I am starting a dnd game with a few friends and have stumbled upon a few questions. My dm dosen't use a lot of magic stuff so its up to me to figure out all the random questions I get ( I am a wizard in the game).
question 1. Does taking spell mastery at level one allow me to have three spell know but not take up space in my spell book ( and does that apply to read magic as well)?
question 2. Am I allowed more than one spell book? ( No clear answer anywhere as they say plural a few times in the rule books)?
this is all for 3.5 edition. Thanks in adavance

1: IIRC, Spell Mastery allows you to pick three spells that you already know (hence you probably have them in your spellbook) and from that point onward memorise them even without access to your spellbook. You could presumably tear those pages out of your spellbook after taking the feat, but I'm pretty sure you already have to know them... I mean, for the sake of roleplaying, it wouldn't make sense if you mastered a bunch of spells that you had no familiarity with, so as a DM I personally wouldn't allow you to glean these spells from scrolls or another wizard's spellbook.

2: Of course you can have more than one spellbook.

Thank you cause I was confused and the FAQs were not helping. Dose read magic take up space still?

It's a cantrip, so as a wizard; yes it takes a slot in your spellbook. You're better off running a sorcerer IMHO.

thank you for clearin that up, and I would run a sorcerer but I like the wizards versatility more, and one of my friends ran a sorc. but he died nearly every game, pulled off two crits with a bow in a row though......

Aloud=out loud, audible.
Allowed=permitted.

The Wizards in my game are not the most Firepower Powerful, but are very dominating. They can control the battlefield like no one else. They are a Controller for a reason. The most dominating spell out there has been Cloud Kill sorry thats Stinking Cloud. And then when the Wizard got Mass Resistance.
Intelligence 20
-Stinking Cloud Damage: 1d10+5
-Mass Resistance [Poison]: Everyone has Resist Posion-10
Eager [our Wizard] Look there is a horde of [Insert Monster Here]
-Minor Action: Mass Resist Poison
-Replace Move Action With a Minor Action: Wizards Fury
-Standard Action: Cast Stinking Cloud
The Fighter Types would just charge into the cloud almost without fear.

I think you're talking about 4th edition and the rest of us are talking about 3.5..... I have no idea what you just said.

4E is special... If playing any class but a caster, I prefer 4E. Casters got simplified to hell in 4E though.
