Your Favorite 2nd lvl Arcane Spell ?

[Rashak Mani]

We have the 3rd lvl spell poll going... lets find the 2nd lvl one...

 

[Mustrum_Ridcully]

All the presented spells are good and useful, but the most used spell seems to be "Cat`s Grace", at least in our campaign. Bump your AC and your ranged attack values...

 

[Zhure]

Alter Self, although Rope Trick is a close second.
Greg

 

[Victim]

Rope Trick, once the wizard is at least 8th level. Resting in safety can be very necessary.

 

[Jezrael]

Melf's Acid Arrow will always have a soft spot in my heart, now all's that's needed are called shot rules for some acidic goodness!

 

[Bronn Spellforger]

You really can't beat invisibility (well, I guess you can with improved invisibility later)

... although I've found that Protection from Arrows can be a lifesaver. On the 3rd level poll, someone voted for Web.

 

[Darklone]

spells

Well. Web, Cat's grace, Bull's strength... Endurance is very important... Agannazars scorcher seems to be very nice for sorcerers...

But invisibility is best. The only second level spell I know that is forbidden in many campaigns.

 

[Baron Von StarBlade]

Blur for that anti-sneak attack action,
Cat's Grace for the enhanced AC

But I've noticed Web is the show stopper in all of our campaigns. It will literally stop a bunch of beasties in there tracks when used properly.

Blur gives you 20% only, while Mirror Image gives you multiple images you end up more protected than with blur...

I just couldn't do without mirror image.

My rogue/Wizard was once out scouting while the party was recouping and investigating a magical seal. I stumbled upon a group of bugbears that were trying to sneak up on the party.

I cast Alter Self (changed into a drow, we were underground))

Shadow Conjuration (summon moster, drow).
And mirror image.

I ambushed the 20+ bugbears as I was an entire drow raiding party.

After foru rounds of combat they broke and ran (failed morale).

Yes this was an old 2E game. But I've just had such a soft spot in heart for Mirror image ever since.
