Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mistwell" data-source="post: 8139713" data-attributes="member: 2525">This is not accurate in my experience. We're playing through Yawning Portal, and in a different campaign Mad Mage, and in both there is 1) not enough downtime at all to scribe during the adventures, 2) plenty of spellbooks and scrolls to scribe which are fairly similar to the random one he generated, and 3) plenty of gold with which to buy supplies to have on hand to do scribing, if only you had the time. Right now in Yawning Portal I have had an enemy scrollbook and 6 scrolls I have been completely unable to scribe for all of Doomvault. I so wish I had the time but it's impossible. This class would have let me do it in 2 hours or less.Your experience might vary but the claim this set of class abilities is not designed for the content they have made is false. Downtime is not just an AL construct it's right out of the DMG. So?He's being thorough. Some DMs will rule it is zero cost with the quill, others will not. Most of his video assumes you do have to pay for the expensive inks. Most people complain 5e has nothing to spend gold on, and here you are pretending everyone's short handed on gold. Funny that.It does not. Your worry is not something reflected by most players. Why are your PCs so poor by midlevels when most complain that the lack of magic shops as a generalization in 5e makes it so that everyone is looking for ways to spend gold? Why are you having trouble finding spellbooks when I have yet to play a 5e adventure (6 years now of two games a week) that DIDN'T have one. We even found one in Strahd I think.Comprehend Languages comes up fairly often for my wizard where they need to cast it quickly and not wait 10 minutes. Detect Magic has definitely come up where we could use it cast right away, and it's one reason Warlocks sometimes take it as an instant-on ability. Breath Water can be pretty handy when you find yourself suddenly about to be dumped into water. Yes, we are all aware it's proficiency bonus times a day. A LOT of good powers work this way. It comes out, over all 20 levels, to be roughly around 2 times per short rest. It's a good ability. It can severely soften up foes. I'd love to be able for my wizard to have this ability. I think it will be a real game changer. Maybe you have not played many mid to high level wizards?</blockquote>
