I don't know your experience with playing wizards to high levels in 5e...but mine is there isn't much scribing of found spells into spellbooks beyond the low levels. The scrolls are far too rare, they cannot be found to purchase beyond low level spells, and it's just not much of a thing beyond the lower levels. Plus, there are not that many useful spells at the highest levels - that's not a dig, there are some FANTASTIC higher level spells, but the good ones simply don't outpace your 2 free ones each level. You just have no need to scribe high level spells - they're free, at a good rate. But even if you did find them, they're cheap at those levels to scribe as well - incredibly cheap at higher levels. Like "lavish dinner" prices, and not "magic item" prices. That plate armor however is super expensive - so expensive that even if you don't spend a gold piece you're still at mid levels before you can buy it. If you add up that cost alone and compare it to the likely entire-career cost of scribing into a spell book, I think you will find the plate armor is more expensive.Tetrasodium I strongly get the sense you have some baggage from prior editions concerning how wizards work in 5e. You seem to think they're scribing every new spell. You seem to think high level magic item scrolls are just available for purchase or commonly laying around to scribe. None of those assumptions are valid for 5e. Why are you acting like that's how 5e runs in practice? Is that your experience with 5e wizards in pay at a table or is this you just assuming this is how it works because it worked that way in games you played for prior editions?</blockquote>
