[QUOTE="coyote6, post: 1028076, member: 1225"] I'm pretty sure that was an intentional change on the designers' part. Edit: I also hope that the listed version of [i]Boccob's blessed book[/i] is the correct one; while an 87.5% discount is high, you're talking about a 12500 gp upfront cost -- you have to pay that all at once. With a regular spellbook, you never have to pay more than 915 gp at one time (to scribe a 9th level spell into a brand new book). That's a lot of money to have lying around to spend all at once, considering it's only 2k for a [i]handy haversack[/i], which will let one carry 38 normal spellbooks. Sure, you can make your own [i]blessed book[/i] -- but you have to spend a feat, 6250 gp, and 500 xp to do it. Doing all that, just to eventually save 50%* on scribing costs, isn't really worth it. *Note you'd only save that much if you fill all 1000 pages. That's 1000 levels of spells; 15 9th level, 15 8th level, 16 7th, 20 6th, 24 5th, 31 4th, 43 3rd, 50 2nd, 40 1st -- that's a lot of spells. [/QUOTE]
