[QUOTE="Shard O'Glase, post: 25706, member: 1134"] Gust of wind had got to be it. I have memorized it and used it and in very specialized circumstances it was somewhat useful, but no where near 3rd level useful. Summon monster, well up to 5 or 6 they suck. The 1 round casting time really wrecks these spells, especially considering you have to target the spell when you begin casting the spell not the end. I don't know how many times I set the spell up so it might be cool, and then people moved so it sucked. But if you're hasted and you don't want to blow two spells this round a full round action isn't so bad for a summon spell as opposed to its normal 1 round. The flanking benefits really are nothing since if your rogue is out in a position where he can flank someone chances are he'll be dead before the summon shows up, and if he is not dead the opponent was such a sucker a MM would of likely handled him anyway. Basically until the 5 or 6 the monsters are way to weak to justify a 1 round casting time. About the only use for these spells is utility, need heal spels summon that celestial something, or a unicorn, need to get through some rock summon that thoquo(sp?). And at one round a level duration utility is greatly limited. [/QUOTE]
