Speaking of learning new spells, can multiple wizard PCs spend downtime teaching each other new spells?
On the contrary he'll obviously be casting a lot of fire spells...This makes sense if Tim the Enchanter is a Divination specialist, but my guess is that someone whose last name is "the Enchanter" is probably going to be an Enchantment specialist.
Somehow the meaning of the '-mancy' suffix drifted/broadened in the gaming community from 'divination by' to 'magic of.' So a 'pyromancer' in an RPG is a lot more likely to burninate enemies with copious ex nillo conjuration of elemental fire than to have visions of the future when staring into a candle flame.A necromancer can't actually do necromancy? The very word means death divination, otherwise known as speaking with the dead or being a medium. Yet another weird and inexplicable twist in the rules.
Necromancy has always been weird, as it has been traditionally broken up across both wizard and cleric. In order to be a "True Necromancer" you need to be a hybrid wizard/cleric..... Clerics have always been better undead-related necromancers anyway, while wizard necromancers have traditionally been about inflicting death
If you play at the same table as another wizard, you can copy any number of spells from their spellbook at the end of the session. The only limits are your class level (whether you can learn spells of X level or not), your Gold (cost for copying spells and lifestyle expenses), and downtime. You cannot copy spells from wizards who you didn't play with, and only get one opportunity to copy spells using downtime (at the end of your current session and before the start of your next session).
From the FAQAre players allowed to copy other players' spellbooks? How does copying spells work with downtime?
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)

kalani said:In greek, the correct suffix would be "urgy".
No part of your quote specifies that you must play at the same table as another wizard. Where do you get that?
