[QUOTE="rgard, post: 9356818, member: 4157"] Not sure how obscure this was or not for folks, but your character could get blown up and die from using the 'Write' spell to transcribe as spell into his or her spell book. From the magic users' 1st level write spell: [ATTACH type="full" alt="write spell text.png"]364845[/ATTACH] So...it's late 1979 and I'm playing an illusionist in a campaign. My illusionist 'Geb' kicks 3rd level and wants to add the 'Invisibility' spell to his spell book. The DM then says 'you need to roll a saving throw vs. magic.' I replied I didn't as illusionists don't use the 'Write' spell and that there was nothing about getting blown up trying to add an illusionist spell to one's book. Even cited the DM's guide and that I didn't have to do that before. Well, I get rule zeroed. Geb fails his saving throw. DM roles 2d4 an the result is 7: Geb only had 6 hit points. Yep, Geb got blown up. I didn't participate much in that campaign after that. [/QUOTE]
