[QUOTE="Trevelyan, post: 4266177, member: 54488"] The rules for the wizard's spellbook seem a little unclear. Each time you gain a level that lets you select a daily or utility spell you gain two spells. That's all ok up to level 9, but which point you should have 6 daily attack spells and be able to prepare three of them. Next we're told that if you replace a spell due to retraining or gaining a level the previous spell is lost and replaced by the new spell. Laying aside the notion of vanishing spells, this is pretty clear on retraining and makes some sense but how does the "gaining a level" clause interact with the previous comment about getting two spells every time you gain a level that lets you select a daily spell? Should a 19th level wizard have 6 daily spells (2 at level 1, 5 and 9) some of which he may have retrained as higher level spells? Should he have 10 daily spells (2 at level 1, 5, 9, 15 and 19) some of which he may also have retrained? Does the truth lie between the two in that retraining a 1st level spell at 15th level grants the wizard 2 15th level spells?!? Now throw the Expanded Spellbook feat into the mix, which lets the player add a daily spell for each spell level he knows a that point, and in future add two spells instead of three on gaining a new level. Different interpretations of the original calss feature would lead to this feat working in different ways. Any/all comments welcome. [/QUOTE]
