    Give me some tips please...

    (I have most of the spells, because I've picked up all the spells I've found, and spent all my money on spells...)

    [​IMG] Favorite Spells:

    The first has got to be Web. I use it ALL the time (before HoW anyways), especially since it can give you a little bit of breathing space when you get swarmed by enemies.

    And the second is Summon Earth Elemental. It gives your front line fighters a break when getting swarmed, especially playing Heart of Fury. The nice thing is that most creatures attacks are ineffective against them, so they last longer.

    The third spell used alot would be Fireball.

    [​IMG] Magic Missile, Fireball, Sunfire, Haste and Web are necessities. The "Emotion" spells are kinda nifty too.

    Has anyone used the "Chained Lightning" spell? Every time that I've used it and thought I was far enough away from the targets, it always manages to bounce back and fry a few of my party members. Do you need to be in the next county from your target when you cast it?

    I have tried out different spells,
    and since my bard is just backup plan,
    I use the spells:
    haste
    invisibility
    troll something (which gives me regeneration)
    greater invisibility
    mass invisibility
    etc...

    dont forget about chromatic orb. I used that to stun that snake-woman and then stomp a mud hole in her. at lower levels, it is better than magic missle (when you only get one or two).

    anagazzar's scorcher is my favorite spell..it's just bakes your enemies over and over again. It wipes the floor with cold using creatures. Mordenkainen's force missiles rocks as well...

    I prefer the invocation and summoning type spells. Magic Missle, Melf's Acid Arrow (good to finish off trolls with), Fireball, Mordenkainen's Force Missles, Monster Summoning I - VII, Summon Elemental Spells, Cloud Kill, Finger of Death, and Disintegrate. Mass Invisibility is also cool.

    Yes, the whole interface is essentially the same as BG.
