[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 7353969, member: 12731"] My immediate impression is that low-level scrolls remain too cheap. Even 1st level scrolls hold incredible utility to tier II characters. I guess you could say this another way: I don't believe low-level characters need to be able to buy scrolls in 5th edition. At the other end, I'm not immediately concerned. Those prices are steep! Sure you can spend 100K on scrolls when you have a million bucks, but you will not want to buy more than one bundle. It appears I need to contract the "scroll curve". Prices need to start higher, perhaps by saying "1st level scrolls are appropriate for 4th level characters", meaning the scroll's price level becomes = scroll level + 3. At the other end, that would be far too expensive. So maybe this "+3" is reduced one step per tier: +2 for tier II, +1 for tier III and no surcharge for tier IV. What does this get us?!
