Does it mean "you can learn one more spell which means add one more spell in your spells-book" or "you can cast one more spell" or "you can prepare one more spell"? thanks for helping! ;)

(The sorcerers class description explains it better than the wizards does I believe...don't have my books with me...)
ehrin 02-27-05, 09:43 AM	it means you can prepare or memorize and cast one more spell of that level per day, if you meet the ability prereq.

BW0222 02-27-05, 12:18 PM	>so wizards dont get more spells known? Not based on that table. A wizard doesn't know any spells. She has a spell book which she scribes spells into. She prepares spells (fills slots each morning) from the book. A 1st-level wizard begins with all 0-level spells (except those from oppositing schools), plus three (3) first level plus one per point of intelligence bonus. Thus, a higher int will allow a wizard to begin with more spells in their spell book. However, a wizard can scribe spells which he has found on scrolls into his spellbook. So int isn't as much of a factor before 1st-level as luck in finding arcane scrolls and gold during ones adventuring career.
