Moved to Brilliant Gameologists. Save Autum!

"Original Post" Show
I'm playing a Sorcerer in a campaign online, we just hit level 12, and I feel that my spell list is severely lacking on good disabling spells.

I've been searching around for quite some time in these boards for a good list of Sorc spells, but the lists I've found are quite outdated. Good for ideas, and a basic list, but I have the feeling the juiciest spells are being left out.

So, I'm asking if anyone knows of a good list of SobS spells. In case there isn't one already, any chance we can start a list one? I volunteer to maintain it, and can help with Druid SobS spells, given than Druids are the class I have the most experience playing with.

And, if starting a new list is too much trouble, then perhaps someone could throw a few spells I can check? My char is a Draconic Kobold (homeruled, no Con penalty, no light sensitivity, +2 Cha) Sorcerer/Dragonheart Mage//Dragon Shaman/Sorcerer. His effective sorcerer level is 12, and he has 29 Cha. I'm thinking about taking Spell Rehearsal as my level 12 feat to further increase the DCs.
The sourcebooks alllowed for spells are: Spell Compendium, Dragon Magic, Races of the Dragon, Complete Warrior, Divine, Arcane and Adventurer.

The only SobS spells I have so far are:
Level 1: Charm Person (W)
Level 2: Glitterdust (W)
Level 3: Unluck (W)
Level 4: Blinding Breath (R)
Level 5: Wrack (F), Dominate Person (W)
Level 6: Disintegrate (F)
F = Fort, R = Ref, W = Will

I'm looking for other spells, but I can't find much. Flesh to Stone is nice, but I took Disintegrate instead for utility. Prismatic Ray also has a couple of SoD effects, but it's too random.

So, any spells I should check out? Or perhaps we can start compiling a list for the base classes at least, expanding it to include more classes in the future?

I found this in Surreal's list. It could probably be expanded though.

Thanks, that's the kind of list I was looking for.

I don't like Phantasmal Killer. Having 2 saves really decreases its success rate. But you are right, it's a SoD, and should be considered.

Any other ideas?

If there's not a lot by the end of the day, I guess I'll start a new thread to try and compile said spells. Would be a nice resource for casters, IMO.

This has a very nice section on spells, including a lot of save or suck spells.

This also has nice spell lists, but it is pretty outdated.

Thanks, I'll take a look at them in a bit.

Also, I went and started to compile the list. So far, I wrote down the spells from PHB and Spell Compendium that I considered save-or-be-screwed.
I'm not sure on some of those, given that I haven't had the chance to test them all, so I'd appreciate feedback- Most likely, I skipped some good spells and added complete crap.

It would be great if you took out the show buttons, and just kept it hidden by level...too much clicking is a pain!
