[QUOTE="Destil, post: 408206, member: 1980"] All cantrips 5 + int bonus 1st level spells 4 2nd level or lower spells 4 3rd level or lower spells 4 4th level or lower spells 2 5th level or lower spells Thoes are the spells you get for free from gaining levels and as a 1st level wizard (the Int bonus would be whatever your int was at 1st level, if you want to worry about that). Aside from that, you can buy scrolls & scribe them normaly with the GP you get. A 9th level PC starts with 36000GP. A scroll costs 37.5 GP / spell level. Scribing costs 200 GP per spell level (and you can fit 50 spell levels into a spellbook. Cantrips count as level 1/2, of coruse). Note that your DM may require you to make spellcraft checks to scribe these spells. The DC is 15+spell level. Being completly accurate with this is a major pain, because you need to determin what level you were when you aquired each scroll, and the roll once for each time you gain a level, using the increasing spellcraft bonus. A fast, easy way, is to just roll as if you had whatever your 9th level spellcraft bonus was once per spell. Not perfect, but it takes into account the fact that you had more chances to learn easier spells by simply giving you a higher bonus to your one chance. And any scrolls you buy but fail the spell-craft roll for you'll still have as scrolls, and won't cost anything to scribe. EDIT: Note: when I say buy and scribe, I mean assume this had happened as you leveled up, not once the game had started. Simply count the spells you want against your starting GP, and roll to see if you were able to learn them as normal. [/QUOTE]
