A big explicit rules use of wands and staves was extending your reach in combat beyond your fingertip in their highly granulated three foot grid combat.Did you house rule staves to be reach weapons?Rolling anything but Sleep, MM, or Charm Person as your starting offensive spells is a decently big incentive to go with darts and daggers and save your spells for defense or utility. It doesn't hurt that MUs are most competitive on THAC0 at level 1 (equal to everybody but the fighter).1e DMG page 39:Returning to the recently-completed apprenticeship, let us now consider thespells given to Redouleent by his wise old master.

If your campaign is particularly difficult, you may wish toallow choice automatically. You can furthermore allow an extra defensive ormiscellaneous spell, so that the character begins with 5 spells.</blockquote>
