I'd be happy with that 8th level spell list.
I prefer putting the "greater" spells under the letter "g" as well.
Updating the Pearl the Moon Dragon Working Draft.
Oh, I added a couple of links to her Domain Spell Options because I was was fed up having to hunt through this thread to find it every time we updated her spell selection!
9th level -- time stop[D], mass heal, miracle, soul bind, storm of vengeance, true resurrection ??
Not a lot of choices for this many spell slots!
Well time stop is a definite yes and mass heal plus miracle are all-around useful but the remaining three are rather circumstantial.
A storm of vengeance can inconvenience Pearl or her allies as much as her foes and takes a while to kick in (many epic-level combats only last a few rounds). The spell disruption ability might prove to be more useful than the damage! Besides, she's got 2/day control weather on her SLA list if she just wanted to whip up some bad weather. Overall I'd rather swap it for a more direct offensive spell, such as energy drain or implosion, or just a second miracle. Of the two, implosion's more immediately nasty and is on her Domain Lists so I'd go for that one.
The soul bind I can see her using quite often - creatures of her rank often have to deal "permanently" with immortal entities.
A true resurrection is the only way for her to revive a fallen outsider ally so is tempting. The 10 minute casting time is the only real disadvantage, but I wonder how often she's going to need to true resurrect an ally TODAY rather than have the day's grace she'd need to reprepare her cleric spell selection? Also, she can resurrect people with miracle by duplicating regular resurrection - and come to think of it, she could presumably spend 5,000 XP requesting an "especially powerful" miracle to duplicate true resurrection too - one of the example possibilities is even "raising fallen allies to continue fighting". So maybe swap it for a second miracle?
So that presents three sets of alternatives:
#1: mass heal, miracle (×2), soul bind, time stopᴰ, storm of vengeance.
#2: mass heal, miracle (×2), soul bind, time stopᴰ, [energy drain OR implosion OR true resurrection].
#3 (): [energy drain OR implosion] mass heal, miracle, soul bind, time stopᴰ, true resurrection.
Do either of those appeal to you?
