[QUOTE="Ainulindalion, post: 6859254, member: 6801319"] The implication that there are only '1 or 2' spellbooks per season is simply wrong. Season 1: 6 spellbooks in DDEX modules. May or may not be any in Hoard or Rise. Season 2: 5 spellbooks in DDEX modules. 1 in Princes. Season 3: 3 spellbooks in DDEX modules. 2 in Abyss. Season 4: ? spellbooks in DDAL modules. 9 in Curse of Strahd. Sorry, it always annoys me when I see that, so I must correct it. And yes, many of the spells repeat over and over. But not all of them do - not counting the Curse of Strahd spellbooks, which I haven't yet sorted, there are 118 different wizard spells available via spellbooks. This does not take into account spells which might be accessed via spell scrolls. EDIT: The spellbooks in Curse of Strahd add an additional 22 different wizard spells available via spellbooks, bringing the total to 140. Further, there are 200 wizard spells listed in the PHB and an additional 30 in the EEPC. That means, in theory, your wizard could have 180 of 230 total spells (at level 20) even if every wizard he or she met had chosen the same spells at level up as he or she did. This will cost a small fortune in gold, though (assuming those 140 spells average to level 5, 35000gp to copy them all, not including school discounts). [/QUOTE]
