[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 2950533, member: 29014"] Because you can get PCs to do things for cheaper than the rules state are market price. Rinaldo sells things for less than full price in LEW, I bet once we see PC item creators they will sell some things for lower than 100% too. But the NPCs don't. That same NPC can receive 25 gold per casting of a 1st level spell, which takes 6 seconds. You are asking them to spend two days to receive 12.5 gold (because you make them bring the materials, so they could have just bought it at market price for 25). You actually have a 25% chance of succeeding by the way, so your math is off. An Artificer who had more than 12 Charisma or Skill Focus(UMD) would have more. Also, once you hit level 2, you may have 5 ranks in Spellcraft, which gives a +2 synergy to UMD checks involving scrolls. Decipher Script is another +2. I think the chances are generally pretty fair. Oh, and I would say that you [I]do[/I] need to spend Craft Points to craft out of your current level's craft reserve on generation, but for higher-level characters, you get the previous levels' craft reserves for free. I don't know if someone else has said anything different somewhere else--probably. In other words, your character has effectively just hit your current level (hence no additional XP), so crafting with the current level's pool on creation is actually crafting just after creation, but the previous levels occurred before creation.
