[QUOTE="stevelabny, post: 6075441, member: 9298"] Let's pretend that wizards NEED to find scrolls... how many "new" spells do they need to find per level? per campaign? What's the correct amount? There are no rules either way for this. So in my opinion, most DMs err the wrong way, and give too many new spells to a wizard..mainly by allowing them to purchase any magic item they want, which means they will ALWAYS buy one scroll of every spell they have any interest in purely for scribing purposes because of the low cost of scrolls. I say players who do this are breaking the game and handicapping the system. Others say that players should be able to buy one scroll of every spell as they level up. And that every PC should have a Handy Haversack as a matter of course, and that if a DM says no, he is handicapping the player. However, if you play "by the rules" a campaign starting at level one, there is no real expected wealth guideline. You will get "appropriate" treasure as you go. You will not get to choose your own items. Unless you take crafting feats, have an unlimited amount of time, and plenty of funds. Therefore, any "wizards are broken" argument predicated on headbands of intellect, haversacks, or unlimited scrolls is a fallacy. [/QUOTE]
