Krunchy, well, to start off, Mass Dominate is uber-powerful, but IIRC, a bard probably won't have enough levels to get it until later in HOF.

Really, *any* spell with a Will-based save generally work well in HOF, since monsters do not have their Will saves enhanced like their Fort saves are. Even simple Charm and Dire Charm (and Dominate) spells have a very good chance of working in HOF when cast by a higher level caster.

It's also why spells like Greater Command and Symbol of Hopelessness (not Bard spells, I know) are so potent in HOF, since only a VERY few monsters will be able to resist their effects.
