Scribe Scroll.. want to be sure

[Vlood]

OK, i just wanted to make sure i got this right..

A lvl 3 cleric has the feat scribe scroll and wan's to make a cure moderate wounds scroll.

That will cost 150/25 = 6 exp and 150/2 = 75gp

This includes everything needed to make the scroll ink, pen and paper ?

Anyway this seems quite expensive, if this is correct have anyone made house rules here ?

Don't have the books handy, but that sounds about right. Scribing scrolls, brewing potions, creating infusions...they're all quite expensive. Overly so, IMO, but nobody really asked me.

 

[Dr_Rictus]

Correct, assuming he makes the scroll at the minimum necessary caster level (3).

I'm not sure what seems so expensive about it. It's half the cost of the scroll normally, minimal XP, and pretty worth the price. Or do you mean that it seems a lot to spend on stationery?

 

[Crothian]

Ya, you are right. I don't think it that expensive at all.

I just mean that its expensive. There are probably other material components than the stationery. It could be that the campaign has'nt got the rewards to justify using that amount on a healing scroll, which cant be use by other than the divine caster anyway...

That's a good point. Remember, all the rules in the book were written with a certain PC wealth per level in mind. If your DM is being cheap with the gold, then he should reduce the prices for making magic items respectively (unless he doesn't want you doing that either - which he should have told you about before you picked the feat).

Scrolls are definitely the cheapest, especially at low levels. My Druid likes to make infusions. I wanted to make a couple reincarnation infusions, but they cost 750 gp each! For a spell he could learn and cast for free any day. Just seems a bit much. And scrolls at higher levels get expensive. Just seems that for saving one spell slot in a day, scrolls/potions/infusions are over-priced. But I realize I'm probably in the minority with that opinion.

... or a rogue.

Besides that extra cure spell might save the day when you run out of spells, belive you me, it happens.

I am the DM and im running a campaign made by a friend, who runs another gaming group. Im fairly new to 3E and therefore i have decide to run by the book, but the scroll price seems unfair compared to the rewards. I wanted to be sure i was right, before changing this and probably reducing all prices in the game with 30-40%..

That is the surest way to munchkinism I have heard this week.
