🪄 Ranger Spells (Magic Guide)
Your Spellcasting Uses:
• Wisdom-based casting – This means spells that require saving throws or wisdom checks will use your
Wisdom modifier to determine their power.
• Limited but Powerful – Rangers don’t have tons of spell slots, so use spells wisely!
🌿 Useful Ranger Spells for Rex
🦉 Pass Without Trace (Essential!) – Gives you and allies +10 to stealth checks! Perfect for sneaking into
places unseen.
Hunter’s Mark – Mark an enemy and deal extra damage every time you hit them. Great for focusing
down dangerous foes.
🌲 Speak with Animals – Useful for scouting or avoiding trouble.
🔥 Darkness (If You Get It from Feats or Magic Items) – Since you’re invisible in darkvision, fighting
inside magical darkness makes you untouchable.

🏹 Weapons & Fighting Style
• Proficient with:
✅ Martial Weapons (Longswords, Rapiers, Greatswords, etc.)
✅ Simple Weapons (Shortswords, Bows, Daggers, etc.)
✅ Shields & Armor (Light, Medium, and Heavy)
• Best Combat Setup for Rex:
1. Dual Wielding (Two Shortswords or Rapiers) – If you go melee, two weapons let you attack twice per
turn without using your bonus action on spells.
2. Longbow – For a stealthy sniper build with high Dexterity, great for attacking from the shadows.
🔥 Summary: How to Play Rex Well
• Stealth first, strike hard. Use Dread Ambusher and darkness to get the upper hand.
• Use mobility to your advantage. Always reposition after attacking.
• Pick spells wisely. Spells like Hunter’s Mark, Pass Without Trace, and Darkvision are game-changers.
• Stay away from big melee enemies. You’re good in close-quarters but better at ranged skirmishing.

⚡ Best Spells for Mythallar
Defensive Spells (Keep Yourself Alive!)
🌀 Shield – +5 AC for a turn when attacked? Yes, please!
✨ Mage Armor – Since wizards don’t wear armor, this boosts AC.
🔥 Absorb Elements – If you get hit by fire, lightning, cold, etc., you can resist it and store energy for
your next attack.
💣 Offensive Spells (Evocation Power!)
🔥 Fireball – Classic explosion of death (and you won’t hit allies).
⚡ Lightning Bolt – A straight-line nuke that ignores cover.
☄️Magic Missile – Auto-hits enemies, perfect for taking out low-health targets.
🌀 Utility & Control Spells
🔍 Detect Magic – Essential for any wizard, lets you see magical auras.
⏳ Counterspell – Shut down enemy spellcasters!
🌪 Levitate – Float away from melee attackers (or lift enemies off the ground).
🦉 Fly – Make yourself or an ally completely mobile in battle.
How to Survive as a Wizard
1. Stay at a distance. Your 7-foot wizard is powerful, but not built for melee combat. Keep back and use
spells.
2. Use your allies as shields. Let your frontline fighters absorb damage while you rain destruction from
behind.
3. Always have defensive spells ready. Keep Shield, Absorb Elements, or Misty Step prepared to escape.
4. Plan your spell slots carefully. Wizards only get so many spells per day, so don’t waste big spells on
small fights.
🌀 Roleplaying Mythallar
• Wise and experienced – You’ve seen devils, liches, and magical catastrophes firsthand.
• Grumpy but caring – You might be annoyed by foolishness, but you still protect your allies.
• Seeks knowledge – Your hunger for lost magic and ancient secrets never fades.
• Haunted by past failures – Candlekeep and Myth Drannor were lost under your watch. You carry that
burden.
