Thanks, Rhuvein. I've tinkered with the starting page, and I've also started a project page on Blacktooth Ridge, which I talk further about over in the Adventure forum.

Merge the cleric spell list, including healing spells, with the wizard spell list. That gives wizards some more diversity - you could have wizards that specialise in healing spells, those that specialise in zapping spells and so forth.
