Jeeezus!Ok, lets consider a level 20 Wizard, with 19 (minimum Int to memorize all his spells).Thats 40 Spells, + a bonus spell at 1-4 for 19 Int, 44 spells.So, 36+32+28+24+20+16+12+8+4+2(each cantrip counts as 1/2 a spell level)= 182 spell levels x2 (for pages) = 364 pagesJust for fun lets say the wizard is memorizing ALL of his spells. And knows EXACTLY which ones he wants for the day.Now, there is 3600 seconds in an hour, According to the WotC a 20th level wizard can read at a good pace of....*drumroll* approx 9.89 seconds PER page. And have it MEMORIZED! And thats a 20th level Wizard with the MINIMUM stats, how often does THAT happen?Wow....all of these guys should go in the fantasy version of the guiness book of world records.Now, just for sake of argument. A first level wizard with the SAME intelligence requires the SAME amount of time to read 5 and 1/2 pages. Thats about 10 minutes a page for a guy who JUST as smart and talented.There is something here just a BIIIIIIT off if you ask me.Calrin Alshaw</blockquote>
