Steve Jung asked the same question over in this thread, and as I said over there, it would be the most logical step to say that you can only craft 1 item per day.
However, I do think the sages column on crafting items said that you could craft multiple spells onto a single scroll (such as 3 or 4 spells of less than 250 gp value each onto a single scroll in one day). That would at least allow you to handle multiple scrolls at once.

I think the feat you're looking for is Craft Masterwork Item. We combined several feats (Melee Weapon, Ranged Weapon, Armor, Alchemical Item) into one because it would be rather unfair to force a character to sacrifice more than one feat to craft them. It seems there are some instances where the old names are still used.
See, you'd think so, but that's what confused me. Craft Masterwork item specifically says:
You can make masterwork versions of any non-weapon, non-armor item (ie, thieves' tools, etc)
So something's wrong there.
 

And if you read on beyond that sentence, you'll find:

In addition, certain skills provide additional benefits.
If you have 4+ranks in Craft (alchemy), you may spend your craft points to create alchemical items or substances at a rate of 1 craft point per 10 gp of market value of the finished item (minimum 1).
If you have 6+ ranks in Craft (armorsmithing), you may spend your craft points to build masterwork armors or shields at a rate of 1 craft point per 10 gp of market value of the finished item (minimum 1).
If you have 6+ ranks in Craft (bowmaking), you may spend your craft points to build masterwork ranged weapons or ammunition at a rate of 1 craft point per 10 gp of market value of the finished item (minimum 1).
If you have 6+ ranks in Craft (weaponsmithing), you may spend your craft points to build masterwork melee or thrown weapons at a rate of 1 craft point per 10 gp of market value of the finished item (minimum 1).
 

Oh, hm. I read, "... Alechemy? Blah, blah. Doesn't help me."

Thanks, Otu!
 

Thanks for pointing that page out, I did not know that it had been discussed. After you mentioned that the Sage had dealt with the issue, Creamsteak, I remembered that he had also done a piece on Making Magic Items on wizards.com. Here is the relevant page to the scroll issue: link.

On multiple spells per scroll he says:

Also, all the scrolls shown in the Dungeon Master's Guide contain a single spell. There's not actually any rule that limits scrolls to a single spell (see page 237 in the Dungeon Master's Guide). To create a scroll of multiple spells, combine the spells' base costs to determine the scroll's creation time and XP costs. If the multiple spell scroll is abandoned, the whole expenditure is wasted.

One advantage to creating a scroll with multiple spells is that you have to use only one action to get out the scroll during an encounter. Once you have the scroll in hand, you can read any spell it contains. DMs should feel free to set a reasonable limit to the number of spells you can search through on a multispell scroll before you have to use an action to find the one you want. I recommend a maximum of seven spells. If a scroll contains more spells than that, it takes a move action to find the correct one. As spells are used from a scroll, the writing that stores them vanishes from the scroll, which can make the remaining spells easier to search.

So 7 spells max/scroll. :)
 

Could I start some (Record) threads to compile some of the information we have? I was thinking to make a (Record) Spell List to organize all the already-approved stuff.
 

Thanks, but that is something someone with access to the Judge account should do. And with the heap thread and the LEW wiki, the need for that is not as great at the moment.
 

Well, I thought it'd be handy. As it is currently, there are domains and spells spread out through out deity descriptions. I wanted to do the same thing with feats too. Or maybe one thread (Record) Feats and Spells to organize everything. Well, maybe in the future when we get more stuff.

Where's this LEW wiki?
