I'm building a gambler-themed Spellscale Sorcerer, and I was wondering if anyone knew of any good luck-themed spells. I know there's things like Unluck and the various Prismatic/Rainbow spells (the ones with random effects), but what else is there that I might have missed?

Wand of wonder would be good, but I don't think you can get that as a spell. Maybe your DM could houserule it in? – Dakeyras Mar 18 at 17:04

@Dakeyras What book is the Wand of Wonder from? It's not in the Magic Item compendium. – Cobalt Mar 19 at 17:12
@Cobalt I think it might be from older editions, basically it has completely random effects and isn't very powerful, but very fun :) – Dakeyras Mar 19 at 19:02
@Cobalt I believe it was made a rod in 3.5. – GMJoe Mar 20 at 3:37

I’m away from my books and too busy to go digging besides, but there is cheat in Spell Compendium that lets you, well, cheat at games of chance (dice, roulette, and so on). I think it’s just a reroll though.

Psionics has many powers which offer insight bonuses and allows rerolls (Fate of One in particular) in the Clairsentience discipline. Might be worth considering playing a Seer (Psion specializing in Clairsentience).

I just said this was looking for spells for a spellscale sorcerer. – Cobalt Mar 18 at 20:22
@Cobalt No, you said you were looking for luck-based spells. You also said you were making a sorcerer, but that's neither here nor there as far as the question goes: you weren't ruling out the possibility of other classes, multiclassing, etc. I've edited your question to make the restriction clearer. – Jonathan Hobbs Mar 18 at 21:24

@JonathanHobbs I don't think it was unclear unless one read only the title. If people aren't going to read the actual question, that's their own mistake. We don't want to encourage people to just answer the title, in any case. – SevenSidedDie Mar 19 at 2:49
@SevenSidedDie It wasn't clear to me either, and I read the whole thing. It's simple: he wanted spells - psionics have spells too. Saying he's building a sorcerer is neither here nor there as far as his stated question goes; it doesn't imply a limitation to sorcerer spells. I thought: Maybe he's interested in spells in general, and would be willing to be a druid or psionic if they had great spells available. Many people asking for build advice are receptive to alternate approaches. Explicitly stating "Spells for class/build X only, please" is important when you want that limitation in place. – Jonathan Hobbs Mar 19 at 5:17
Besides, I said "luck-based SPELLS". Technically, psionic powers aren't spells. – Cobalt Mar 21 at 22:16
