They're useful for when you come across an empty room. If it has a door you can use the spikes to fortify it to make it more difficult to open.When you rest in a dungeon, always have somebody stand watch. Always lock and fortify the door in an empty room.When in a dungeon or on a long outdoor trek make sure your caster knows Create Food and Water type spells.You can never have too many potions of healing.Sometimes you can leave treasure behind when you're overburdened. Even more so if you need water while in a desert or other similar survival situations.Bags of holding and Portable Holes and other similar magic is a great option to replace backpacks and rucksacks so you can travel more lightly.Carry a Mirror Of Opposition with you. It can be used on the boss creature. Use a shrink spell to carry it with you easily.Two of my favorite feats: Silent Spell and Still Spell. Useful for casting when tied or bound up.You can never have too much healing items or magic.Never forget a grappling hook.You can never summon too many monsters to help you fight a large group.Always keep monsters off of your casters.You can never have too many hit points.You can never have too high of an AC.Even fighters can benefit from items like Amulets of Natural Armor if you don't want them to wear such heavy armor. Useful for situations when a check is needed, such as swimming underwater.Lots of scrolls of Mending or even wands are very useful for when an item is sundered.Don't ever call somebody surely.Always ID a magic  item before using it. It could be cursed.Always try to find a creative use for your abilities. Don't steal from party members.There is no I in team.Don't split off from your party. Always carry something that has fire or acid with you. The fire is for both trolls and many undead take double damage from fire, while the acid is also for trolls.Always carry a mirror with you for petrification attacks.Don't ignore mundane items such as nets and Tanglefoot Bags unless the NPC is too high of a level.Sleep and web spells are highly useful for low and mid level parties.Gems have no encumbrance so carry those in lieu of coins. They're often also more valuable than coins.Copper coins make good sling ammunition.Take your time to look for traps when you can.Always work to increase for your most favored attribute for your class.Always map out your dungeon so you don't get lost. Make sure to mark very important places.Do not mistreat your henchmen and hirelings. You never know who or what they know. Even small gifts will show your appreciation.Wands are good for when you don't want to cast a spell. A wand often has far more charges than your caster is able to cast his own spells. Think thirty charges versus 4 spells per day.Always carry silver weapons for lycanthropes.Use a crystal ball or other scrying magic to scout ahead.</blockquote>
