#1 zombiegleemax Mar 04, 2004 14:22:01	I'm a former FR player who just started in a Greyhawk campaign. What would you recommend for a Sorcerer's 5th level 0 spell? I am a level 2 tiefling sorcerer. So far I have: 0- Mage hand. Detect magic, Read Magic , Prestid. 1- MM, Shield Basically i'm looking for something versatile that will work well in a group with 6 other melee-types.
#2 omote Mar 04, 2004 14:36:47	I don't particularly think that one zero-level would be better over another just because you are playing the the world of Greyhawk. It also depends a lot on your GM and the particular campaign you are participating in. I know that is not the answer you are looking for, but... ....................Omote
#3 zombiegleemax Mar 04, 2004 14:48:24	i meant to be more general here. it isn't that i'm a novice player, but this is my first 3.5 game.
#4 cwslyclgh Mar 04, 2004 16:59:17	I would go with either open/close, or one of the attack spells (ray of frost/acid splash/disrupt undead)
#5 boz_shulun Mar 04, 2004 17:38:43	Mending is a nice little versatile spell. Especially if your DM (or other PCs) tend to break stuff.
#6 zombiegleemax Mar 05, 2004 12:05:47	what are some creative ways to get more out of these? like for instance, would you: Use mending to seal someone's cloak over their face? CLOSE a wizard's component bag just as he went for it?
#7 max_writer Mar 05, 2004 14:22:24	Dancing lights is a very useful and versatile spell. I've used the torchlight aspect to check out the extent of a large cavern and light a battle zone. I used the "figure" aspect at least twice (at low level) to distract both hobgoblins and later orcs. The spell doesn't last very long but usually battles don't either. It's also good for rooting out archers hidden in the dark. I used it once to call up a "demon" and scare the hell out of a rude ferry operator.
#8 zombiegleemax Mar 15, 2004 15:35:58	Also Message is one of the most useful cantrips ever! We use something similar constantly in a game (HERO) I am playing in at the moment.
#9 zombiegleemax Mar 15, 2004 16:50:57	give an example, brudda. a sorc needs a lot of mileage on spells
#10 zombiegleemax Mar 15, 2004 17:20:12	Originally posted by Jager give an example, brudda. a sorc needs a lot of mileage on spells Sorry, basically the spell allows you to whisper a message to someone within line of sight. We use it across tavens when we want to alert another PC about something, in fights to co-ordinate activity (such as flanking), to scare the bejezzies out of someone by having a voice suddenly in their ear etc. It is a general utility spell that enables communication without the chance of being overheard - it can be used in LOTs of situations only limited by your imagination and whether you can see the person you need to talk to.
#11 zombiegleemax Mar 16, 2004 8:38:38	I like that. Previously I had used similar tactics albeit with the help of a pseudodragon familiar.
