Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mistwell" data-source="post: 7851501" data-attributes="member: 2525">Wait, first, a spell book looted from the big bad has the same zero cost and is MUCH more of a common thing than just finding a scroll of force cage (and the cost of actual scribing is really low). Second, I've played several fighters in this game and every time I had to buy the plate armor rather than find it.It's not a ridiculous claim, and you just declaring it so without any support isn't persuasive. Your complaint about wizards scribing is literally the first I've seen of it's kind in the over 5 years 5e has been out - here, or at Reddit, or the WOTC boards before they shut down, or anywhere else. You thinking you're speaking the obvious smacks of you living in a bubble and having not considered for a moment the possibility you might be off on this topic. Take a moment and consider - is your experience maybe differing from others by a large degree? Or do you even have the experience with this topic in 5e at the table at all to be declaring other people's views ridiculous for dissenting from yours?My first time seeing it as well. And you and I have been around actively since the beta test. Most build guides I've seen just assume you scribe ZERO spells along the way and just work with the two spells you get for free each level - which makes for a plenty powerful wizard with way more options in their spellbook than spell slots to use them anyway.I strongly suspect we're talking to someone who thinks 5e works about the same as 3e, and hasn't actually played a wizard to mid or higher levels in 5e to know that the scribing isn't that big a thing in this game. Indeed, most people who actually play 5e beyond the low levels I've seen tend to complain they don't have much to spend their gold on. Some have argued Matt Colville's kickstarter success was at least partially because building a stronghold was SOMETHING to spend that higher level gold on!</blockquote>
