[QUOTE="Helldritch, post: 8007045, member: 6855114"] Yep. But we went for what would be chosen logically. Sorcerers were almost (dare I say never) taking this spell in my area. So we went with what a sorcerer would most likely choose for his limited known seventh level spells. As I said, simulacrum is not that powerful in a normal adventuring day. They get destroyed pretty fast and the cost of casting it is prohibitive in my campaign (4500 gp is a fortune in my campaigns). In addition, most if not all sorcerers are allergic to long rituals. For some reasons, people in my area play sorcerers very aggressively and rituals, save for detect magic and identify, are never taken. This explains why sorcerers would not take simulacrum in my area. Again I must stress that the combattants were not made solely for one on one fight.
