[QUOTE="Someone, post: 2985419, member: 5656"] Ok, let me know what you think about this alternative instead; add these paragraphs to he end of the “prayerbook” item: [b]“The archivist can add any number of spells from the Cleric and Druid lists to his prayerbook, but the total number of spells in his prayerbook not belonging to these lists is limited to three per class level. The player must clearly mark in his character sheet what spells belong to this extra list.* When there´s conflict on what level is the spell in the Archivist list, the hierarchy is as follows: the level of the spell in the Cleric list (not including domains), then the Druid list, then Sorcerer/Wizard list (this doesn´t mean the spell will be arcane, only that it´ll have the same level as it has in the Sor/Wiz list).
