View Full Version : Illusionist with debuffs?

I want to make a focus specialist illusionist/nightmare spinner/incantrix. The schools I will be banning are necromancy, evocation, conjuration and enchantment. That leaves me with illusion, abjuration, divination, and transmutation.

I know this seems kind of limited, but the character idea is something I really want to play. He focuses on changing the world around him (illusion and transmutation) and protecting allies. I also want to be able to debuff enemies. Illusions is the only school with real debuffs out of my 4. I know about things like color spray, hypnotic pattern, and phantasmal killer, but that's about it.

What spells can I use as an illusionist debuffer? Spells that are not mind affecting are especially good.

By the way, I don't want to just go with extra real shadow conjuration/evocation. I will use those some, but I want real illusions (heh, get it?).

PHBII has:
Blinding Color Surge, which blinds an enemy for a round and makes you invisible.
Phantom Battle, which flanks all enemies.
Vertigo Field (non-mind affecting pattern) that gives 20% miss to all inside and nauseated enemies, but not allies.

Those are the ones I recall right now, I'll check for more when I get to my books.

So... Is that it? Are there only 3 of these in all of 3.5? Thanks for those, anyway.

Checking the treantmonk guide I get:
Net of Shadows
Delusions of Grandeur
Vertigo
Phantasmal Strangler
Friend to Foe

I know that doesn't cover all of the books, can anyone help me with finding the rest?
