D&D 5E Random Spellbook Generator

[lobo316]

Greetings All,

Does anyone know of a decent random spell book or scroll generator? I'm running the PCs against a number of wizards and I'd like to drop a few spell books here and there, but I'd like for 'em to be a bit random in content (and I hate having to create spell books, heh, heh).

Also, same question with regards to a random scroll generator (as opposed to "level x scroll). I'd like an generator that actually gives me a scroll (not a scroll level).

Thanks!!!

I can generate you some plausible lists. How many do you need? What level of wizard do you want the spell books for? And what schools are they?

Here's a spell book for a random 5th-level Conjurer, for example.

1. Absorb Elements, Catapult, Charm Person, Disguise Self, Fog Cloud, Ice Knife, Identify, Magic Missile
2. Flaming Sphere, Locate Object, Magic Mouth, Web
3. Nondetection, Sleet Storm

Or a 4th-level Necromancer

1. Alarm, Catapult, Chromatic Orb, False Life, Ice Knife, Protection from Evil and Good, Ray of Sickness, Silent Image, Thunderwave, Witch Bolt
2. Gentle Repose, Ray of Enfeeblement

I don't actually detail an NPC's spellbook. When a PC loots one of them, I allow a wizard PC to copy something like 0-3 unknown wizard spells that both the PC and the NPC are able to cast.

Well heck, I don't want to put you through the effort, lol. I could that, heh, heh. But, if you want, I'll use whatever you post. I can already use that Necromancer one for example. That's perfect and it's "neutral" (so to speak). You don't know my players or campaign, so whatever you put together will feel more "organic".

Generate one for a 9th level necromancer please

Thanks!!

I'd still like to find a site for randomly generating spell books and scrolls, but having someone else, who is truly a "neutral" party is kinda neat. Appreciate it!!!

I like that idea was well. That works really well for "simplicity sake".

I've used this list of 'standard' spellbooks I borrowed from City-of-Iron in the past, whether to speed up the creation of a level 1 wizard, or as possible loot in adventures (found in bookcases, etc). They seem pretty balanced, and I liked the idea of widely used texts within the magic community, reflecting the various philosophies of magic.

This is quite handy.
I also use http://colinmarc.com/dndspells/ but the random generation of your link to actually create a quick book.
