[QUOTE="Dwimmerlied, post: 6138274, member: 6706967"] If my reading of the SRD RAW are correct, losing your spellbook is an absolute nightmare... Learning spells... Writing spells costs time and money (100gp and 1 day per page) Apparently you have to [I]learn[/I] the spells all over again, unless you can manage to get access to the spells you have previously learned in the form of a [I]borrowed spellbook[/I] and can succeed at the check to understand another's writings (strangely, RAW, this means that you [I]must[/I] relearn spells you already learned from, say, captured spellbooks and such, though preparing them from borrowed spellbooks doesn't require the learn check). In game and out, this is a logistical nightmare. It makes sense that a Wizard losing a spellbook is going to be painful, but this kind of thing could grind a campaign to a halt! Does everybody do this RAW? Are there other interpretations? How do you streamline the whole process? Have you (or your players) ever been in this situation? Share your experiences! [/QUOTE]
