thanee]

Solid Fog - I love that spell... among other things, it's great for keeping large dumb opponents busy for a long time

This also works with smart opponents...

In one game I was DM'ing, I had an NPC wizard "trap" the party with Solid Fog, while his buddies were raiding a wagon train, the party was with.

After a couple rounds the PCs were out of the dense fog and it was, of course, too late by then.

THEN... the PC wizard remembered his Dimension Door spell.

Sounds like spellcasters in my campaign. The guy who didn't remember his spell, that is

Identify should be replaced with Ray of Enfeeblement

Well, the above spells are just taken directly from the poll for the best wizard spells of the various levels. If I had to choose, I would also replace Wish.

Interesting. Here is the Sorcerer12 from my current campaign with his different choices bolded:

1st - Magic Missile, Mage Armor, Shield, Ray Enfeeble, True Strike
2nd - Glitterdust, Invisibility, See Invisibility, Resist Energy, Blind/Deaf
3rd - Fireball, Fly, Dispel Magic, Lightning Bolt
4th - Greater Invisibility, Stoneskin, Enervation
5th - Feeblemind, Teleport
6th - Disintegrate

I think the player looked at things like Ray of Enfeeblement and Enervation as having good synergy with Empower or Maximize. Obviously Fireball has good synergy there too.

Looking it over, Resist Energy is the standout difference to me. Does everyone else just count on good Reflex saves? ;-)

Nope, we depend on the Cleric/Druid to cover that. Prot energy spells are far superior, and if absolutly nessary there are scrolls to be had.

Gizzard, see above, this is not meant as a "perfect" sorcerer spell selection or something like that.

Basically it is just a way of displaying the results of the various polls.
