How do you pick spells to give players on scrolls, wands etc.? (aussie.zone)

Once you’ve decided "I want to give them a scroll now" or "I think it’s time they deserve to get a spell staff", how do you go about choosing which spells those are?

I assume different people have different ideas here, there isn’t one right answer. This is meant to be an open-ended discussion prompt.

I deleted my comment because I came from the TTRPG network homepage and didn't realise I was responding to pathfinder. I gave quite a few D&D 5e specific examples and was a little worried people wouldn't be happy about it.

Oh I see!

To be fair, my answer there was also back when we were playing 5e. But I felt ok sharing it here because the general story was system agnostic, dealing with how puzzles with a reward are cooler than puzzles that block story progress, and reinforcing the cool idea you brought up about using custom homebrew spells as reward items.

I hope we're more chill here about the, uh, familial relationship between games than they are on Reddit.

...likewise!..
