So, I'm doing my first play through of 5.6 and doing the whole 25 point buy thing. I just bought my large outhouse in Nulb. Before this, I bought out all of Burne's scrolls so I could kick back in my rotting 3-legged chair and copy some spells. I start doing it and I come to learn that the former rule to learning wizard spells does not apply anymore, that being if you fail to learn a scroll, you cannot try again until the next level. Now, if you fail to learn/copy from the scroll the first time, you can keep trying it until you do succeed, provided you have more than 1 scroll. The thing about it is that you cannot try to learn any spell twice in a row. If you fail the first time, you must try the next scroll and then after that you can come back to it and try to learn it again, or else you WILL get the invalid action for trying to relearn a scroll a second time in the same level. It doesn't have to be the same spell scroll, just a different spell scroll. AWESOME! Was this meant to be on porpoise? Because if it was, I don't believe it's RAW as it once was, but I'm not complaining. I dig it. Maybe it's because of that "red scroll" that Shining Ted was talking about!
Save before you try to learn the spell. Then if you fail, you reload your saved game and try again. Keep reloading until you are able to learn the spell. That's what I do.
Yes. that's true. However, you do not need to do that anymore. If you like to take the time to repeatedly save and reload, more power to you. I'll continue doing it the way that Co8 lets us do it, quickly and minimum hassle and without having to stop and restart. That's far too much bother for me.
Definitely sounds like a bug; Co8 aims to keep things as true to RAW as possible - which is what TOEE is all about, as opposed to the myriad of other dnd crpg's out there that have all kinds of modified rules.
