Yes. We now know the strategy of our enemy, and should adjust our preparations to match. Protection against projectiles. Resistance to cold and fear. Spells to combat darkness. Divinations to locate a person.Defense against summoned creatures.
Fellow divine casters, the following could be helpful in an encounter with the Gopher:
- Locate Object (3rd) to pinpoint his location (used on his crossbow, which we should be familiar with)
- Spiritual Weapon (2nd), when paired with Locate Object, will indicate position to everyone
- Mass Conviction (3rd) to defend against memory loss and fear
- Mass Resist Energy (3rd) to defend against cold spells
- Dispel Magic (3rd) to get rid of lingering spell effects
- Wieldskill (1st) to get a bonus on Escape Artist checks when grappled
- Obscuring Mist (1st) or Wind Wall (3rd) for defense against ranged attacks (though neither are mobile)
- Daylight (3rd) for combating darkness
A lot of potentially useful 3rd level spells. Yoshi can prepare 2, which will be Dispel Magic and Locate Object. Can anyone cover some other 3rd level?
Also for consideration Daylight, Cloak of Bravery and Magic Circle would also be useful, but no available capacity.
