Domi Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Heya, everyone. If you are playing with Peony, I was wondering if you could give me a list of spells you use most often on each spell level. I am going to update Peony's higher-level CRE's so that her spell-book is not empty, and I'd rather put in the things that people find useful, than doing a wild-cat method. Thanks in advance!

Shieara Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I don't have Peony, but I do have a fighter mage. Here are some spells from her selection (level 2+). 2nd Snilloc's Snowball Swarm Blur Mirror Image Melf's Acid Arrow Vocalize (if you did not give Peony the silent casting feat) 3rd Fireball or Lightning Bolt Haste Melf's Minute Meteors Flame Arrow Summon Monster 3^ Magic Circle Against Evil Stinking Cloud 4th Stoneskin* Summon Monster 4^ Malison* Minor Globe of Invulnerability Vitriolic Sphere Improved Invisibility Emotion: Hope 5th Summon Monster 5^ Lower Resistance* Cloudkill Cone of Cold Globe of Invulnerability 6th Chain Lightning Disintegrate Summon Monster 6^ Globe of Invulnerability ^ I don't normally take summon spells on my mages if I am running a druid in the party, since their summons are awesome. The later mage summons can be things like salamanders, which have auras that damage your party. So those may or may not be something you would want to include. * Spells I highly recommend. Stoneskin is too got not to use, and the spells that lower resistance/saving throws can be great on a mage. Consider adding Vocalize to the list if you did not give Peony the silent casting feat. Being silenced is irritating. Link to comment
Domi Posted June 26, 2007 Author Share Posted June 26, 2007 Thank you so much! Unless there will be some discussion/other suggestions, I'll just borrow the whole list (save for what she won't be able to cast as an illusionist). Link to comment
Lord Ernie Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I'll look over her spelllist later on today, and post some more suggestions . Link to comment
Lord Ernie Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Let me cover the higher spell levels, much like Shieara has done, going all the way up to 9th level. 2nd Snilloc's Snowball Swarm Mirror Image Power Word (Sleep) Invisibility Melf's Acid Arrow NOTE: Peony has subvvocal casting, so no Vocalize. 3rd Fireball (= much better than Lightning Bolt) Haste Hold Person Magic Circle Against Evil (-> I always left this one to Valeero, but otherwise very good spell) 4th Emotion: Hope (this is by far and away one of the best group buff spells in the game) Stoneskin (must have) Malison Otiliku's Resilient Sphere (perfect for taking a strong opponent out of combat for a while) 5th Dominate Person Lower Resistance Cone of Cold 6th Mass Haste Flesh to Stone Disintegrate Chain Lightning 7th Mordenkainen's Sword Malavon's Rage Delayed Blast Fireball 8th Power Word, Blind Symbol of Hopelessness Symbol of Stunning 9th Meteor Swarm Executioner's Eyes Mass Dominate Link to comment
Guest Tempest Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Peony's my only mage in my play-through, so I give her all the arcane scrolls I come across. However, I mostly use her for AoE spells-I play very melee-heavy in IWD2, with Valeero buffing Nord/Hildury/Prachi/Charname (a rogue) up, the main character scouting ahead, laying down a barrage with Peony, and letting melee do the rest. I generally don't even bother with stoneskin, mirror image and the like for her-she's a blue-haired artillery cannon in my games, and her spell loadouts reflect it. Not very helpful for planning her higher-level spell selection, I know, but it's my two cents on the matter. Link to comment
Mika Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 This is the list of spells I use in the most of battles. Peony in my party can't cast spells of higher levels yet, so level 6 is her limit now . Hope it will help somehow. 2 Aganazzar's Scorcher Bull's Strength Melf's Acid Arrow Web 3 Fireball Haste Melf's Minute Meteors Hold Person 4 Emotion: Hope Emotion: Rage Modenkainen's Force Missiles Ice Storm 5 Shroud of Flame Summon Monster V Cloudkill Cone of Cold 6 Globe of Invulnerability Acid Storm Summon Monster VI Link to comment
Raven_Song Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Peony's spell selection from my game in Chpter 6. (Please note - I was usng Peony primarily as a bombardier so her spell selection was offence orientated. Nikosh was my more generalist mage.) Level 1 Magic Missile, Chromatic Orb Level 2 Mirror Image, Blur, Aganazar's Scorcher, Melf's Acid Arrow Level 3 Fire Ball, Ice Lance Level 4 Otiluke's Resiliant Sphere, Ice Storm Level 5 Dominate Person, Chaos, Lower Resistance Level 6 Shades, Acid Fog, Disintegrate Level 7 Mordenkainen's Sword, Prismatic Spray, Mass Invisilibility, Delayed Blast Fireball Level 8 Symbol of Pain Level 9 Meteor Swarm Link to comment
Domi Posted June 27, 2007 Author Share Posted June 27, 2007 Awsome! Thank you very much! I compiled a list, mixing and matching your suggestions, so I think she'll have a fair starter-kit Link to comment
