It is currently not possible to scribe in a spellbook that has been scrawled in by a different race. It is also not possible to scribe spells from multiple classes in one book, even if the scribers are of the same race. This second restriction kind of put a dent in my plan to fill a 500 page book for shared use between an elementalist and invoker.
I guess it seems a little silly that a spellbook takes on a 'class' when it is scribed in. I don't have a problem with the race bit really... I suppose that can reasonably be explained as language. Any chance this could be touched up so that massive books can be filled for extensive use?
Thanks!

the same amount .. if the classes both have detect mag at different circles, it'd need to be scribed twice .. or the greater of the two if i am reading this correctly .. it's only be a page or two difference in any case
I tend to agree .. but keep it race based .. ie: humans can use any book humans scribe, gnomes read gnome books, etc ..

SO your telling me. that you guys have never seen instructions in different languages in the same pamphlet?
really.....
It shouldn't matter what race/class you are. If your class/race can read the book great for you. ANY race (even ogres) can tell when a page is blank, and you are able to write in it....
as far as usage though.. if the spells the same spell & circle great use it, doesnt matter if it was a human detect invisible or drow detect invisible, if you can read it good on you. If not.. write it in a blank page ...

A human voker can already use any spells from a yuan-ti elementalist book that are also invoker spells. For example, my elementalist had scribed cone of cold as 6th circle and I didn't need to scribe it in my other voker book even though it's considered a different circle and in a different language.
I then tried to enlist a yuan-ti invoker to scribe other voker spells in the book so that I could just use the one but it wouldn't permit him to because of class restrictions on the book.

This will all be moot in 2.0, when you won't be able to transfer spellbooks at all.
Introduction to the 2.0 Magic thread it says this, in the Spell List section, Acquiring Spells subsection, last paragraph.

In this way, spell collecting becomes an integral part of the game and separates the novice spell casters from the highly learned. As a side note, spellbooks are now tied to their caster and cannot be transferred or taught out of - so everyone must collect their own spells.

It can be a good idea that you like, but if its going to become moot, why waste anyone's time including a coder's?
