I like using random encounter generators like the excellent one here (http://www.monsteradvancer.com/). Unfortunately, I would also like to be able to randomly choose spells for the casters it generates via my own set of tables. Unfortunately, I also want to remove spells that no one in their right mind would pick, and add spells from sources that aren't core. (to my knowledge, there are no random encounter generators that randomise spells in the way I'd like)
I believe every caster has a unique personality that can generally be seen by the spells they use. I would rather pick exemplar spells than ones no one uses at all. I, however, don't want to pick spells myself, because I find spell selection to be the worst part of playing a caster (I am indecisive by nature, and trying to pick from such a giant archive as I have at my disposal leaves me feeling completely overwhelmed, and eats hours of my time. per caster)
So, I want to make a 3d8 (possibly larger for spell lists that end up giant) table of spells for each level of each class I have to pick spells for. Buffs, blastings, save-or-die spells, ALL OF IT IS COOL. Feel free to suggest metamagic'd spells as well. I want to base it on what casters pick in actual games.
So I'd like to hear from Bards, Clerics, Druids, Sorcerors, and Wizards. What do you dudes and dudettes use in general play?
