Message: <blockquote data-quote="strongbow" data-source="post: 549477" data-attributes="member: 2650">Ok, so I'm hearing two arguments from my original post here:D)A cleric, if given access to a non-domain only spell not normally on his/her class list, can put that spell into a divine spellbook, and prepare it without a spellbook.  (A slight variation from this.  The spell does not neccesarily have to make it into a formal spellbook. The difference is minor)G) You sick fool, divine casters can't do anything except their own independent research. Nice try.Now I would like to throw a wrinkle into the mix.  Since divine casters have to follow the rules for arcane writings, they have to have some writing of the spell at some point. One argument is that they can scribe the new, non-base class list spell into spellbook format.  This way, an independent researcher could allow the spell to be copied without having to make scroll after scroll.  If the above holds true, then could a divine caster, following the rules for arcane preparation, memorize a spell from a borrowed divine "magical writing", which appears to be a simple re-naming of a spellbook,(contingent on a successful Spellcraft check) and then make his her own divine "magical writings" with that spell   Keep in mind that divine casters are supposed to make these "magical writings" per their own rules.  By the way, I have been asking for the technical explanation here because I play in Living Greyhawk.  With no DMs to provide some common sense to everything, one must go with the technical rules in the tournament format.  Thanks for the posts, and keep the discussion rolling.  I understand some posters concern with a "slippery slope", and agree.  The Living format fortunately/unfortunately makes house rules unworkable.  If I were asking for my own campaign, I would welcome the suggestions.  Because I am asking in part because of Living Greyhawk, I am asking that house rules have no place here, although I will keep them in mind for home campaigns.</blockquote>
