Suggestion for Wanderer: start with the Book of Cantrips

[Tristian]

Like it says, not sure if this is the right place for this suggestion.
But I was thinking about the Wanderer starting kit. Maybe instead of a totally random starting spellbook popping up in the equipment, how about starting with the Book of Cantrips?
It's a very basic book with a bit of variety that would allow for branching out to various schools. But they are all also very useful spells that would be useful for any low-level adventurer.

Just a thought.

They don't get a totally random book. They get books corresponding to their skills, either chosen from the starting books for other backgrounds (minor magic, battle, geomancy, etc.) or randart books with two spells for the skill.

Making every wanderer into a summoner would not be an improvement.
