Is Scribe Scroll in NWN:SoU arcane-only?

[Pielorinho]

I just got Shadows of Undrentide and am enjoying playing a druid. I got the scribe scroll feat so that I could stock up on the spells that I rarely use but really want when they're necessary (e.g., remove disease). But I've not been able to figure out how to make scrolls.

Someone on another board just told me that scribe scroll can only be used to make arcane scrolls. Is this correct?

If so, BOGUS!

You need to buy blank scrolls from the 'magic item' shops.
Unfortunately, you can only make scrolls that are already in the game (not any spell), so you may as well buy the scrolls, and use the feat on something more useful.

Scribe Scroll was introduced in HotU, but I think it was added to all versions in one of the patches or something, since it was available to me as a feat before I picked up HotU. The only problem with that is the standard blank scrolls that are used with the feat I think are only in HotU. However, if you are making a module in the toolset even without HotU, you can still create a blank scroll item and it will work just fine (I tested this myself before I had HotU.)

If the patch that added in Scribe Scroll added the blank scrolls as well you'll be able to use the feat normally, but you'll have to use the console commands to spawn scrolls for your own use. I never tried this because I didn't know the tag for blank scrolls. This is how you do it:

Hit the ` key (just to the left of 1) to enter the console commands. First type: DebugMode 1.
Then type dm_spawnitem x2_it_cfm_bscrl. When you're dome making scrolls, type DebugMode 0. That's the tag for blank scrolls, and if they're available, that should spawn some for you. If it don't, that means BioWare goofed and enabled Scribe Scroll for non-HotU users but didn't bother to put in the blank scrolls for them to use.
