[QUOTE="demon_jr, post: 583702, member: 3480"] In my opinion, I believe that one of the reasons my DM ruled that way was to promote more enjoyment of the game. It was not stated in so many words, but I believe many people within my gaming group feel that there are certain things within the game that should not be "automatic" successes. One of these things would be the ability to learn spells. I believe that my DM was trying to convey the sense of "specialness" and "magic" that comes from learning a new spell, by not allowing taking a 10 on a spellcraft check. When a player rolls the dice, there is that sense of randomness and excitement, that can be lost when a 10 is taken. However, as I said before, I am ambivalent to the situation and am perfectly happy with my DM's ruling, but I am curious if there is anything in the rules that explicitly states that a 10 can be taken on spellcraft check in regards to learning a spell.
