[QUOTE="theridion, post: 86983, member: 2763"] I don't like the cost listed in the book. I don't like it because it only hurts low level wizards(usually). Here's my point- wizards are usually the weakest first level characters. at best, you have a spell focused enchanter who can sleep all the goblins you run into, but for the most part, you're in for 5 beginning levels of utility use and emergency spell casting. This is the time where the amount of gold needed to scribe spells is most out of reach. At higher levels, as long as your campain is providing a good amount of gold, you won't need to worry about scribing spells. The first 3 spell levels have all the great and useful spells. If you take your basic party, when you find magic weapons, armor, and items at low levels, more often then not, they go to the person who can use them. "buying out" shares of items is impossible because all the party wealth is in their few magic items at low levels. As a wizard, you have to say, "Um... i know i'm contributing the least out of everyone... especially compared to that cleric who can heal everyone, wear armor, and use our magic greatsword +1 we found... but, would you guys be opposed to selling that so i can scribe jump and web into my spellbook? We already found the scrolls, but it will cost me 600gp to put them in my book. [/QUOTE]
