[QUOTE="FalcWP, post: 3377927, member: 16858"] I did both of these for my last wizard. I actually went through and wrote the details of all my spells in a small journal, and the details of every scroll on an index card. It worked *extremely* well - it gave me a nice refresher on what each of my spells did, and it meant I had all my spells handy without having to flip through the PHB or Spell Compendium to find details on them. When I used a scroll, I would just get rid of the index card. First time I used something like that in a game, and both I and the other players were impressed by how well it worked. Only sad part was that the game ended fairly quickly, but, next time I play a wizard, I'm doing that again. As for other props... not at the moment, just because the only games I've DMed recently were online. However, I've managed to get some pieces toy jewelry from supermarket vending machines, and I have a couple Crown Royal bags around that I can fill up with a variety of coins. Planning to use those next time I run a real life game. I agree that using props all the time can be a bit much, but they are nice as a change of pace. [/QUOTE]
