If there was ever a spellpool spell, it's Identify.Level 2:I'm not really a fan of mirror image but some people like itProtection from arrows has a reasonable duration but not an especially long one--still, in most campaigns, I haven't seen it to be useful enough for a sorceror's known spell. (My Living Greyhawk character has had it for 3 levels and has only cast it about five times. Out of those five times, it's only stopped damage once--the other times, nobody hit the target with arrows.)Bull's Strength: in a party with 2 clerics, bull's strength is their job. If you're going to get a buff spell and not rely on spellpool for that (a viable option given the long duration), get something the clerics can't cast (Cat's Grace is a good choice).Level 3:Tongues: is not generally a top pick for sorcerors--especially not in a combat heavy campaign like RttToEE. It's useful in a rather limited range of circumstances so a sorceror can just by a couple of scrolls and probably have it available any time he would need it for the rest of his career. Anyway, if you need it, you can get it from the spellpool. An extra couple of rounds won't hurt.Level 4:Stoneskin is a good spell but it has a rather expensive material component so I don't imagine that a sorceror would be casting it multiple times (which is really the strength of a sorceror--he doesn't know many spells but he can cast the ones he does know a whole lot). Polymorph self and polymorph other are rather conspicuous in their absence from this list as well--at least one of them should be in a sorceror's repertoire.</blockquote>
