Also you can throw up a Wall of Force and Wind Walk out of really bad situations. As a DM I had to put limitations on this spell (wind doesn't mean you're not easy to spot) otherwise it has the potential to get out of control.Revivify - If less than two people (redundancy) have a resurrect spell in your group, you're probably going to want this. You can replace it later with raise dead etc. You actually don't even need to prepare it - prepare gentle repose instead - then cast revivify the next day.Dispel Evil and Good - Get rid of fear, charms, possessions, etc. It will sit on your prepared list for a while not in use, but the one time you need it - it will save the group.Freedom of Movement - If you're ever grappled by something - you will want this.A couple of things to note when considering spells to pick:Weight up concentration combat spells, because you will find that is a bottle neck. Consider which ones you're going to be casting in combat mostly.Weigh up 1st level spells against popping Shield. You get 4 first level slots - consider how many of those you want to dedicate to shield. 1st level spells that can be cast at a higher level can be more useful in this regard as well.</blockquote>
