[QUOTE="FoxWander, post: 5149283, member: 1356"] Huh? What exactly are you trying to say here? The original point of the thread was "Would it be game breaking if a sorcerer had the ability to scribe a scroll using a spell from a captured spellbook?" It wasn't until the second page of the discussion that trying to turn the spellbook into an infinitely copyable scroll or a big book of scrolls was brought up. I'm of the opinion that both of those uses are bad ideas (which is agreeing with you, I believe!?) open to much abuse. But I think the [i]original idea[/i] (in quotations above) could be allowed without breaking the game. Yes, allowing the sorcerer to scribe a spell he doesn't have on his 'known spells' list isn't allowed by the rules but, with a spellbook to use as a guide, I don't think it's unreasonable to allow- with some restrictions- given that sorcerers can already [i]cast[/i] any sorcerer/wizard spell from a scroll regardless if they actually 'know' it or not.
