Nah, that's only when I start using only Chromatic Orbs to kill Dragons, Illithids and Beholders. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Like we said many times before, and we'll keep saying in the future - a matter of playing style, i guess. [img]smile.gif[/img]
I just prefer spells that always work.
Failure annoys me. Call me perfectionist.

As I mentioned before in the other thread, my style consists of bombarding the enemy with so many spells that one way or another, the enemy will die. The stoning metaphor if you recall.
Call it success on a broader scale.

That is, i would rather throw a Teleport Field that would actually do something now than a Greater Malison that might help another spell later.
On the same logic, i would memorize Project Image, or even Power Word : Stun (yes, i know that Pw:S is HP dependent) instead of Finger of Death anyday. Pw:S means death anyway, becuase Stun causes Auto-Hits(TM).
And we both know the merits of Project Image... Right?

Greater Malison and Feeblemind are level 4 and 5 spells respectively. Project Image and Power Word:Stun are both level 7 spells. You have to wait until the enemy is of sufficiently low HP to use PW:S. I on the other hand, can render the enemy impotent
PERMANENTLY( compared to a few measly rounds with PW:S) much earlier, leading to much fun as you plot ways to exercise your sadism. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
ADD] Although if I cast FoD instead, it is game over for the target anyway... pity most of the bosses are immuned to instant-death effects, or those fights would quickly degenerate into 3 rounds battle, [img]tongue.gif[/img] although when I think about it, they
are still 3 rounds battle affairs. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]
