How do you pick spells to give players on scrolls, wands etc.? - eviltoast

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.

    Same question I had when it comes to “gifting” alchemical formulae to my alchemist at the table.

    I filtered the list of recipes by the level of the source, which is a NPC. Then I rolled 5 times for commons and once for an uncommon.

    That’s the formulas my alchemist was able to learn from.

    And as I know that the player of that alchemist is a tinker, they will find a use and or edge case for any of them. So nothing goes to waste.
