[QUOTE="Joker, post: 3219321, member: 826"] There may be equivalents but that doesn't mean they're as good/useful as the spells that are "cliche." And about essential: While no spell is essential, per se, some are damn useful. That said, in our campaign, 2 out of 4 are wizards, necromancer and an everythingalist. Their have a wide variety of spells that they nearly always prepare and usually cast because they are such effective spells. Invisibility, Shade Storm, Firebrand, Mind Blank, Maximized Firebrand, Lightning Bolt, Fly (they're always flying) and Teleport especially is used about 28 times a day. I find these spells to be overused though I can't say that I mind or pay much attention to it. When we look at the battlemap and we see a bunch of opponents all within 30 feet of each other I can see the smile that creeps upon the Firebrand happy mage's face because I know what he's gonna do. Someone makes a comment about, we all laugh, the DM sighs and we continue, because ultimately the game for me at least is more about a few over-used spells. Hope that makes any sense, if not, send questions/comments/complaints to [email]fakemail@fake.fake[/email]. [/QUOTE]
