[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 7206124, member: 29398"] Looking at your list again you have CS listed as 1st-level...where it deserves a higher rating. Also, some real arguments with the 3rd-level list - it seems your ratings are all to do with how useful a spell is in combat as opposed to the rest of the time. Combat isn't everything. Create Food and Water - one of the best utility spells out there...no more carrying rations, no more dying of thirst in the desert. Should be at least mid-"Not Bad", as an average of not much use sometimes and spectacularly useful at others Remove Curse - should be right alongside Dispel Magic in the "Good" list...or at least you'll think so once your bacon has been saved by its use a few times Speak With Dead - does nobody ever talk to their defeated foes any more? This should be SOP! Raise to "Good" Tongues - this one really depends on whether one's game has more or less realistic language rules and use. Low end of "Not Bad". Plant Growth - does anyone ever cast this? Ever? Yeah, didn't think so. :) Down into "Least Useful" for me. 3rd level overall is one where there really aren't many spells that would rate below "Not Bad". Lanefan [/QUOTE]
