Spellbooks for Wizards: Free or 50g?

Now those numbers are hard to argue with.

And look, it's not just me (the DM in Zurai's game).

Not really. They gave out to much gold and ignored rituals completely in the quickstart rules.

And that thread came to the same result: "Yes, its written as free" - "But KotS" - "Hmm... no idea in that case".

Nobody else is nearly 50 gp below the starting 100. The paladin is a bit over, and the rogue is 10 under, I think. That seems to suggest they were staying pretty close to the 100 gp rule.

The easiest way to figure it out would be to ask yourself one question: Of the two options, which bones the wizard and cleric the least. In my opinion giving them the ritual and/or spellbook for free is the obvious answer to that, especially since the wizard can’t use his utility or daily powers without one.

I just called customer service. Their response (with absolutely no hesitation): Wizards start with a free spellbook. Similarly, Clerics start with a free ritual book.

So, no need to purchase them.

I wish we were so lucky with our book purchases...*calls customer service*

This also means a horsie is availible from the start, with a little belt tightening.
