5.0 out of 5 stars
Unique in the good way, January 8, 2000
This review is from: Player's Option: Spells & Magic (AD&D Fantasy Roleplaying) (Paperback)
Unlike "Skills and Powers" and "Combat and Tactics", "Spells and Magic" does not introduce a wholly new set of rules that the other two books in the series are infamous for. "Spells and Magic" so rarely deviates from the original rules and presents so much expanded materials ( rather than totally new), you will soon be immersed into the originality of the effort. While this is basically a second take on The Complete Wizard's Handbook, it accomplished its goals so much better and quicker that it has plenty of leftover space to introduce several new subdivisions of the magic-user class and many other useful innovations. My advise as for Spells and Magic? Opt for this rules expansion - steer clear of its comrades.

A great book. A good accessory to any AD&D campaign., June 28, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Player's Option: Spells & Magic (AD&D Fantasy Roleplaying) (Paperback)
This books is good accessory to any AD&D campaign. This books clearly defines outlines magic and it's role in a campaign, including scarity, mystery, cost, and world view. Also included is many new schools of magic, new classes (monk, crusader, and shaman), and redefines bardic magic. In addition there are new non-weapon profiencies for wizard and priests and heaps of information regarding spell research and magic item creation. A complete list of spell components are included as well, as long with cost and rarity. Lastly, the book have information on alternate rules such as spell point, critical strikes, and custom character creation. The only reason I didn't rate this book higher is that some of this information is tedious and isn't all that useful in my campaign. It still is great accessory to any AD&D campaign. The new rules and spells should be enough for most players!

Very good book for all types of Spellcasters, October 6, 1999
This review is from: Player's Option: Spells & Magic (AD&D Fantasy Roleplaying) (Paperback)
This book is a great source of information for any type AD&D game, this book includes detailed info about all types of Spellcasters and includes too the system of Character Point's already seen in the Player Option's:Skills&Powers but expanded and woth more option's this time for all Spellcaster. There is a system that you can create your own spellcaster type and almost create a new class, by choosing it advantages, disadvantages special powers and special traits. The books also include a system and a table of critical hit caused by magic. The book is very interisting and very good it worth the price you pay. Get it if you can.
