[QUOTE="Dichotomy, post: 4974539, member: 12941"] [sblock=OOC]Neth currently has two full CLW wands and a third with 45 charges remaining. He currently does not possess any scrolls. So Neth should probably make a scroll instead of a wand? Re: Potions vs. Scrolls. In general, potions are nice because anyone can use them. But they are more expensive. Re: CLW vs. CSW. Assuming minimum caster level, CLW restores (on average) 5.5 hps, potions cost 50 gp, and wands cost 750 gp. CSW restores 18.5 hps, potions cost 750 gp, and wands cost 11,250 gp. If the wand is being used (as we have in the past) not during battle, but rather for just healing in between battles (where you can afford to do healing in small bursts), CLW is clearly more cost effective. Therefore, you'd only use more powerful healing during battle (when you need a lot of healing right now). Because both Neth and Kushnak can spontaneously cast healing spells, they can use their spells during battle if a lot of healing is needed. Now, it might still be good to have some extra (either potions or scrolls) on hand for more. But I think that sums up why Neth has only crafted CLW wands. Re: stuff Neth could scribe. Ti's list of spells is pretty good. There's a whole host of spells that could be situationally useful, and, therefore, useful to have on a scroll. I'd rather not decide myself. (Oh, I just happened to pick water breathing, and, what do you know, we have to swim through this thing here....) I will note, though, that Neth picked bard spells with the notion that some would be often situationally useful (glitterdust, silence, shatter).
