[QUOTE="5ekyu, post: 7515595, member: 6919838"] I have no problem with enemy wizard's working spellbooks being treasure - i mean - enemy boss armor and weapons are often treasure right? i see the spellbook as part of "the equipment worth something" for the wizard NPC. That said, one should keep in mind a number of possibilities - like special interdim chests to hold them, conjurerers using conjuration to work off facsimilies of their own books, crafty wizards having backups and such that they can get to if the resources and level are appropriate, etc. Its in my experience often that PC wizards spend time and money to prepare for bad results and counter the eggs-in-one-basket aspect of their spellbooks and my NPCs do as well. To be honest, off the top of my head, its likely that far more of my PC wizards have gained bonus spells from captured/found spellbooks than from scrolls. heck, have them find a mauled caravan on the road and signs of a dead wizard and missing spellbook and the party wizard will push for "we gotta go get those raiders!!!" for you.
