[QUOTE="kalani, post: 6837825, member: 88085"] I am unaware of that rule Pauper (spending 1/4 SLs in DT I mean). The rule for spellbooks in the AL is as follows: [h=5][B]Are players allowed to copy other players' spellbooks? How does copying spells work with downtime?[/B][/h] Yes, characters can copy spells from found spellbooks or other characters’ spell books. If the DM allows in game copying go by the rules in the Player’s Handbook. If it’s out of game, copying can be done with downtime at a rate of one downtime day for up to 8 hours of copying. (FAQ 3/20/15) To my understanding, the above ruling has been clarified to allow the following: [LIST=1] [*]You can copy spellbooks in-game without spending downtime (providing you have sufficient time to do so). In [I]out of the abyss[/I] for example, there is a period of 3 months that occurs between the first and second half of the adventure that players could easily take advantage of; while most other adventures have either no opportunity, or at most 1-2 days opportunity to copy spells. [*]You can only copy spells from another player at the same table (unlike magic items which can be traded between characters who never adventured together - copying spells requires both characters to be physically at the same table). [*]Once the adventure ends, those players have one opportunity to spend downtime copying spells from each others spellbooks. [*]You can copy spells from a looted spellbook at any time. If two (or more) characters play the same adventure - each of those characters can copy spells from the looted spellbook in-game, or at the end of the adventure using downtime, after which it is my understanding that one character can keep the spellbook as a physical item (and copy spells from it at a later point). [*]Players can also copy spells from a previously looted spellbook in-game (but cannot do so with DT unless they have physical possession of the book on their character sheet). [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
