What are your favorite spells in the game?

[drachine]

This is PnP or otherwise. Mine are:

Choke
Prismatic Spray
Blink
Mirror Image
Chromatic Orb
Color Spray
Contingency
Levitate
Wall of Force

Many of these will probably never be implemented.

The original version of the lightning bolt that was changed I gues in 3.0

Lightning bolt was a 'area of effect' that would shoot an electrical field x number of feet wide and a real long x number of feet long from the caster, and would bounce off walls....

No one ever used it right except for a few people...great spell....

It shoots a 120 foot line in 3.5, can break through and continue past barriers, but not bounce off them. Can also set fire to things, and melt some metals. As for width... not really applicable in most cases, as it's assumed to be passing through a set of grids in a straight line, and it affects whatever is in the grids.

As for favorite spells. Ehhh. Hard to say. Teleport is certainly a classic. PnP version, though the one we have in-game is okay.

Online: Symbol of Persuasion. Yes, my sorc carries it. Has since level 12, never swapping it out.

PnP: Horrid Wilting. And a couple of homebrew spells.

I've gotta put this one up for my Sorc buddy. He loves his Ball Lightning. First thought is that, it's a Fireball that deals electric damage; no big whoop, right?

Wrong! It's a combo lightning bolt/fireball. Unlike Fireball that detonates when it first hits any target, Ball Lightning travels through intermediate targets to the intended target AND deals damage along the way. It's essentially a wide path Lightning Bolt that also detonates on target. And the damage cap is a hearty 15d6. Mmmm, tasty!

Finger of Death.

More specifically, it's when I'm hasted, running towards a mob, jump over his head and BAM he's dead

[lenric]

I think everybodies favorite spells should be.....





.....Heal, and Ressurection...Or raise dead if your not a fan of 10 extra spell points for half a bar of life.

yea...but the original version was a width and length by level spell.
If the enwb caster blew it off in a room, it would travel for 90 feet..bouncing back and forth in the room amd killing everything even the party.

everyone thought it was like a bolt and used it wrong...eventually morphing into what it is now. Check out the old ad&d books....awesome crazy spell that caused great havoc and was a party wiper if the caster was new.
