[QUOTE="Ferrix, post: 1904616, member: 6115"] Playing a wizard, I've got a couple questions. Will there be significant availability to acquire spells from others, scrolls, etc.? Follow up to that, will there be an amount of time and resources where I'll be able to scribe new spells into my spellbook? If these are going to be pretty rare, could I take Collegiate Wizard from Complete Arcane? Because otherwise I'm going to have a pretty empty spellbook to draw upon. Since I'm also playing a necromancer, and reading the spell point system, I only get to prepare an additional spell of each level, however I don't gain any additional points to cast this spell. I find this pretty much makes me want to not be a specialist wizard (losing two schools for just being able to prepare an additional spell and not having the extra spell points to be able to cast it sort of sucks, I know they say versatility but specialists really lose out in the long run without even that minor benefit). Is there something that could rectify this? Perhaps an extra necromancy-only spell point pool from which I can cast necromancy spells (with a number of spell points in it to cast a spell at current caster level for each spell level I've access to). Something like: 1st Level: 1 sp 2nd Level: 2 sp 3rd Level: 3 + 3 sp 4th Level: 4 + 4 sp 5th Level: 5 + 5 + 5 sp etc... I think that's about it. [/QUOTE]
