I'll be playing a Dragonwrought Kobold Warmage 3 in an upcoming campaign. Warmage wasn't my first choice, but I'm determined to make the best of it. I've played under this DM before and we can be reasonably certain to make it into the higher levels.
My plan is to take Warmage 6 and gain Ray of Stupidity (SpC) via Eclectic Learning (PH2) and then PrC into Rainbow Servant (CDiv) as the DM agrees with the 'text trumps table' rule that grants Rainbow Servant 10/10 spell progression.
Well, I've had my character take Draconic Rite of Passage (RotD). For those of you unfamiliar with it, you basically trade 1 permanent hp to gain a Sorcerer spell of 1st level as a 1/day spell-like ability with a caster level equal to character level. This can be increased to 3/day via a feat.
The party so far looks like it will consist of an Artificer, a Monk, a Rogue, and my Warmage. Since the Artificer and the rogue (via UMD) can manage utility, I'm looking for a useful spell to use 1/day or 3/day.
So far, I've considered the following
{table]Lesser Shivering Touch|1d6 dex damage that lasts 1 min/level
Hoard Gullet|My kobold is small and weak, so a 1 hr/level bag of holding seems handy. I'm actually strongly considering this one.
Ray of Enfeeblement|Generally good, but I feel like I'd be wasting potential
Protection from X|Immunity to compulsions is great, but the 1 min/level duration makes me wonder if 1/day is enough
Shield|Obviously good, but I can use light shields which means this will eventually become useless
Power Word Pain|I don't really think the opponents will last long enough to make this worth it and it doesn't benefit from Warmage Edge
Grease|There's a rogue in the party. 'Nuff said[/table]
So my question and the suggested discussion are:
What do you consider the best spell to take with Draconic Rite of Passage and why?
