Aerie's Contingencies

Remove all ads!

What are some of your favorite Chain Contingencies and Spell Triggers with Aerie's massive spell capabilities at high levels?

I like to add Heal/Stoneskin/Imp.haste set to go off when her HP's hit 25%. That usually saves her and lets her escape anything that was endangering her.

On the offensive, Greater Malison/ADHW/ADHW at the nearest enemy sighted is one of my favorites.

 

i like: lower resistance, lower resistance, lower resistance and then pummel the enemy with flesh to stone or finger of death

works great against firkraag.

 

I used both in Firkraag and Adalon "Lower Resistance, Great Malison, Flesh to Stone". It worked the very first time I used it, so I didn't have to reload . Nice statue...

Another trigger I'm very fond of is the one with 3 flame arrows, I use that on fighters and other bulky enemies; at level 15 each arrow produces 3 arrows that do 1d6 physical and 4d6 fire. At the end you deliver 9d6 physical and 36d6 fire; half of the fire damage if the enemy saves vs. spells. Anyway, 9d6+36d3 is really a pain!!
At level 20, 12d6+48d6; at 25 15d6+60d6. Be careful, Edwin is aiming at you!!

Well, it depends on whether you want the "damage" to go into the sequence, or be cast immediately following it. In the first case, you can either put triple damage or two "weakeners" and then a damage spell. But I generally go for all weakeners, allowing me to choose the damage spell to suit the target. As a result, I generally have "lower resistance" twice, followed by a "greater malison".

 

I once put a Greater Restoration and two Horrid Wiltings in a chain contigency. Boy were the enemies shocked when that went off in battle.

 

I usually have invisibility, stoneskin and a moster summoning spell in a contigency, triggered when helpless. Only problem is that they trigger during dream sequences too!
