The party ran into 4 bears. The cleric casts Speak With Animals. Does it work, or do the bears get a saving throw? I think it works because it is a spell cast on self, not others.
Thoughts?

I think it works, no save.

Yeah, not an attack spell. It doesn't guarantee a positive reaction, just gives the cleric the option to befriend or negotiate with the bears as if they were people.

I would find a way to use the Encounter Reactions table from the DMG, p. 63, if that wouldn't be deemed cheating by looking outside of OD&D. As a side note, why oh why is there no spell for Speak with Pudding?

It's pretty much the same as the reaction table in Men & Magic, except that it's percentile instead of 2d6 and has two unnecessary additional reactions that are basically "Reply Hazy, Ask Again Later". So, not cheating, but kind of unnecessary. =)
