Contingencies. A soloist's savior!

Anyone got any good ideas for contingencies. I'm taking my sorc alone through the game and need a good back up plan for the lower levels. Towards the end of SoA i discovered the value of a good back up plan and found that a Chain contingency with improved mantle, protection from the elements and simulacrum was just the ticket. Unforunately i dont know any of these spells yet.

What sort of levels are we talking about? If you're talking very early levels, try a stoneskin, that's always nice when you're getting beaten up by non-fire arrows =). Protection from Magical Weapons. Mislead. Basically any of the "good" defensive spells.

Stoneskin and protection from magic weapons are handy but the only time a contingency comes into play for me is when i'm helpless (held, unconscious etc.) and these protections usually wear off before my sorc gets his act together. What i need is a good summons spell to keep whatever is killing me (usually lichs and demons in chapter 2) occupied until i wake up. This is where simularum was great as you still had most of the skills, spells and items of your character. It was like they never went down.

As nice as it would be... you cannot stuff scrolls into a (Chain) Contingency.

Nor can you stuff them into (Minor) Spell Sequencer / Trigger.
