[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 308973, member: 2011"] It depends on what type of a Wizard you are. If you actually take the Craft Wondrous Items feat, you can craft it yourself for 4750 GP and then still craft other cool items such as a Headband of Intellect with whatever gold you have left (assuming the DM is handing out 9000 GP worth of gold and items). You then purchase a boatload of Wizard scrolls of 1st to 3rd level and put them into the book for free. This gives you a LOT of versatility over a handful of items, most of which give you +1 to some save or something. The cost comparison between adding more spells to your spell book with BBB vs. without BBB is: 1st 025 225 2nd 150 550 3rd 375 975 I'd MUCH rather start out a 5th level Wizard with double or triple the number of spells I could just get by gaining levels than with only those spells plus a small handful of +1 items. And, the money you will save in the future will allow you to actually buy good magic items as opposed to sucking most of it up into your spellbook. In fact, the DM for the last campaign I ran a Wizard in started us at 4th level and said that I could have any 1st or 2nd level spell I wanted just by paying the scroll cost. Big mistake. I had about 30 spells or so. [/QUOTE]
