[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 7355196, member: 12731"] Sure, but it seems you conclude you need to spend 1/3 of your wealth to buy a single scroll of "your level". Not a bundle of scrolls. Doesn't this mean you think I'm five times too cheap? Your "slot" terminology makes me guess you're talking about the DDAL guidelines in XGE, but I haven't read XGE in detail, so it's just a guess. Sorry, but isn't that the only way to use a consumable? :) If you simply mean you suggest I list scroll prices for individual scrolls, I'm all in - the final price list won't say that a bundle of scrolls costs 1000 gp, say, it will say one scroll costs 200 gp.
