[QUOTE="devincutler, post: 6888525, member: 6684551"] This is almost precisely what my 3.5 campaign was.....spearheading a new continent with no wizards at all. I gave the PC wizard warning that there would be no spellbooks to copy from and arcane scrolls would be rare. I also stated that until they were high level, there would be no way back to the old continent with wizards in it (for various reasons). I instead said that the 1st level wizard PC had stolen or was bequeathed his master's spellbook, and I said it had a certain number of spells per spell level. I then rolled half of them randomly and allowed the PC to choose the other half. It worked out quite well. As far as how many? I'd probably give him 6 1st level spells in addition to what he starts with, 5 2nd, 4 3rd, 3 4th, 2 5th, and 1 6th. After that, he's on his own. Also, I don't think 5th edition has rules for researching spells, but you could always borrow from the 3.5 rules for it and allow it as a downtime activity. [/QUOTE]
