A Valuable Expansion for all AD&D Campaigns,
By
This review is from: Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Tome of Magic, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)
This book offers both DMs and players a great opportunity to expand magic within their campaigns. In addition to giving a great array of new spells, the Tome of Magic includes several new wizard classes, all of which have become common in many AD&D campaigns. I especially liked the new wild mage class, which incorporates a moditied (and certainly fun-enhancing) spell casting system. The expansion of the priestly spheres of magic significantly enhanced the previously limited selection of priest spells. The only downside of this product is the selection of new magical items, many of which have not proven to be useful in my campaign. Overall, I have found the Tome of Magic to be one of the most useful accessories for the AD&D game.

5.0 out of 5 stars
An amazing wizard and preist expansion book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Tome of Magic, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)
The ammount of detail found in the book is astonishing. In addition to adding 5 new mage classess, it also gives the new wizard school of wild magic and 5 or six (can't remember exactly) new preist spheres. It also adds an 8'th level of clerical magic. Although the book is clerically oriented, I bought it for the new spells and mage expansion and was no where near disappointed. I am an avid gamer of Dungeons and Dragons, a player as well as a DM, and this is one of the best books TSR has ever produced. When I take in a new player to a questing group I tell them, first buy the players hand book, and then the tome of magic

You play AD&D, you NEED this book!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Tome of Magic, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)
If you play AD&D, and do not buy this book the second you see it, you are in a world of trouble friend. TSR almost REQUIRES use of this book in the newer campaign settings. And why not it is a very good book, with interesting new spells and spell schools. The only reason I gave this book such a low score it because first off, you really NEED this book to play AD&D well. Which brings the grand total of books you need to play AD&D with upto 4. (Players Handbook, Dungeon Masters Guide, Monster Mannual, and now this). Secondly the new and improved Players Handbook should have included this in it to cut costs.
