My friend in a current campagine is a ranger and he has just reached the level where you can cast a 1st level spell owwwwwwwwwww scary. But looking through the PHB and spell compendium and looking very blankly at each other we could not decide. He has till next week but he is very confused, and I have wondered about this for a long time. So my question is a20th level ranger with a 14 wisdom, letting him cast all spells, and he gets 3 of each level, what spells would you pick????

Rhino Rush is good, Hawkeye, Hunter's Mercy, Arrow Mind, and Camouflage. All in the SC.

Remember that since you're a ranger, you can try out different spells each day until you find one you like. It's not like you're a sorcerer or bard, who're stuck with their spells once they've picked them.

ahh spell compendium of course thank you, and this is true. Let me se the scene for what we think is going to happen next week. We have been paid to escort some potions across the land to a drop off point. But we are being followed and they will attack at day and night, so we prob wont be gettign a full nights rest, which means changing spells and getting new ones will be a problem. so we need some thing that is going to be useful right from the word go really. if that makes any sense what so ever.

You don't need a full night's rest, you just need an hour of prayer. It's not like you're going to have many spells (1-2 of them, depending. Possibly 3.) anyways, if you've just gotten to where you can cast a level 1 spell. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

My reccomendation is Pass Without Trace, if you can cast enough to cover the whole party.

Aside from that, the spells Raltar mentioned are all good. Curing spells can be useful, if you can't think of anything else. Blades of Fire (also SC) is pretty good for a two-weapon fighting ranger.
