Most of my spellcasting characters keep a scroll of it handy. It's not a spell that you use all the time but when you are surprised from behind by a dozen orcs, an obscuring mist will give you time to regroup. Similarly, if you're facing a horde of rogues or archers, obscuring mist or fog cloud can neutralize their main attacks. Obscuring mist is also useful if you're trying to delay an overpowering force of enemies. Since they can't see where you are, they can't make tactically sound manuevers to surround you. It buys you a lot of time.Re: other interruptor spells:I play with a bard who plans to start using tanglefoot bags with silence cast on them to destroy enemy spellcasters. It sounds like it will be a very effective tactic.As a DM, I've seen a ftr1/clr 5 with blindfighting take on an entire party of 6th to 7th level characters by herself under the cover of deeper darkness. And she came very close to winning as well. Having effectively a 25% miss chance when all your opponents have a 50% miss chance is very effective. If you can find a way to split them up as well, it will be very hard for them to find you and whichever ally you're fighting too. Of course, it really slows combat down so you don't want to use it too often.</blockquote>
