Question about gained Wizard spells.


Rules Questions


When wizards gain new spells at level 2 and above, do they apply their int modifier? For example if one had 18 int, and reached level 2, would they gain 6 new spells instead of only 2?

Here's the SRD text.
Thanks in advance.

''Starting Spells (See Spellbooks below): A wizard begins play with a spellbook containing all 0-level wizard spells (except those from his opposed schools, if any; see Arcane Schools) plus three 1st-level spells of his choice. The wizard also selects a number of additional 1st-level spells equal to his Intelligence modifier to add to the spellbook. At each new wizard level, he gains two new spells of any spell level or levels that he can cast (based on his new wizard level) for his spellbook. At any time, a wizard can also add spells found in other wizards' spellbooks to his own (see Magic).

Spells Gained at a New Level: Wizards perform a certain amount of spell research between adventures. Each time a character attains a new wizard level, he gains two spells of his choice to add to his spellbook. The two free spells must be of spell levels he can cast. If he has chosen to specialize in a school of magic, one of the two free spells must be from his specialty school''


No, Wizards only gain two spells when they level up. They can add more by copying from other Wizards spellbooks or from scrolls or from costly spell research.


Ah, alright. Thank you!

And if they PrC out of the class (like into Loremaster) they don't get freebies because their caster level has gone up.
