Alright, so my GM decided that to balance spell-casters vs. everyone else, everyone can cast spells. To make casters worth playing, they get to cast more spells. It also makes combat more interesting, as with everyone being able to cast more spells, it means monsters have more spell-like abilities (like dispel magic).
So, with that in mind, here comes the caveat: The system is using a Magic the Gathering setting, and spell point system to cast spells. I am playing a Blue/White Inquisitor, and our GM is allowing 3.5 spells as long as the rest of the group approves of them.
What spells should I be looking for?
How are we supposed to know what color spells are?
That said, the best 3.5 spells as far as I'm concerned are Wraithstrike, Wings of Cover, and Shivering Touch.
Hrm...well I know Shivering Touch would never be allowed, but Wings of Cover might be a good one. I'll snag the basic idea of the pools in a sec.
[Edit]Pools as follows:
Red: Mountains, Fire, Lightning, and Chaos
Example Spells: Fireball, Haste, Transformation
Green: Forests, the Beasts of the Wild, and Life itself
Example Spells: Purify Food and Drink, Summon Swarm, Control Plants
White: Plains, Light, Good, and Law
Example Spells: Mage Armor, Spell Immunity, Break Enchantment
Blue: Islands, Water, Ice, and the Mind
Example Spells: Charm Person, Tongues, Waterbreathing
Black: Swamps, Death, Corruption, and Evil
Example Spells: Inflict, Animate Dead, Blight
Healing spells are classified as Green or White, while the resurrection/raise dead spells are classified as Black/White.
Fair enough. My biggest issue is I don't have that much knowledge playing spell casters, so hoping to draw on the community itself.
As for shutting the other side down, that's more of a Blue/Black thing.
