[QUOTE="Legildur, post: 2497911, member: 1258"] I'm with Nail on this one. And the spell also helps immeasurably in a grapple. But the funniest thing I've seen in the long time was in our last session, where the only thing standing between the 3rd level sorceror and a fiendish owl bear in the 10 ft wide corridor was the elven rogue brandishing a long spear. Typically the rogue liked to have Enlarge Person cast on him to really up his reach, so the sorceror obliged him this time without him even asking to turn him into a meat shield. The rogue wasn't happy about it and tried to resist the spell, but failed the save. Defensive spells are typically not taken in my group. We usually have 6-7 PCs and most times the arcane caster has a bodyguard of some desciption. Only rarely are they isolated. Grease I chose due to another thread discussing it's possible uses and value. Magic Missile is a no-brainer for us as I can't remember how many times a force effect has been a saviour. Not only that, the chances of a crossbow strike firing through cover into melee when the front line fighter is defending his life are fairly remote, while MM is a sure thing. Enlarge Person, Grease, Magic Missile. [/QUOTE]
