For ghosts, take a gander at the Van Richten's guides. The players have to think and research. For fire elementals, the PCs can just throw water at it.

Read up on the Tales of Wyre. Grazzt gets summoned there, and the Epic spell to do it is detailed.

Mories crafted himself a crystal hypnosis ball. This has come into the hands of the three kids. This is the source of the nightmares. The kids aren't themselves powerful enough to become liches themselves but an elderly relative is, so the plan is to forcibly transform that relative into a lich...

Judging by what you've done here you are going to do well in your studies.

This is not actually a problem: the conflict between Law and Chaos in D&D is as important as the conflict between Good and Evil. I recall an adventure in an early issue of Dungeon (Iron Orb?) that touches on this and you can also see it in the Knight Protectors of the Great Kingdom, where...

All the above can be any alignment. The subordinates of the ruler would tend to be lawful, however. Lawful. Any. Lawful, almost by definition. Any.

Everyone else in the film? Because they all out-acted him.

This is far too powerful, even if restricted to the mental stats. Rather than substituting a stat, how about substituting Proficiency Bonus? I've done this with my revised Fighter class. This actually works out better in the long run, granting +6 instead of +5 but is more moderate at low levels...

And the fighter doesn't get it until very late in Tier 2 to boot. And only 1 / short rest, not the 1 / round the Warlord has.

I disagree. Either you get two attacks or you get one attack and give another character of your choice - who may be a far more important combatant than you - a bonus. Compare it with a spellcaster casting a buffing spell. And it operates at 30' whereas the paladin doesn't get to affect stuff 30'...

I'm surprised this got no feedback. It's excellent. His crossbow would have been a gastraphetes. How the blazes did I miss this? I may be some time...

Yes, you could give it to him twice, with the second one being for the Bard class, with Vicious Mockery (a stinging rebuke), Blade Ward (divine protection), and Heroism (divine courage).

The most minor of nit-picks: the longsword is not really period-accurate; it should be a purely one-handed sword. While longswords did exist at the time, they didn't really come in until the adoption of plate armour. Of course, you could say that he is so large that other people can fit two...

I don't like this: it's strictly better than the Extra Attack of all other classes. Either you help or you attack. Having the option should wait until 11th level, when the Fighter gets her third attack, the Paladin her damage boost, and so on.

This is what's known as a plot hook.

Watch the duel between Achilles and Hector in Troy: both start with spears and shields and both clearly have the PAM feat, striking with their spear butts.

Just give the spear reach when held two-handed. Or this.

Might be best to put that stuff in spoilers.

I think it depends upon what sort of campaign you want to run. A group of paladins could be aspirant Knights of the Round Table, for instance. A group of fighters or barbarians could be a warband.

Ah, someone had read the adventure from Dungeon with the house hunters. :)
