Favorite 3rd Level Spell

Negative Energy Blast

Major Image, of course. Nothing quite as flexible as a good illusion, especially when you can add the thermal component to your illusionary Walls of Fire...

It's true. Higher levels may have more powerful spells, but 3rd level is the coolest!

I chose Haste because the last time I had an NPC use it against the party it was one of the most fun fights we've had this campaign (it was actually a cleric with a potion, actually). 2nd level's coolest spell is Web, it's nasty.

Fireball.

You could take away all the other spells and it would still be D&D. But Fireball? No. That spell is quintessential to D&D.

It isn't about which spell is most useful. It is about someting far more profound than that. It is quite simply unfathomable to think of D&D without the good ol' Fireball.

Dispel magic stinks.

Session before last our wizard cast it *twice* trying to dispel a spell that had half our party out of action including our best fighter. Guess what? He unsummoned the celestial dire bear my cleric had just summoned and dispelled haste on her. Then went on to dispel half the beneficial spells I'd cast on the party. Didn't even touch that firk-ding-blasted gluttony spell on any of them.

Haste is just too cool for words.

Fireball is classic, fun, and effective especially with help from energy substitution .---

Sonic Boom!
Ahh theres nothing quite like it....

Haste...

"Fly me to the moon and let me play among the stars..."

Well, you get the idea. Can't hurt me if you can't catch me

It's campaign-specific but I have to vote for Jerakai's Embrace. It gives you an extra set of arms.

I'm a big fan of BLink at the moment.

When you multiclass the damage spells aren't as alluring but blink is always fun.

I like dispel magic too.
