Spells that work well for monster encounters

[danielxcutter]

As title. I believe Blood Wind is quite useful for monsters that use natural weapons, for one, and the dragonblooded spells are quite powerful for, you guessed it, dragons(or others, such as a monster with the half-dragon template). Sure there are others though - any particular ones?

Scintillating Scales. Natural Armor becomes Deflection.

No more touch attacks on your poor dragons.
/well, the Wizard might miss anyway. Or have to cast True Strike first.

Oh yeah, I know that one. Great in case your PCs have access to Frostburn. Couldn't remember how to spell it though. :smalltongue:

Monsters typically have an easier time getting blindsense/blindsight/tremorsense/mindsight than PCs, which makes vision-denying spells (Darkness, Fog Cloud) much better.
