Message: <blockquote data-quote="Patryn of Elvenshae" data-source="post: 2124956" data-attributes="member: 23094">The wizard and the cleric from my earlier example sit down in a quiet room.  The wizard meditates a bit, and the cleric enters a trance in which he is receptive to his god's influence.  The cleric pricks his finger, allowing the blood to well up in a small, red dot.  The wizard dips an unblemished quill in the cleric's blood, and mixes it into a vial of ink he's specifically prepared for this purpose.The cleric begins to chant in the language of his faith, and the wizard begins to write upon the blank parchment before him.  He can sense the flows of magic, coming through the cleric, via the bridge of holy blood into the ink, and from the ink to the pen and paper.  His hand moves, almost of its own volition, tracing runes in the language of magic.  As each rune is finished, it flares briefly, colored like the sky, locking away part of the cleric's essence, before fading back into the glittery black of the ink.Some time later, the two are finished.  The wizard rolls the scroll, places it in a bone casing, and hands it to the cleric.-------------------------------------------------RAW, the Item Creation feat is no more than just another prereq.  Having the Item Creation feat represents the knowledge of channeling raw magical force into items.  It includes within it the knowledge of how to power that force from your own life force or from the life force of willing participants - note how the rules mention that sometimes, cooperation is necessary to create some items.The creator of an item determines an item's caster level; whether it is arcane, divine, or neither (in the case of scrolls); and who pays the XP cost.If, in fact, the creator had to be the one with the Item Creation feat, this line:would be written much differently.  Since it does not specify that you need the Item Creation feat in order to be considered the item's creator, ruling so takes you beyond the RAW.And, really, is it actually a bad thing that the party Wizard can help the party Cleric scribe some scrolls of CLW and Neutralize Poison?</blockquote>
