[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 7259314, member: 5889"] Taking a good look at the list, I could see Bless as either 3rd or 4th level. I don't think there is any 2nd level buff that ranks with bless. At 3rd its competing with Haste. Haste is really good...but bless's ability to hit 3 targets out of the gate is also really nice. You've also got protection from energy which is a decent defensive buff. At 4th you have Greater Invisibility, which again is single target...but if the creature can't see you give you tremendous offensive and defensive advantages. Damn its tough. I'd probably say 3rd, but I still think its a spell you would see commonly used at 3rd. The problem is the 3 targets. The bonus itself is nice don't get me wrong, but what sells bless is you basically can buff the majority of the party with a single spell. If it was a single target 1st level would be just fine...great effect, but one person. But with 3 it competes so well with other spells....even a great buff like haste...you have the 1 great buff vs 3 solid buffs. [/QUOTE]
