[QUOTE="Pax, post: 409375, member: 6875"] As a GM, here is how I handle such questions: At 1st level, you get 3+INTMOD spells. At each level after that, you get 2 free spells of a level you can then cast. So, go through each level, picking the spells at those levels. Then, if you want more spells in your spellbooks, pay the price of a scroll of that spell; if you so choose, it is scribed in your spellbook for free, INSTEAD of you having the physical scroll still (if you still want a scroll of that spell, buy it again). While this requires the Wizard to spend gold to obtain the scroll (unlike the idea of "found" spells), it makes the transcription into the wizard's spellbook free (unlike ALL spells beyond the 2-per-level). I also presuppose every wizard with a permanent home, has (for "free") a backup spellbook. Any wizard without, who gets a permanent home, spends a bit of time scribing ("free" of gold cost) selfsame backup. However, by "free", I mean, the transcription into the main book, covers simultaneous transcription into the backup ... no EXTRA gold o time needed. The raw book itself, however, still has to be paid for (which could get quite pricey, considering I use the [i]Magic of faerun[/i] rules for enhanced spellbooks). [/QUOTE]
