What's your favorite 3rd level Wiz spell?

[Bronn Spellforger]

I usually can't wait until my Wizards reach 5th level to cast 3rd level spells... that's when they begin to take it up a notch. But which is your favorite one?

 

[Henry]

Dispel Magic is my favorite spell. I always have one memorized, and as a sorcerer it is either my first or at worst my second spell known of that level. As the saying goes, the best defense is a good offense!

I'm rather partial to Suggestion. Used properly, it can be potent in and out of combat.

Fly and Haste are also nice.

Because clerics get their entire spell list, and wizards and sorcerers have to worry about spell research or a handful of known spells, I tend to encourage clerics to always keep a Dispel or two on hand, so I don't have to worry about it. One Dispel Magic is in my cleric's default spell load and I have scroll for emergencies.

Definitely Fly.

Why would you need any of the other spells when you can just employ the Monty Python strategy?

ZAPPPP!

Lightning never strikes twice.....or does it?

 

[graydoom]

Mmmmm... I like tem all, but I'll go with Haste.

Had to vote Fireball. Nothing gives you a sense of power like blowing things away with that spell

 

[GnomeWorks]

No, no, Jarval - lightning bolt is better. Lightning is fun. Lightning bolts are a little more choosy than fireballs (IIRC, I don't play wizards/sorcerers often).

slow
