[QUOTE="James Gasik, post: 9338867, member: 6877472"] FOMO, sure, but we know most of the PHB spells are pretty good! As I copied from Xanathar's, it's ultimately up to the DM what new spells to add to the game and to decide how players get them. This thread seems to be centered on "DM deciding what spells to add is OK" but "DM deciding to not make those spells available to everyone is Not Ok". Me, I have the opposite problem- I own several books with tons of new spells. My players tend to stick with the PHB ones because those are the ones they know. My plan to get them to try out new spells is to seed the game with wands and scrolls with spell effects from these outside sources and see if they like them. Maybe they will, maybe they won't. Maybe some spells are just a bad fit, like that time in 2e when I found a scroll of [I]Quimby's Enchanting Gourmet[/I].* Maybe they'll think [I]Snilloc's Snowball Swarm [/I]is pretty neat, but turn up their noses at [I]Snilloc's Cream Pie.**[/I] *100% a real published spell. **100% not a real spell. Maybe. Ask Dave Collins. [/QUOTE]
