[QUOTE="Dog Faced God, post: 347358, member: 4642"] It sounds like the only thing you have a problem with is the loss of your spellbook. Benben had an excellent suggestion. Pick up the pieces, and try to put it back together. It's not like it was destroyed by a <i>disintegrate</i> spell. Almost every DM I've played with has presented some sort of threat to the Wizard's spellbook. Whether it was a thief stealing it, or it getting soaked crossing the river, or whatever. I have done the same thing in my games. Wizards should guard their spellbooks with great prejudice and care. Pretty much anyone who even looks at their spellbook should garner icy looks. Anyone who touches a Wizards's spellbook without permission should lose their fingers (they make great spell components!). Don't fret. All is not lost. I'm sure your DM doesn't plan on completely nerfing your character. He's just creating some adversity for you to overcome. Trust your DM. If your DM continually violates this trust by not allowing you to overcome you should consider joining, or forming, a new group. [/QUOTE]
