[QUOTE="Janx, post: 3036573, member: 8835"] [B] Uh, I've been teaching myself to play guitar. It's actually quite easy. And I have no sense of rythm or pitch. I can teach you to play Green Day's When I come around in about 10 minutes. My guitar cost $300, my amp cost $100. You can get started for under $200 if you hunt the pawn shops. It may take some time to get really good at it, but it doesn't take a huge investment of time or money. All in all, its a very good point that if it were easy to do, everybody would have 0th level spells. It'd be dumb not to. But despite the RAW not saying you can't there is one obvious place where it has been prevented. The fact that most of the classes do NOT have any 0th level spells implies that something prevents it. Ultimately, you'll have to make up an explanation as to why, if you do not change the RAW. It's also a good point that in the real world, folks who do little "superstitious" stuff are effectively trying to cast 0th level spells. It might be pretty cool to have a world where all the characters can do that (or a large subset, like old wives tale stuff). I don't know why some people don't learn some skills. I know a wide variety of skills, such as programming, driving, fighting, shooting, guitar playing, reading, first aid, woodworking, metalworking, leatherworking, hunting, trapping, fishing, navigating, rope use and many other stuff.[/b] [/QUOTE]
