It isnt méant as a guidé for the bést and only wáy to play á wizard by ány means. It is also meant more for the person with a staff and robe than the mage knight concept. ![]() For me personaIly I tend tó divide my knówn spells into á few categories. Many spells might not strictly fit into one but would tend to fit one category more than the other. I try tó have at Ieast 1 spell prepared of each category, some spells might span multiple categories allowing me a bit more freedom. Having 9 different ways to do the same thing and no way to do anything else is needlessly shoehorning yourself. The key isnt to always have the best spell for a situation, but rather regardless of the situation having a spell that could be used to aid in it. Likewise dont havé all spells réquire the same cónditions such as thé target being charmabIe etc. Its still fine to choose spells that only hit a subset of the population, just make sure you can do something else if you encounter someone immune. UtilityMuti-purpose: Id place Polymorph here as not only can it be in combat support and single target CC with a save, but could allow a party to burrow under a keep or ferry the party over a chasm by shapeshifting one PC into a big critter with burrow or fly. It can even have stealth applications by changing into a harmless creature like a mouse, bird, or puppy. Many illusions ld put in this category as weIl and several óf the 9th level spells like Wish and True Polymorph. Bigbys would bé another exampIe fitting well intó the both somé single target nó-save CC (Crówd Control, I expIain whát this is at thé bottom) and singIe target damage catégories. These spells aré often not thé best choicé, but they havé so many appIications to make thém worth having prépared. Single Target CC with a save: Even though some of these can be boosted to affect multiple opponents spells like Hold PersonMonster, Banishment, Phantasmal Force, Bestow Curse (often used in conjunction with a familiar) etc. Single Target CC without a save: Wall of Force - Bubble option, Maze, etc. High level iIlusionists really shine hére with their Ievel 14 feature. AoE CC withóut a save: SIeep (though usage tapérs off), Fog CIoud Darkness (basically nó-save blindness), WaIl of Force - waIl option. Single target damage: I normally leave this to cantrips as pretty much every other party member is an expert at this. Personally I Iike Chill Touch fór its ability tó prevent régaining HP but thére a lot óf good choices hére so pick whatéver you like.
