| Welcome to the Layonara forums!
Layonara is so much more than a game. We started off as a tabletop Dungeons and Dragons campaign more than a decade ago. Since then we have developed into a fantasy world with as much compelling and engrossing detail as you will find anywhere.
Our current showcase is a Neverwinter Nights version of Layonara, where our world comes to life in a finely polished persistent world which you can play free of charge. These forums are set up to support and accentuate our player's experiences, but it goes far beyond that.
After years of passionate effort, our world is so well developed, so detailed, so refined that any of the handbooks, maps, historical accounts, legends, descriptions of artifacts, creature reports, character biographies, short stories, novels, movies and original art which populate these forums can surely serve as resources or inspiration for your own fantasy endeavors, whatever they may be. And our world is endlessly evolving, so resources are frequently added and updated.
There are also years of sage advice and commentary on role-playing, gaming and online community development stored in these forums. If camaraderie is what you seek, we offer that too. Our community is as active and supportive as you're likely to find on the internet. In short, these forums are a resource for you to use for whatever purpose or project brought you here.
We're confident that you will find what you are looking for, and likely, substantially more.
Please be our guest and browse around the forums which are available to you. As you do, keep in mind that you are sampling only a portion of what Layonara has to offer.

Hrmmmmmmmm... NWN fave? I crave creative ways and bending of the laws of the universe so I spose most of mine would be RP only spells. Wish they had things like Wall of Iron, stone, etc.. though I enjoy everything lightening.
PnP.. Anything illusion based.. or anything that can be played with to get interesting results. Damage spells can have creative uses as well. |  |   | |

| Re: What's your favorite spell?
I have a small list of favorite spells. They are, in no particular order...
Slay Living. Nothing is cooler than coming out of your invis above a giant enemy that failed it's touch attack and save.
Destruction - Same as above, but cooler looking. Plus, the sound is totally worth it.
War Cry - Not enough people use this, with all the Bards we have, it's a very useful spell.
Invisibility - Everyone likes this.
Dominate Monster - A battle can easily be turned around with one casting of this, espically because most npc casters are barely able to save against it if you're a powerful enough Enchanter. It was cooler back in Beta 4 when it lasted for 23 minutes at level 20, which was enough time to get the Greypeak Giant King into Fisterion's lair for another casting, then watching the second hardest boss get whiped out by the hardest.
Summon Creature 9 - A'duh. It's great for any faith.
Summon Creature 3 for Branderback - Great DR, Concealment, and HiPS. Fun spell for a Halfling to use.
Negative Energy Ray, Blast - Great for healing my summons at a distance.
Harm - Great assassination spell. Harm combined with Destruction is a basic insta-death for anything, anywhere, ever, that isn't a DM, Undead, or Fisterion.
That's about it.

From 2nd Edition PnP I have a couple of favourites:
Enlarge: The best first level buffing spell, and it was reversible.
For Rp'ing it had to be Suggestion. I would take my tiefling enchantress with 17 chr in to a room with someone who wanted to kill me for two minutes, and they would walk out having told us everything and ready to kill his boss. | | | | |

As far as a lower level spell... Combust, its kinda funny to watch an ogre or giant become a huge torch. But the bodies smell bad when they keep burning.

Offensive: Hammer of the Gods (good for combat), Greater Ruin (Don't get caught in the blast!)
Defensive: Any and all healing spells (HP restoration in particular), Haste (Super fast when Monk Speed is at its highest), Undeath to Death (and other buffs).

Greater Ruin is actually a single-target Epic Spell, maybe you wanted to say Hellball. :P

Greater Ruin has a blast radius, almost as deadly as Hellball.

| Yeah, Combust is one of the best spells out there, relative to level. Combine an empowered combust with a target with low reflex and you'll see what I mean. | | | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
