Nice! I usually do this as well--figure out what kind of Wizard would have had the spellbook in question (or just did, until he was killed by the PCs)and then include a thematically-appropriate selection of spells.
ReplyDeleteI found this table to be more interesting if I do two d100 rolls, and combine them. E.g.:
ReplyDelete73: speed
76: weapons
73+76: Weapons of Speed (or Speed as a Weapon)
34: shapeshifting
41: universal
34+41: How To Blend In Everywhere
43: stasis
25: sight
43+25: Ways of Tracking (or How To Only Have Eyes For One Person)
90: knowledge
11: necromancy
90+11: How I Preserved Your Mother
Good work!
My old wizard used to love collecting spell books, especially of major villains we defeated. This would make them even more interesting.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very cool list. Thanks for sharing!
