[QUOTE="Maidhc O Casain, post: 5985005, member: 29558"] When we originally put LPF together, we tried to set it up keeping character balance and ease of bookkeeping in mind. We did incorporate a few things that fly in the face of logic and previous conventions. The 100% buy back rule. As far as I know, we're the only system in town that allows you to sell back equipment at 100% of book price. I've yet to hear anyone complaining about [I]this[/I] one, even though no one else has this convention . . . No price break on crafting of magic items. Scribing spells costs the same across the board - whether one is copying them from a friends spellbook, a found scroll, or a bought scroll. There are no "shortcuts" or "deals." And because of the 100% buy-back rule, this would be fine. The other party members benefit [I]just as much[/I] from finding a spellbook as does the mage, because the cost of the spellbook for party treasure is calculated just as though it were a book full of scrolls. EDIT: And the biggest Bag of Holding carries 1500 lbs/250 cubic feet of stuff. That should easily hold said spellbooks. Cost: 10000 GP (a pittance). [/QUOTE]
