D&D 5E ... is "glyph of warding" the 5e way to make spell scrolls?

hehe we've all been there, I tried to do the same at one point.

In theory once your group has teleport and or things like mordenkainen's mansion or demiplane you can still put this idea to work, as the party can "touch and buff" and then teleport.

At this point better allow scroll crafting!

I'm... not quite happy with them. I think it's wise to have the price go up steeply, I think they went overboard.

Are you including the cost in time in your assessment? "You can't go adventuring for several weeks as you scribe this scroll" is a pretty big cost.

well the two would have to be linked - an NPC isn't going to make a scroll that takes weeks to prepare and sell it for 50 gp... so more time would mean more cost.

I just find the GP progression to be janky as heck. Should a 4rth level scroll be worth FIVE times a third level scroll? Really? And then a 5th level scroll is worth twice a 4rth level scroll. There is no rhyme or reason to it.

Glyph is better than a scroll as the trigger can be a no action and the spells do not require you to concentrate... it seems o e can clap to trigger a gylph, at any distance...

this thread is over 2 years old, so I don't remember if it was here or somewhere else, but it turns out it doesn't work - the glyph has to stay in place, you can't bring it with you as with a scroll.

Yeah I was thinking that the glyph itself is stationary... But the trigger can be specified to trigger at a distance... Also, extra dimensional spaces are stationary so a genie war lock bottle or maybe even the inside wall of a portable hole could work to port it around d...
