05-18-06, 06:10 PM I have been thinking of doing a character that focus not on damge spells in the battlefield but more of Manipulating the Battlefield with spells like changing or modifying the area with earthquakes, entangle or something like that. The problem I am having now is which class would work best that can both have a good spells list and casting those spells during a day. any ideas?

Just off hand though, id probably say druid or cleric.

Hope this helps,

I once put together a PrC based partially around the concept and listed quite a few arcane "battlefield control" spells straight from the PHB and Spell Compendium.

(See the second post...though withoput formatting it's less clear than it was originally.)
