And if a player approached me with that during character creation - I would let that fly like a bird - absolutely plausible. My problem is when after four levels of fighter, Bob suddenly wants to sling spells instead of swing swords because that looks cooler and does more damage. Sorry, I don't think so.jmucchiello said:Actually Bob the fighter went to magic school. Studied for a while but never succeeded in spellcasting. Still he has the books and when he gets the chance he tries to study them. A few months hanging out with Tom were all it took to turn the theory into practice. One day boom, it all clicked and on that morning he prepared a spell and successfully cast it later that day.
Of course, this means the Bob character sheet should have always had a spellbook and spell component pouch on it. But most people like to plan out their character's progressions so the above at least is plausible.
