[QUOTE="kalani, post: 6883253, member: 88085"] Correct - only characters who play at the same table can copy spells from each other. Downtime copying of spells happens [I]after[/I] the adventure / session is completed but [I]prior[/I] to your next game session (or adventure). IOWs, you record the transaction in your notes section for the game session. For more information, please see my[URL="http://dndadventurersleague.org/advanced-logsheet-tutorial/"] [B]advanced logsheet tutorial[/B][/URL], specifically - the following section.
