Hi!

Imagine an elven wizard, who has collegiate wizard and elf wizard substitution, thus can take 5 spells per level.

What spells would you take, if you would be sure there's no realistic chance to aquire spells any other way?

What are those ~10 spells / spell level that you would take withouth hesitation?

(Yes, I'm playing an elven wizard and yes, there's no real opportunity to get spells any other way - as in, no enemy wizards with spellbooks, no buying scrolls, no money to invent spells, etc :/)

Ideas?

A forum search on the rather excellent 'god's tools' series will give you a few more ideas.

My brain is cheese this morning, so I'm no help.

The problem is all the threads are... scattered. What the heck, I'll just go about and combine the spell recommendations given in those to a single thread.

Or use Handy Links. I am well aware of that, I have lurked around for quite some time.

Suggesting things to Tshern is like telling the sun about fusion. He already knows, because he's very bright and very old.

Streamers from Shining South is probably up there as some of my absolute favorite silliness.
Where else can you taunt someone to death?
Any action, after all, includes free actions. Talking back is a free action.
