101 Spells for the Common Man

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Why are there so many spells for flinging flame, but none for harvesting crops?

101 Spells for the Common Man brings arcane power back to the people.

Magic isn’t just for adventurers anymore. As the common folk go about their daily business, a select few augment their efforts using magic. No matter how rare magic is in your world, those working folk who possess the gift make good use of the following spells.

While these spells make life easier for the common man, a clever adventurer can find use for them as well. Rob a bank with silenced work, or create a distraction with awaken instruments. Jot down a confession with recorder’s quill or put a guard to sleep with bed-time story. Remove a watery obstacle with expeditious evaporation or track the passage of time with shadowdial. These spells bring life to your world while providing a fun, creative new toolkit for PCs.

Included in 101 Spells for the Common Man:

  • 101 Level 0, 1, and 2 Spells, categorized by class and likely profession.
  • The Arcane Worker, a new NPC class who mixes magic and raw skill to make his way in the world.
  • 8 magical NPCs to inhabit your world, including the arcane artist and town doctor.
  • Spells include abernathy's abacusillusion of quality, and moneylender's mark, perfect for the successful banker.
  • Boil watercreate ice, and fortify wine, an excellent pairing with chefs of all levels.
  • Create soillocate stock, and scarecrow, turning a single farmer into a one man operation.
  • Bed-time storyschedule, and track child for the parent with too much to manage.
  • Enhance voice, perfect pitch, and game field for entertainers and musicians.

I loved working on these spells. The main reason? I can't wait to use them in my own campaign. This is a book full of incredibly flavorful magics—not to mention some handy NPC stats and a fascinating NPC class. The spells can fit in any setting. High-magic setting like Eberron? These are the basic spells every skilled laborer learns or buys a wand for. Going for a lower-magic tone? Maybe they're the only spells a village wise woman knows. They can inspire characters, locations, and even encounters.

The best part, though, is their versatility. You're not just buying 101 spells and an NPC class—you're buying 101 Swiss army knives. Imagine the uses a character could find for spells like Boil Water, Scarecrow or Create Ice! These spells encourage the players to get weirder and more creative, which is the best kind of benefit you can get from a Pathfinder supplement. You should check it out.

I worked with Jeff Gomez, et al, on the “100 Spells for the Common Man” supplement, and I’m really excited about this product. There are some very talented and creative people involved in this, and I’m happy to have been offered the chance to collaborate with them. Don’t hesitate to check it out – it will definitely add a whole new level to your game!

A great book to use for adding many funny details to your setting... and some utility effects to your adventuring camp too. It was cool working on it!

We managed to get a lot of spells in here, with a surprising amount of utility for low-level characters and worldbuilding payload. It's definitely something I want to use as a GM and player alike.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
