What kind of ability is a wizard's spellbook or archivist's prayerbook?!

Not. It's an item, not an ability. |

I am constantly amazed by how many DM's ban Tomb of Battle. The book doesn't even exist! Quotes: By yes, she means no.
That explains so much about my life. hiicantcomeupwithacharacterthatisntaghostwhyisthatamijustretardedorsomething
Why would you even do this? It hurts my eyes and looks like you ate your keyboard before suffering an attack of explosive diarrhea. If using Genesis to hide your phylactry, set it at -300 degrees farenheit. See how do-gooders fare with a liquid atmosphere. |

Not. It's an item, not an ability. And yet it's printed as an ability under the wizard entry. |

Not. It's an item, not an ability. And yet it's printed as an ability under the wizard entry. There's also an ability which lets you start play with an item. It's like... ruathar or the thunder guide thing. You know, the explorer class from eberron that has a class ability where you're friends with a family of drow. Or that other class that has the ability to get royalties from book sales. The GP aren't a class ability, but the royalties are. |

Better hope you use it when there's a ton of sales. |

Note that you get the ability to get the books for one minute each, but the books themselves stick around. After all, if you become a 1st level commoner/19th level wizard, write a ton of spells over the course of your career, then get level-drained down to a 1st level commoner again (and fail your saves), you STILL keep the spellbook. |

I suppose that might work. Damn, and it would give you all the base spells, plus the 2 per level that you'd normally get (since you'd have the spellbook of a level 19+ Wizard). God, you could use this to generate spells for a party Wizard or just get some quick cash (not actually that much for a level 19 character, of course).

"At each new wizard level, she gains two new spells of any spell level or levels that she can cast" Factotums can't cast any spells, since Arcane Dilettante is SLAs. |

"At each new wizard level, she gains two new spells of any spell level or levels that she can cast" Factotums can't cast any spells, since Arcane Dilettante is SLAs. Part of the issue is a Factotum's SLA's are very, very much like standard spells because of the wording of the whole Arcane Dilettante ability. A Factotum can take normal metamagic feats and apply them to his SLA's for example. I'm not really following on the whole Factotum/Wizard thing. A Factotum doesn't need a spellbook at all and has completely free reign of the Sorcerer and Wizard lists, barring those spells which require an XP component. |

"At each new wizard level, she gains two new spells of any spell level or levels that she can cast" Factotums can't cast any spells, since Arcane Dilettante is SLAs. Thing is, she can count as a level 19+ level wizard for this purpose, according to the Cunning Brilliance ability. |

It's getting down to semantics, but I read it as the Factotum counts as a level 19 Wizard only for the purposes of said ability, and spellcasting is a different ability than spellbook acquisition.

Correct, but you still receive the spellbook of a 19+ level wizard, which was the point. |

How much is a spellbook of a level 19+ wizard WORTH, if they only get the levelling spells??

And I'm 100% sure that many wizards would be willing to give you considerably more than that, especially if you've 'found' some very rare spells. |

No doubts, but it pretty much depends on your DM from here on out though.

Yup! But not if it's the wizard or archivist in your party. HINT HINT. |

Something fun to think about: If a DM says a Factotum's SLA's are innate abilities, one can be augmented with Supernatural Transformation. Of note is Limited Wish is viable for this, since even though a Factotum can't use spells with an XP cost, having it become a supernatural ability negates the XP cost IIRC.

Hello, is it possible for a factotum 8/bard 1 to become a Sublime Chord ?
Is it consider to be able to cast 3rd-level ?
The class feature of the factotum permit to obtain the spell as spell_like abilities.
