This is an item for discussion of Ad&D spells
whenever I make a new character i always take at least an hour deciding on
what spells to get what spells mage or priest or druid should you get and in
what order?

It depends on if we're talking about eclectic Mages, and Priests, or if we're
talking about specialist mages and clerics.
Personally, I take mostly damaging and protective spells. Seldom "finding"
spells.

Depends on the kind of character U are playing. Pschopathic Invokers can be
fun, but they get old fast. I've always wanted to play a nice fanatical priest,
but have never had the chance.

I like a good summoner...of course, battles tend to take a really long time
when you cast a couple of Monster Summoning I spells to assist you when
facing a massive foe or twelve.

I'm making rules for using Kir Monks (from Death Gate) as AD&D Clerics.
It'll take a couple weeks.

Re #5: You're refering to the Kenkari elves, I presume?

I've always liked spells of protection (walls) and the occasional
fireballs and lightning bolts. It's not as subtle when you're
fighting a dragon.

Kenkari elves, I would handle merely as any other elf.
Death Gate wizards of races other than Patryn or Sartan... well, that's
another matter entirely.

Shoot cloth-wrapped arrows through a Wall of Fire...instant flaming arrows!
Of course, there is the visibility factor...I'm still working on that. A
Mass Clairvoyance spell would work...but AD&D doesn't have one...yet.

Here's one for calming that one extremely arrogant fighter:
Stilgar's Instant Ego Deflation (or, "Ooo, that looked *painful*!")
level ? casting time ? components V,S
range ? Effect Area: single target
If save successful, target loses 1/2 current hp, all physical stats halved
for 1 day, and stunned 1D10 rounds. Save failed: hp reduced to 1, (0 if
"Death's Door rule used) all physical stats 1, stunned for 1D8 hours.
Visual effects determined by caster.

Nice. Polymorphing would also work.

Yeah...Wand of Polymorph them...."She turned me into a newt! A newt? I got
better..." Turn them all into newts or toads or mice or something with a Wand
of Polymorph. This works especially well if they are flying.

If they're flying, something heavier than a newt would be good. SHouldn't
"ego deflation" have something to do with morale? Nice to see somebody
here has good taste in movies, jamie.

Newts splat perfectly well when they hit the ground....it doesn't matter
that they don't weigh much...they don't have very splat-resistant bones,
either. This plan worked exceptionally well....until my brother, a very
inexperienced DM, realized that he should be giving these polymorph targets
saving throws....

...little did he know that d'oh was actually the command word for his
magical newt disenhugulator, so the newts went splat anyway
