Neil:
Sorry to drag this thread back on topic, but I am a little unclear about what happens with things like the loremaster rule that allow you to know all of the spells in a lore. For example I take a Vampire Lord with Forbidden Lore, so he knows all the spells from the Vampire Lore. I have second Lv 2 Vampire. Does Forbidden Lore count as an ability that allows me to circumvent the normal spell selection rules and duplicate spells? Or does my second vampire just get Raise the Dead (the signature spell) and Invocation of Nehek (the spell that is outside the Lore and all Vampires get automatically) and loose his third spell (even though he is Lv he gets 3 spells - Invocation plus 2 others). The second option is the way I am currently thinking.
What happens if its two Slann, one with the ability that gives him Loremaster, or an Empire army with Balthasar Gelt and a second Metal wizard?
