Scroll Question Help!

[lllbarcodedlll]

So im creating 3.5 magic shop generator for me and my computer buddies who are stationed all around the world. However; I have come to a snag....

Here is an Example of randomly generating a scroll:


[Arcane] [Minor Scroll]
Scroll Name Here (Price Here)


so, i know with Minor Scrolls you roll a d3 for the number of scrolls so here is a more detailed Example:


[Arcane] [Minor Scroll] (which rolls out to 3 spells on the scroll)
Arcane Sight (375g)


So how much does the Scroll Cost with 3 spells of Arcane Sight??

is it still 375g or would it be 375g x 3 ?


Any help would be much appreciated we game tomorrow so a speedy answer would be awesome! ty guys and gals!!

375*3. However, the intent of most random generation tables are that you roll on the spell list three times to get three different spells....

Hmm so you can have 3 different spells on one scroll?
so you can have:

arcane sight
cloud kill
Ethereal Jaunt?

and you just add up what the gold cost is per spell for the total cost of the scroll?

Correct.

Does the scroll "burn up" after one use, after three uses or does each spell vanish after one use so you can only cast them once each?

I'm sure it says somewhere in the DMG but I can't find it...

Well the Dm decides the "pretty stuff"

if it has 1 spell on it you can say, "the scroll slowly Dissolves into nothing" or something along those lines

if it has 2 spells, you can say something like, "The words vanish from the page but some still remain" etc

Generally after all the spells are read on the scroll the scroll is destroyed. some DM's allow people to reuse scroll paper, others do not..

The scroll contains three separate 1-use spells on it. You can cast each spell once.

In case you would like to use established loot generators, John's Dungeons and Dragons Utilities and Treasure Generator for D&D - Myth-Weavers are both excellent treasure generators that are already well established and able to be shared with anyone who has an internet connection.

Good luck with the one you're working on, if you choose to continue it.

The spell vanishes off the scroll, leaving blank parchment in that section.
Relevent SRD entry:

A scroll is a spell (or collection of spells) that has been stored in written form. A spell on a scroll can be used only once. The writing vanishes from the scroll when the spell is activated. Using a scroll is basically like casting a spell.

That seems to indicate that scrolls are one-use items regardless of how many spells are on it
