[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 6960064, member: 6669384"] A Boccob's Book just showed up in a treasure, and mine is the only Wiz in the party. Picking that looks like a no-brainer. But then I read the 3.5 description of the item. Other than being compact and durable, this doesn't seem to do anything. It says that a Wiz can copy spells in without paying the 25 gp per page material cost. The last time I looked pages in a standard spell book cost 15 cp each (1.5 silver), and copying a spell into one cost 100 gp per page. (Player's handbook page 179). So where does this 25 gp per page come in? Am I reading something wrong? is there an errata or FAQ entry on this that I don't know about? (Also note, buying empty spell books and breaking them apart is another economy-break. Parchment normally costs 2 sp per sheet, but if you buy the book for 15 gold you get 100 sheets, or 20 gold worth of parchment.) So, back to the book: Any thoughts on what this actually means?
