I want to answer that because I do something very similiar.It's different because in my judgement as a GM, when I stop counting expended items against character wealth, there are a certain amount of expended items that I continue to count. That being, mainly, tomes and other items that have similiar effects. The tome, while no longer there, is clearly not expended... IMO. It's merely no longer transferable.Sure I count the scribing cost of spells into the spellbook. But I don't count the cost of scrolls that the wizard found and then used.Now, how do I determine what scolls he found though? I do it differently each time, depending on the character's background. Most often I just arbitrarily decide on a number of spells (and levels) that he gets at 'scribing cost only'. Of cousre, I also assume that the character is never stupid enough to pay the scroll price when he *could* pay the copy from another spellbook price... even if that is a "GM option" rule... it's also one that makes sense. Why would a seller of spells insist that you but something that cost him more resources to make when you could just as easily buy something that did NOT cost him resources to make? The first one is a profit, sure... but it had initial cost, the second option is all pure profit baybee. They'd have to be sorc's to pass up that deal (Implication: int as a dump stat, additional possibility, no spellbook to begin with). And sorcs rarely waste a feat on scribe scroll.</blockquote>
