[QUOTE="ThomasBJJ, post: 453580, member: 993"] Hey Anthony, what's up?! I, for one, have been trying to use a few different things in my game. Last session I ran, the party faced an unknown cloaked figure who turned out to be a druid (among other things, but I shouldnt post it here). When I was selecting spells for him I tried to grab a few from various books -since I have most of the popular D20 books, and all of the WOTC ones. I think it worked out pretty good, the players could not figure out what the spells were and really did not know what was coming next. Last week, one of the regular players began a new campaign so that we could alternate everyother week (since my time for campaign prep is extremely limited usually). I ended up as the 1st lvl Wizard. First thing I did was pour thru all my books and supplements for some new spells. Right now I'm using Forcewave from Magic of Faerun, Unhand from Book of Eldritch Might 2, and True Strike. I've got my eye on several spells from Relics & Rituals 1 & 2 also when he advances in level. My point being that I think variety is important. If every wizard casts Mage Armor & Magic Missile every battle, and Every Barbarian rages and power attacks every fight, the world gets a little predictible. I have more D20 books on my shelf than I could read in a year, so I may as well start using them. [/QUOTE]
