Plane Sailing said:For those with access to spells from the divine list I think Miracle is likely to be far more popular, since there is a heck of a lot of things you can miracle without any xp cost!
I was going to defend Wish (but not Gate) as something you might not need more than once in a hundred years, but when you do you really need it. But Miracle is definately a superior choice where available.
I should say thanks for the suggestions (and I will be checking out the B.A.D.D site when Ihave the time), and try a suggestion myself: Stoneshape seems like it would useful for the entrance to a lair.
