MollyWorld's Cleric Spellbook for AD&D |
|
Having nearly always played a Cleric, I used to spend way too much game time looking up various spells - especially when none of my most used spells fit the situation at hand. Too often, upon finding a spell who's title sounds good, I would find that it was of a sphere I could not even cast! [One of the rules I was unaware of for a long time is the restriction on what spheres are available to the various types of priest a character can be. The 2nd edition AD&D Player Handbook specifically states (p.48, black cover edition): "A cleric has major access to every sphere except the plant, animal, weather, and elemental spheres (he has minor access to the elemental sphere and cannot cast spells of the other three spheres)." (For an explanation of Spheres and major/minor access, please see your friendly PH!)]
So, not only would I have to use up valuable game time to look up restrictions, materials, etc, on unfamiliar spells, but if the spell I' find is unavailable to my character, I'd be left to find yet another spell to cast and then look that one up, or figure out what to do instead. (Ugh!)
So, I have created a small seven page spellbook that contains all of the spells that are available to the Cleric Character including all pertinent information for most of them. This way, I only have to thumb through seven sheets of paper, instead of 48, and I don't have to read several paragraphs to find the info I need. I hope you find the Cleric Spellbook as useful in your adventures as I do in mine.

Half, etc.), and the materials needed (if any) for casting the spell, along with a brief description of the spell, including any hit point, armor class, etc effects.
