[QUOTE="Ahnehnois, post: 5900470, member: 17106"] I was aware of them, and I think have I kind of generally used them. The relatively few PC wizards I've had have been allowed to spend their cash to learn spells. I think they spent it correctly, but I rarely checked the math. It's very unlikely that a character would fail those checks. With NPCs, I usually just memorize spells arbitrarily and ignore the spellbook and assume the PCs never find it. On a broader level, most people are well aware that wizards learn spells for free every level, and Collegiate Wizard is a very popular feat. Most wizards use the same spells over and over again, so adding spells to the book is something of a luxury. Also, cash is not really how characters are balanced. Honestly, I think the main balancing factor of wizards is that it takes so long to put together a high-level wizard that no one wants to charop one. That said, I'm not one of those people who thinks that casters and noncasters should be the same. While I'm for changing magic to make it easier to play and less powerful, I don't think there's any need for a fundamental change. [/QUOTE]
