Scroll Stuff
Posted: Thu Feb 08, 2018 6:25 pm
Been reading some stuff about scrolls, and the RAW seems pretty whack across the board.
I am proposing the following changes:
Basic cost to create a scroll would be: (25gp x level of spell x minimum level required to cast) + any additional material component cost associated with the spell.
Example 1- a wizard writing up a first level magic missile would need to cough up a paltry 25gp.
Example 2- a wizard writing up a 6th level magic missile would need to cough up 1,650gp
Example 3- a cleric writing up a Raise Dead scroll would need to cough up 1,625gp.
Cantrips cost are the same as a 1st level spell.
Note that this is the cost to manufacture a scroll. Retail price will be higher than that. Probably in the +50-100% range, depending on a variety of factors.
Base time to write out a scroll would be an hour a level. Cantrips as level 1.
The inks produced by the Mi-T Maw that you guys bought just so happen to work for scroll ink too. Now that I think about it, there probably should be a pad of spell scroll paper at Goya’s. Too bad they are closed on the Solstice..
