For those groups who don't wish to bother the current rule is fine.2. When gaining a new level a character can try and research a new spell of a level he can cast, it require one week per spell level and (spell level)d6 X 10 GP of spell component, at the end of this period the spell is automaticly added to the character spell book.3. Spells are only acquired by in game actions, finding a magic scroll or a spell book, learning from another magic user etc...Another optional rule Spell learning chance: each time a character try to learn a new spell it need to roll a d% bellow its Int score X 5, caped at 95% on a failure the character cannot learn this spell. So a wizard with 16 Int have an 80% chance of learning new spells.And one last optional rule, Number of spell known per spell level: a wizard can only understand a finite number of spells, that number is determined by Int score - 10, so a wizard with Int 15 will be able to learn 5 spells per spell level.I want this rules to be written down instead of having to house rule them in, mainly because I don't want to have to explain it and argue with new players who only want to use RAW.What do you guys think?Warder</blockquote>
