Help me making a list of must-have spells for planar travelers.

[Shin Okada]

As a DM, I am planning to make a Runestaff which enables PCs to travel easily amongst planes. So I want to list-up Sor/Wiz spells useful for planar travelers. I may or may not include all of those spells. But anyway I first want to check which spells are particularly useful for planar travelers.

Would you please suggest me if there are spells I have overlooked?

From PHB

Gate (L9)
Greater Teleport (L7)
Plane Shift (L7)
Teleport (L5)
Dismissal (L5)
Fly (L3)

From Spell Compendium

Planar Perinarch (L9)
Greater Plane Shift (L8)
Planar Bubble (L7)
Planar Tolerance (L5)
Perinarch (L4)
Analyze Portal (L3)
Avoid Planar Effects (L3)
Resist Planar Alignment (L1)

Definitely

Attune Form [SC]
Portal Alarm [SC]

Maybe

Freedom of Movement
Leomund's Secure Shelter or Hidden Lodge [SC]

Honorable Mention

Scramble Portal [SC]

We actually used that once to get to a random location instead of the original destination of a portal, in order to escape from a planar place.

Bye

Thank you for suggesting. Somehow I overlooked Attune Form spell.

And Tongues. That is right. Auto-interpreter is a must have for a traveler.
