Multi-class Arcanist spellbook


Advice


Hi all,
I'm encountering a case of a player with a wizard PC looking to dip into Arcanist for a level or 2 for story/roleplay reasons.
Now I realise that the spell preparation and spell slots of the 2 classes are treated separately - not an issue.
But, will they need to maintain a separate spellbook (scribed in the arcanist style) or can they use the existing wizard spellbook to prepare from - providing they make appropriate one-off checks to "learn" the spells as an arcanist first?

Thoughts please.

I am the GM and I will likely follow the above approach with the existing spellbook, but I'd like the opinion of the hivemind.


They have the exact same spell-list. So, it would be perfectly fine for them to have just one spellbook with all the spells they know. Neither Arcanists nor Wizards have a limit to the number of spells they can know.

Thanks, that's pretty much how I'm seeing it. It will be interesting to see how it plays out - whether there will be any retraining of classes later on as the story progresses.
