Magic Symbol on a sleeping watchman's face. Doing it twice (six lines/casting) will give you enough lines to spell a sufficiently naughty word such as "Dick"
(3 lines for D, 1 line for I, 2 lines for C, and 3 lines for K) That should set him up for a bad month.

Mage hand as a poor man's detect magic. It only works on non-magical objects, if you can't pick it up it's magic (or weighs over 5 pounds).

6.Grease spell under a undead dragon. explanation: My bard casted grease and the ranger of the group (who has favored enemy:dragon) did her trip attack and was successful in tripping the dragon. The druid (after sending his companion to its death) casted a fire spell on the now grease laden dragon. It exploded (and the druid wanted to reincarnate his companion which was now ashes mixed with dragon ashes :rolleyes: ).

I got a 100 extra XP. :D

Not that I've ever done this, but stone shape makes a statue of a corpse of a paragon troll, and stone to flesh makes it into a real corpse, and then animate dead makes you the best skeleton minion you've ever had ever.

flying disk under a 600lbs golem and moving it to make the golem fall on a wooden platform... needless to say the golem fell through the floor and we never heard of it again.

In 2nd ed., we encountered home-brew monsters made of granite (there were several varieties, the previous was coal).

There were 11 of them in a pyramid (aditional abilities). We used a Wall of Stone spell (specifically mentions that it can meld an amount of stone of similiar type together. specifically mentions granite.) to weld them all together, and continue walking through the dungeon.

11)*for lich charatcters and BOVD* I enjoyed this one...

Lich's Parlyzing touch plus Graz'zt's Long grasp

Keep your lich safe while incappacitating the characters! and as long as they are in range, the hand can stay there, Prolonging the incapacitation.

^_^

note it only works for ten minutes and as long as you keep passing your grapple checks. that's a downside. :P

in a 2e game there was an evil priest doing a ritual with about 50 lesser priests surrounding him. between him and us were 6 Balors to prevent us from getting to them.

I tried doing an ice storm and something else, didn't stop them. My girlfriend desperately looks at her spell list for any solution and announces "I cast Summon Animals and bring a blue whale into existence above them (yeah I know you can't do this in 3rd for a couple reasons, but it was legal in 2nd). we were fairly new gamers and neither of us had thought of the "drop something very big and heavy" trick.

Our DM approved and gave her a little xp bonus for that one.
