[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 1783400, member: 1465"] That would be a good guideline. I am not sure however if the duration should actually be longer for the more powerful potions/scrolls or or the less powerful ones... Thinking that a character is in a way brewing/scribing for free, the limitation on how much stuff he has at a time is the result of (1) how much time does it take to make the item and (2) how long does the item last. Let me take some time to think about it... :) For example, let's consider only scrolls for now, min market price and time required to scribe: 0th 12.5gp 1 day 1st 25gp 1 day 2nd 150gp 1 day 3rd 375gp 1 day 4th 700gp 1 day 5th 1125gp 2 days 6th 1650gp 2 days 7th 2275gp 3 days 8th 3000gp 3 days 9th 3825gp 4 days So if a character scribes all the time (assuming she's not adventuring), and if we don't allow to scribe more spells to the same scroll, she can for example scribe all 4th level spells. If duration is 28 days she is going to have up to 28 4th lv spell scrolls at most. Would she choose to scribe only 1st lv spells (duration 1 day), she would have only 1 scroll at a time. Durations and max spells at a time would be like this: 0th ~1 day max 1 1st 1 day max 1 2nd 6 days max 6 3rd 15 days max 15 4th 28 days max 28 5th 45 days max 23 6th 66 days max 33 7th 91 days max 31 8th 120 days max 40 9th 153 days max 39 this makes higher level spells much more advantageous to be scribed. If I used a fixed expiration time, the situation would be slightly better but not completely, for example if all scrolls lasted 12 days (just to make it a nice number), this would be the max number of scrolls per level: max 12 if all spells are of levels 0th-4th max 6 if all spells are of levels 5th-6th max 4 if all spells are of levels 7th-8th max 3 if all spells are of level 9th What do you think? Is the number too low? Keep in mind that scribing is free otherwise ;) What may not be nice is that there's no difference which caster level you are except that scribing time may be more if you set CL to max. [/QUOTE]
