T. Foster said:Depends on what version you're talking about.
Well yeah, of course that's always the answer ("do what you think is best for your game"), but since 1) he was asking, 2) 3 of the 4 versions actually have an answer in the rules, and 3) that answer is different for each of those versions, I thought it worth mentioning...BPIJonathan said:You could do it by version, but I generally just did it on what I felt was correct. I figured that everyone would be taught read magic and detect magic, and the other spells were random depending on what scrolls were available when they left the school. It worked for years (in fact it still works now in 3.5, but I digress). I would basically do what you think you is best for your games.
