[QUOTE="Cor Azer, post: 72331, member: 870"] Umm... Can I ask where you're getting the wizard can't know a spell he doesn't have written down? Or at least explain it better, because it's failing to click with me. Spellcraft can be used (at DC 15 + spell level) to learn a spell, which has to be done before it can be copied into a spellbook. First, by definition in English (which, I concede, doesn't mean it applies to D&D), a person knows something they've learned. Second, by your reasoning (as I understand it), if a wizard loses his spellbook, he no longer knows any spells, so would have to relearn all his spells as he replaces his spellbook. For the record, I'm sort of playing devil's advocate here. I don't plan on allowing Spell Mastery to avoid spell copying costs in my games; I'm moreso just looking for established rules to nix it rather than house ruling it (I dislike houseruling stuff without fully understanding all the rules involved).
