[QUOTE="Deadguy, post: 1611252, member: 2480"] Stepping quickly past the trite "what your DM says is obviously going to be right in his campaign", I think you have the right of the matter in the sense of the intended meaning of the rules. However, I don't hold out much hope of you reversing that position since he rejects the FAQ. In which case, as a "Wizard-Prestige Class" character you might have to just suck it up! You make a good point of equivalency in the Sorcerer versus Wizard comparison, and I think your DM should be pressed as far as you dare to consider the matter. Bluntly, though, the reason that Wizards get their 2 spells per level by player choice is simply to stop the game being soely dependent on found spellbooks and scrolls. As I have seen, it's sometimes the only way for a Wizard to get spells if the DM is: (i) mean with money; or (ii) doesn't allow any downtime for scribing (or both!). [/QUOTE]
