Message: <blockquote data-quote="LuYangShih" data-source="post: 818677" data-attributes="member: 10414">My opinion is that, were it not for Boccobs Blessed Book, Wizard scribing costs would be far too prohibitive.  As you say, the Wizard will only have a few more spells than the Sorcerer, and will be hamstrung because he spent most of his gold attaining those spells, while the Sorcerer was free to spend it on other magical gear.Boccobs Blessed Book is brought up in almost any discussion regarding the balance between Sorcerers and Wizards.  In all of those discussions, I haven't even seen one person disagree that Boccobs Blessed Book does not allow free scribing of spells.Just because a majority of people believe something doesn't mean it's right, but if there was a question in the FAQ for every single disagreement made about the rules, it's length would be far too great.  The most obvious (and therefore the most likely) meaning of the paragraph about Boccobs Blessed Book indicates that you are able to scribe spells freely (IE at no cost).  Unless they change this in the FAQ, which I doubt they will do as almost no one disagrees about the interpetation of the paragraph, I am going to assume the rules work as stated.  You can wrangle about the meaning of the paragraph as you wish, but to me at least, the statement is clear enough.PSFreely can mean just that, freely.  "The Trolls would would charge travelers 100 GP if they wished to cross the bridge, but Ogres were allowed to pass freely."</blockquote>
