[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 6658844, member: 82106"] Invisibility is still awesome and you would definitely want to cast it on an infiltrating rogue. It lets them hide in any unexpected place, approach from directions that are considered safe, and cannot help but make it harder to be spotted and very definitely makes it hard to be targeted. This is how it was interpreted in our AD&D games to start with, and we've always used it pretty often to decent effect. Charm Person, this can be a quite amazingly useful spell, Sleep (when employed to say knock out a sentry, its not so good in actual combat), etc. I'm barely getting started, Alter Self has gotten me a LOT of mileage. I haven't really used Levitate, but if you need to get someone up to a spot where there's no real way to climb, its gold. I got the spider staff from Phandelver, so I have thoroughly explored Spider Climb (I can cast it at least 4x per day every day) and its a pretty good spell too. I agree, none of these spells are ridiculously powerful, but they constantly form the basis of our reckoning of how the party will overcome serious obstacles.
