How Many Spells On One Scroll?

[DiFier]

I was always under the impression that you could only scribe 1 scroll per day but you could scribe up to 3 spells on a single scroll. (talking 3 days)

In the random scroll generator don't you get 1d3 spells on a scroll? someone has to scribe those too.

By the rules, it's 1 spell per scroll, 1 scroll per day.

My house rule is:
1 spell per scroll per caster level. Thus, a 3rd level caster could put no more than 3 spells onto a scroll.

Hasn't even really come up in my campaign yet, but it seems pretty reasonable to me. I've thought about modifying it to be one spell level per caster level, so that a 3rd level caster could scribe 3 1st levels, or a second level, or a second and a first, onto one scroll, to a maximum of 1000gp.

Nope. By the rules it's 1000GP worth of scroll per day. Nothing in the rules limits it to 1 spell per scroll.

Nope. By the rules it's 1000GP worth of scroll per day. Nothing in the rules limits it to 1 spell per scroll.

But nowhere in the rules does it state that you can actually scribe multiple spells on 1 scroll, even if you can find such scrolls as treasure.

And of course nowhere does it say you can't and the treasure clearly show scrolls with more than one spell.

round and round and round we go, where will we stop, no one knows

From the DMG, page 199.

"A scroll holding more than one spell...."

and

"Scrolls that hold three or more spells...."

The answer is clearly "at least four." The chart shows up to six. 1e specifically said "up to 7."
