I'm a first-time DM running Legacy of Fire under PFRPG. The party just reached level 2, and I noticed that, not only have they not found any scrolls or spellbooks, there aren't any in this entire 1/6 of the AP. (For those not familiar with LoF: this part of the AP takes place in the desert without any easy access to settlements or shops.)

I feel that this is a problem for the Wizard in the party, because while other players are/will be getting fun new magic weapons, armor, trinkets, etc., he can't learn any more than the two spells per level granted by his class. Would it be un-balancing to pepper their treasure with random scrolls and spellbooks for him to fill up his spellbook?

If a tiny creature is within your square, do you, with an adjacent ally, flank this creature?

A strict reading of the RAW would say "no" (since a line from the center of your square to your ally's square does not pass through two opposite sides of the creature's square), but I'd buy the argument that you are providing flanking by standing on one side (of your choice) of said creature.

How have others played this situation?
