Vote for the Most Powerful Arcane Spell Level...(?)

[kitcik]

In response to [MENTION=6674931]Jimlock[/MENTION] 's XP comment, let me just say that 6th and 7th level spells (the ones with no votes) resulted in my monk getting a new class ability: Wet the Bed.

hmmm...

This raises the very interesting question:

Is it really the fault of 6th-7th spells...or your fault for choosing the worst class in decades?

(thats not to say that i disagree with your initial comment...but... i mean... a monk? dude!: As an old school vet you should have known better!)

5th level for true seeing.

8th level for mind blank.

If you can afford the 250gp every once in a while...

By the time you can cast it, it is well worth investing a few thousand gp for this.

yeah well... if you've got the money to spend it on...
not all campaigns are that rich...

Everybody knows that when a mage reaches the 5th level and gains the 3rd level spells, his power grows dramatically.

Bye, MadLuke.

I said 2nd level. From my perspective as DM, I must say I often have to challenge the PCs using lower level spells than the PCs themselves have access to. 2nd level does this nicely, I rarely feel the need to use 3rd level spells instead and consequently upping the EL quite a bit.
Also, One of the PCs is a 9th level Conjurer right now. He still uses a lot of 2nd level spells, since they don't run out of usefulness: Alter Self, Invisibility, Glitterdust, and Web being his staples. He often says "why use a 4th or 5th level slot when a 2nd level one will do the job nicely".

Ok... I think it is now time that we all remove 6th and 7th level spell lists from our games...

No - we need to boost their power. Casters with access to 6th & 7th level spells are not powerful enough!!
