Message: <blockquote data-quote="Thomas Hobbes" data-source="post: 1874286" data-attributes="member: 8623">That's a pretty big incentive not to craft anything (edit: during character creation), though, since you'll be 2nd level for a while (unless you level up right after a battle), and you lose access to a) one of the crafting feats, and b) a whole level of spells.  If that's the case, I'll wait for a while before scribing my scrolls of Unseen Servant, thanks. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Which I suppose leads to a larger question I should've asked- how useful will these feats be?  How much downtime will we have to craft things?  Perhaps we should dip further into UA and use craft points?  Or would it be best I not take them at all?Edit: Exceedingly lengthy description added.  Jeez, where did that come from?  The last three paragraphs are the basic points, I suppose.To describe Alexi's decadent lifestyle, should we use the upkeep rules in the DMG (pg. 130?)  200gp/month is nothing compared to a 5,000 gp reward.  I need a dollar-signs-in-eyes smiley. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Edit again: Couple more questions (yeah yeah, I know you're out at turkey day, but my thanksgiving comes with net access and insomnia. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" />).  Pearls of power- how do they work, if they exist at all?  When activated, do they circumvent a recharge time (could I, for example, take a standard action and wait 1 round instead of 1d6+1 for general recharge spells or whatever for specific recharge spells?).Copying spells to one's spellbook from a scroll costs 100gp/level in materials, plus the cost of the scroll.  Copying from another person's spellbook costs 50gp/level in materials, plus 50gp/level reccomended fee to the Wizard.  In every case except for cantrips, it's cheaper to copy from someone else's spell book.  Would I be right to assume the free market has provided this service? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> Seems like it would make sense in this high-magic capitalist world- the people selling the scrolls are undercut (unless, of course, they are the same people offering access to spellbooks, in which case, hey, more business), the people selling the scribing materials benefit from increased business (and, again, may be the same people), and every mage who wanted a spell would jump at saving (spell level*caster level*25) gp per caster level, plus focus or material components.I'm gonna proceed buying equipment on the basis you'll see the, uh, brilliance and inherent wisdom in my arguments (yeah, that's it).  I'll modify anything that you disagree on when you get back <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
