-When creating a new character, magic-users and illusionists should only roll on and/or select from the spells in the PHB. On level-up, spells from UA can be selected.((The UA spells are often situational. It's best to provide a standard repertoire for 1st level.))

The classic example is //bless//, //chant//, and //prayer//, however there is an exception on DMG 42 where a //chant// can stack with //prayer// if the casters are clerics of the same deity.

 ===== Invisibility ===== ===== Invisibility =====
  
-When under the effect of //invisibility//, if an action is taken that can possibly be interpreted by the DM as an attack, it counts as an attack for ending the spell. Examples include breaking open a barrel or throwing a rock. Note that the rules specifically say that [[exploration|opening doors]] does not break //invisibility//.+See [[Invisibility]]. 
 +===== Illusion =====
  
-Invisibility caused by a magic device cannot be triggered again until one full round after invisibility is broken. Put another way, if someone attacks while under the effect of a //ring of invisibility//, their opponents will end up getting a combat round where the wearer is visible before the wearer can use the ring again.((DMG 59-60.)) This does not apply to [[psionics|psionic invisibility]]. +See [[Illusion]].

-Any time someone goes invisible in view of enemies, enemies can still target them, but with the regular -4 to hit.((DMG 59-60.)) This does not apply to [[psionics|psionic invisibility]]. +

As another benefit, damage absorption won't need to be tracked for a ton of combatants. Remember that if you make this special armor available to purchase, then Men and NPCs will have it too, and you will need to track their damage reduction.))
