[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 7246536, member: 5889"] I think plant growth is one of those spells that seems minor until you see it in its full glory. The thing is, this spell offers a lot of things other spells do not. 1) Its instantaneous. You cannot dispel it. It just happens. 2) No concentration. Many of the other spells in this list take concentration. 3) Its difficult/difficult terrain. 1/4 your normal speed...that is incredibly slow. 4) It has a huge radius, 100 foot radius....even some high level spells don't have that kind of radius. Basically this spell is a ranged attackers dream and it combos very well with the other spells here. You know what sucks more than spike stone? Spike stones in a plant growth field. In the right area, you can bomb the crap out of a melee focus creature. This is an opening spell against the Tarrasque! If you cast this on a melee creature with 30 foot speed, it will literally take it [B]7 rounds[/B] to get out of it! If your party hasn't pin-cushioned the heck out of it by then you are doing something very wrong. The thing about druid and cleric spell is it is completely fine for them to be very situational, as they can swap out spells as they see fit. If your party knows they are going after melee focused monsters in a wooded area, this spell can be gold. I wouldn't ever take it otherwise...but that's fine, as I will take it when I need it.
