You can sell them for some quick money, but you should probably spare a single raise dead and heal scroll. In the northern church in Hommlet on the second floor there is a bookcase which holds several high value scrolls and potions. You'll be surprised at how fast you can earn enough cash to allow you to craft or buy anything you like. Just burn up all excess xp while making random magic items and sell them for profit. I found staying at level 6 works very well. The downside is that if you wait too long, xp from encounters will drop hard due to level difference between your party members and the monsters. Later on you'll be selling items for 90%+ of the value while paying only 50%. Early on it's easy to get a little more than half the price of an item which will allow you to make a small profit. (the price listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide) Your actual sale price is modified by the appraise skill of the character who's talking to the vendor.

(Equip the best Headband of intellect you can make for maximum effect.)Ĭreating items cost a little xp and half the price of the item. Have one character max out the Appraise skill. Make sure all your characters have at least 1 level in a spellcasting class and at least 1 item creation feat. Sickened monsters can't make attacks, use items or potions or attack. You'll get a free attack when they get up from prone position.Īt higher levels Stinking Cloud is very effective.


My favorite tactic with Grease is to move a melee character next to a tripped enemy. Only Grease and Web affect undead though. Note that the first 4 are AoE spells so while some of the monsters might make their save, there's a good chance of taking out at least some. You'll be surprised how effective low level spells like Sleep, Grease, Web, Soundburst and Tasha'sHideous Laughter can be.
