[QUOTE="Wolfwood2, post: 6717458, member: 39394"] A PC I play in a long-running but slow-moving game has just made 10th level. To give you an idea how slow-moving, this character started out in 3E, was translated to 4E, and was translated again to 5E. Slow-moving as it has been, the DM has been reasonably generous about letting me scribe new spells. Generous to the point where I have many more spells than I can actually prepare every day. So I thought it would be interesting to see what people think ought to fill his 15 spells slots (20 intelligence + 10 levels) on days where I don't know what he might encounter. What spells should he prepare when in the city? When on the road? In the wilderness/dungeon? Choose 15 spells from the list... and choose wisely!
