D&D 5E (2014) Additional spell resources?

[Gorg]

I own the 5e PHB, Xanathars, and Tashas. Are there any others that might contain expanded spell lists?

My cleric just made 7th level, giving him access to 4th level spells. Upon closer inspection, I noticed the available list of 4th level cleric spells is tiny! like 7 or8 spells tiny, and of those, very few seem especially useful currently. Neither Tashas nor Xanathars has ANY. Some of them seem to have been gutted, like Stone Shape.

I ended up settling on Death Ward (pretty underwhelming for a 4th level, imo), and Guardian of Faith. He is a Twilight cleric, so his domain spells aren't bad: greater invisibility, and Aura of (something or other- - I don't have my sheet handy. It is a paladin spell) I like to set up a default list for my clerics- spells that would be useful more often than not. I can then always redo it if something comes up.

Banishment looked alright- we have yet to meet anything extraplanar, though.

just a thought- I also own the 3.5e Spell Compendium, so conversion is also on the table. i like the flavor of finding - or being granted- "lost" or "forgotten" spells from ancient eras.

honestly, banishment is useful even if the target isn't extraplanar. removing an enemy from a combat for up to a minute is huge, especially if it's a decently leveled caster or other heavy hitter.

D&D Beyond, Reddit, D&D wiki, GM Binder, and The Homebrewery are full of spells. DM Guild has plenty for sale.

If you are playing 5E rules Greater Invisibility + Spiritual Weapon is pretty awesome. Death Ward is also an awesome spell.

There’s a ton of 3rd party books of spells from a variety of companies.

Some of the ones I own are

Tome of Heroes (lots of player options, including spells, by Kobold Press)
Deep Magic (several volumes, unusual spells and new casting classes/subclasses, another Kobold Press book)
The (In)Complete Tome of Spells (converted spells from the 3E spell compendium, on GMs Binder)

There are also a lot of homebrew content on the websites of GMs Binder, Homebrewery and DMs Guild.

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of putting an enemy BBEG in "Time out" until we deal with the minions, lol.

Go sit in the corner!! We'll deal with you in a minute!

The wizard actually took it as one of his 2 "free" spells. (for levelling up) He is, after all, an Abjurer.

I LIKE that idea!! He already uses Spiritual weapon frequently. Having it seemingly come out of nowhere? Priceless!

WTF??? I was just minding my business- and all of a sudden this glowing warhammer appears, and starts beating me like a redheaded stepchild...

SW is perfect for those geeks that insist on hiding behind half walls. Oh really?
