[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 6699066, member: 11146"] Something Kobold Stew said a while back during the dogleg fight interested me. I forgot to inquire then, but want to discuss it now: What's ya'll's take on identifying spells? Is this covered by the PHB and I've just missed that section? If so, got a page cite? If it's not in the PHB, should a character be able to automatically identify a spell she encounters if said spell appears on her spell list? What if the character is a wizard but doesn't have the spell scribed in his spellbook? Should he get know what the spell is then? Let me know what you think. Genuinely curious. EDIT: When we ran into this issue during combat, I let Spec know the spell in question was [I]silence.[/I] It seemed reasonable, given it appears on the cleric spell list, he's a cleric, and we were in the heat of combat rounds and I wanted to keep things flowing.
