u spells can heal as many hit points in hours, as a party without a conscious cleric could heal in many days of rest . Party Makeup One strategy is to create a party of specialists who go up in levels with the fewest number of experience points . This party works so long as the warriors in the front rank never let the spellcasters in the rear rank get into melee . Specialist Party : Dwarven Fighter, Human Paladin, Elven Mage, and Half Elven Cleric Another strategy is to create a party of generalists who are multi-classed characters. This party should always have some character with the appropriate skill for a 31 situation . But, such a diverse party needs a much larger number of experience points to get to higher levels . Generalist Party: Dwarven Fighter/Thief, Half Elven Fighter/Cleric, Elven Fighter/Mage, Half Elven Cleric/Mage A further strategy is to have a mixed party with specialist warriors in the front rank and generalist spellcasters in the rear rank. This strategy makes sure that the fighters gain levels (and hit points) as quickly as possible, but that the spellcasters will have a wide variety of spells available . Mixed Party: Dwarven Fighter, Human Paladin, Half Elven Cleric/Mage, Human Cleric Mage Spells -n SPELLS ii Range : Duration : 0 party members Instantaneous flash or instant effect Close ad acent square Short single combat round Medium up to 2 squares away Medium effect lasts for some time Long as far as visible range Long effect lasts quite a while + Armor Permanent effect lasts for entire game Variable or Special see spell description i First Level Mage Spells - Range: 0 Duration : Special Area of Effect: One character ith this spell the mage can surround a character with a magical field that protects as scale mail (AC ) .

Initially, magic missiles do two to five points of damage, and for every two extra levels the spell does two to five more points . So, a first or second-level mage does two to five points of damage, but a third or fourth-level mage does four to ten, and so on . :® Shield Range: 0 Duration : Short to medium Area of Effect: Spellcaster This spell produces an invisible barrier in front of the mage that totally blocks magic missile attacks.

The amount of time it takes the spell to dissipate ranges from medium to long with the level of the caster . 4t Blur 33 - Second Level Mage Spells IC- Range: 0 Duration : Short Area of Effect: The caster The position of a wizard with an active blur spell shifts and wavers .
