I've just opened my ToB box and reading the manual (I'm at work so I can't actually play the thing) - just got a quick question?

If you erase a spell from your spell-book, if you rescribe the same spell (or a different spell for that matter), do you get the XP again?

<font color = lightgreen>I would guess that you would, but I've never done that. Why not try it out and then let everyone know what happens?</font>

Yes, you will get the exp

Certainly would be a bit cheesy to keep doing it, but then I suppose far worse has been done. Of course, it would be most useful for a mage/thief with scribe scrolls [img]smile.gif[/img]

Sir, I take my hat off. That is the absolute cheesiest thing I've ever heard. I wish I'd thought of that.

Rather worryingly, it was the very first thing I thought of when I opened the TOB manual! The XP gain is low, but completely risk free, doubt I'd have the patience to do it often enought to make a difference.

Actually It isnt cheese.... its not using a bug in the game... so its not cheesy at all... if you think about it a Wizard that studies and learns a spell gains the experience of learning the spell but he forgets it..... so really that is a perfectly fine thing to do.....

It all depends on the reason for doing it - there's a difference between removing and learning a new spell or just doing it repeatedly for the XP.

But don't you only get XP when it is learned from a scroll. I did not think you received XP just from putting new spells in your book. Seems to me I remember getting XP from new scrolls.

I guess if you find a scroll of a spell you know, then you would get the XP if you erased the known spell and relearned it. Could that be what you mean?
