Imoen as 13th level sorcerer Options

[Sikret]

Imoen will appear as a sorcerer in spellhold. Her base (minimum) level will be 13. If your protagonist is high level enough she will gain additional XP to level up after she joins you. The additional spells after the level up will be chosen by the player during the game. What we want to decide over now in this poll is to determine her base spells as a 13th level sorcerer.

I have chosen most of her spells (as a 13th level sorcerer) in an optimized way for your needs in IA (as probably I know the usefulness and power of each spell in IA better than most other players). However, I want your opinions about the few remaining spell slots. Her current list of spells are as follows:

First level spells:

- Magic Missile

- Shield

- Larloch's minor drain

- Identify

- Burning Hands

Second level spells:

- Mirro Image

- Melf's Acid Arrow

- Blur

- Resist Fear

- One last spell you need to vote for and choose

Third level spells:

- Vampiric Touch

- Flame Arrow

- Remove Magic

- Dispel Magic

Fourth level spells:

- Emotion

- Ray of Fragmentation

- Stoneskin

- One last spell you need to vote for and choose

Fifth level spells:

- Breach

- Oracle

- One last spell you need to vote for and choose

Sixth level spells:

- Protection from Magic Energy

- One last spell you need to vote for and choose

As I said, if your protagonist is high level, Imoen will gain additional XP once she joins the party and may immediately level up. Those additional spells (after the level up) will be chosen by the player. What we want to determine now are her remaining spells as a 13th level sorcerer.

Note 1: I don't guarantee that I will follow the result of the poll accurately (as I still know things about the mod that voters may not know), but I guarantee that I will consider the poll as one of my main criteria for making the final decision. In other words, I have reasons to prefer some of the options to others, but those reasons are not decisive (if they were decisive I wouldn't need to create a poll) and I will surely consider the poll and your comments before making the final decision about each spell level.

Note 2: The options in the poll are written in alphabetical order. So, the order doesn't show anything about my own preferences.

Arguments for each of the 6th level spells in the poll:

1- Argument for "Chain Lightning":
It's the best offensive 6th level spell. It can damage a group of enemies and can be cast from distance. Not many enemies are resistant to electricity.

2- Argument for "Improved Haste":
You can buff your fighters with this spell; it's good.

3- Argument for "Protection From Magical Weapons":
Stoneskin is good but it can't protect you against all sorts of attacks. Considering the perspective of the brave sorcerer who gets involved in close combat to bombard enemies (specially golems) with Vampiric Touch or hitting them with the Golem Slayer rod, having this trustworthy protective spell can be a big advantage. Though one may still argue that stoneskin combined with Mirror Image will do the job against most types of golems and the player can pick "Potection From Magical Weapon" as her next 6th level spell after the level up.
