Spell Use
When a ranger reaches 8th level, he can learn priest spells of the animal and
plant spheres. He acquires and employs spells the same way as a priest. Chapter
6 lists the spells available to a ranger. Chapter 9 explains the special
relationships between rangers and priests.
Table 5 shows the number of spells a ranger may have memorized at each level.
The "Casting Level" indicates the level at which spells are cast. For instance,
the 1st level invisibility to animals spell cast by a 12th-level ranger has duration of 1 turn + 5 rounds (the
spell lasts for 1 turn + 1 round/level, and the 12th-level ranger casts the spell
at 5th level). The 2nd level warp wood spell cast by a 16th-level ranger has a range of 90 yards (the range is 10
yards/level, and the 16th-level ranger casts the spell at 9th level).
Regardless of his actual character level, a ranger's spells are never cast
beyond 9th level.
The following restrictions also apply:
· Unlike priests, rangers don't get bonus spells for high Wisdom scores.
· Rangers may only use magical items specifically allowed to the warrior group.
In no case may a ranger use clerical scrolls.
