My thoughts were that the Cloying Gloom Blast has a limited range, is indiscriminate in who it affects, and can only be used three times per day.

Each casting of Touch of Blindness would last one round per caster level, meaning up to seven Touch Attacks can be made per use of the spell, and Spectral Hand has Medium range, so it would give him a much longer reach.

Knowing Spectral Hand would make it really nice to learn the Touch of Idiocy spell the next time he gains a Sorcerer level, too. There are a ton of creatures who would be completely incapacitated by taking even that much damage to their mental attributes, and it doesn't allow a saving throw. Just a thought.

EDIT: And DP just ruled that Spectral Hand would allow him to use his normal Touch Attack at range, too, which is really helpful. Spectral Hand also provides a +2 attack bonus to the Touch attempt.
The combo is nice, but for now I like Darkbolt better.

I would suggest getting Spectral Hand on his next level and maybe an Expanded Arcana on the one after that for some more option?
 
[X] Plan Introductions
-[X] Greet him politely in First Men fashion, introducing yourself as the Dragon King from the south, ally of the Old Gods, warrior against the coming cold, yada yada yada.
-[X] Introduce your companions in turn, finishing with Mors and explaining that he is here to speak with his daughter abd you accompanied him to meet the Magnar and his people.
-[X] See if he has questions and answer them truthfully without embellishments. You really don't need those.
-[X] Try to find out more about the Thenns, their situation and listen closely for any hint if Bloodravens meddling.
-[X] If he at any point starts threatening you, question your warrior credentials or is a dismissive asshole over the whole Southron thing, solve this in the way the locals prefer. Tell him to put his money where is mouth is.
 
@DragonParadox What was the price you set for the lesser PfE items which provided protection from mind control, but didn't provide the other benefits of the spell (+2 Resistance & Deflection vs Evil)?

Was it 50 IM?
 
Just woke up. It's great to see Mors so chill with sacrifice. :)

That said, maybe we should have brought Soft Strider with us.

I totally forgot we had these in the armory;
7 Valyrian Steel Daggers (+2)
2 Valyrian Steel Axes (+2)
2 Valyrian Steel Longswords (+2)
2 Valyrian Steel Greatswords (+2)
6 Reinforced Segmented Valyrian Steel Fullplate (+2)
6 Reinforced Segmented Valyrian Steel Fullplate (+2; Resist Fire 20 and SR 12)

We can dramatically decrease the amount of Valyrian Steel needed for tournament prizes by using some of this stuff instead.
