Thanks for pointing me to Deviant-art, they at least have a search function Smile

Q92
Which spells are similar to magic missile and Scorching ray in that they produce multiple missiles in one turn? Preferably auto-hitting, or ranged touch.
Melf's Unicorn Arrow (PHB2), There is a area of effect magic missile variant whose name I cannot recall.
Chain Missile (Spell Compendium).
Ice Darts (Sp Comp or Frostburn, I forget)

There's also a Druid one that fires multiple thorns in a volley like Scorching Ray.  It originally appeared in Magic of Faerun, but I think was reprinted in Spell Compendium.  It might not have been a touch attack, though.

18-20 x3.

And thanks to Complete Arcane, you can take Improved Critical (Ranged Spells) to double that. 4d6 at 15-20/x3 is pretty darn good for a level 2 spell.

Q95  I just wanted to make sure that I read this correctly, just to make sure that I'm not going to get books chucked at me in vain.  Playing an SCM could one cast the corrupt spell "Apocalypse from the Sky" Without taking the prerequisite ability damage?

Corruption Cost: 3d6 points of Constitution damage and 4d6 points of Wisdom drain. Just preparing this spell deals 1d3 points of Wisdom damage, with another 1d3 points of Wisdom damage for each day it remains among the caster’s prepared spells.

Name   Apocalypse from the Sky
School   Conjuration (Creation) [Evil]

Short Description   

All in a 10-mile radius/level take 10d6 damage.
Medium Description   

All in a 10-mile radius/level take 10d6 fire, acid, or sonic damage.

Q 96 I was going through some old character sheets of mine from back in the day, and came across an old 3.0 character I'd made, and the ring he had was a Ring of Escape. Anyone know where I could get info on what that ring did, or what book it was from?

Wouldn't it be easier to get immunity to damage/drain? Plenty of ways out there.

True, but I'm playing an SCM, thus it was my first thought.

A98: Bag of Holding, Portable Hole, if the zombie is small enough, Handy Haversack.

Really, there are a tone of options.  You don't have to worry about the zombies breathing, so any extradimensional space that can hold that amount of mass is good to go.

Q99: I thought there was a 3rd tier sphere of invulnerability that included 5,6,7th (8th?) level spells. I can't seem to locate it. Does anyone know what I was thinking of?

You thinking of Otiluke's Resilient Sphere from Complete Mage?  Basically like an AMF tuned to 1 specific school of magic per casting.

Otiluke's Resiliant Sphere is from the PHB and does the sphere of force around the target.  Otiluke's Suppressing field is what I think you mean, and forces a caster level check for any spell of the selected school, subschool, or descriptor to work. in the area.
