Hey there! So you're playing a Ranger in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous and want to know which spells are worth your time? Awesome choice!

This guide breaks down the spells by level, so you can plan your progression and make sure you're picking up the most useful ones.

We'll go through the spells available, and for a few key ones, we'll dive a bit deeper into what they do and how they work. Let's get started!

Lead Blades (Transmutation)

This is a fantastic early-game buff. It makes your melee weapons hit harder by treating them as if they were one size larger. For example, a longsword normally does 1d8 damage, but with Lead Blades, it jumps up to 1d10. It lasts for 1 minute per level, which is pretty decent for a standard action spell.

Duration	1 minute / level
Saving Throw	N/A
Spell Resistance	N/A
Spell Descriptors	-
Casting Time	Standard Action
Your melee weapons do damage as though they were one size larger (so that a longsword would do 1d10 damage rather than 1d8).
