[QUOTE="howandwhy99, post: 2811453, member: 3192"] I'm playing around still. My DM allows 2 items to be bought for 1/2 cost, if the character has the appropriate item creation feats. (and no more than 2 no matter how many creation feats you take) See my edit above. Blessed Books just aren't cost effective before a certain point. Here is a comparision with a normal puchased spells, puchases with a Blessed Book, and then again a 1/2 priced Blessed Book. The spells are mostly 2x the "free spells" received. FYI: "free spells" are not included in this chart [code][b]Number Level Normal Blessed Book 1/2 cost BB[/b] 8 0th 800 0 0 8 1st 1200 400 400 8 2nd 2400 800 800 8 3rd 3600 1200 1200 8 4th 4800 1600 1600 8 5th 6000 2000 2000 8 6th 7200 2400 2400 4 7th 4200 1400 1400 + Blessed Book n/a 12,500 6250 [b]TOTAL[/b] 30,200 23,000 16,750[/code] This is of course in addition to the "free spells" the character receives each level. (essentially this brings the PC up to 3x their normal starting spells. I think this is more reasonable. I plan to pick and choose as needed each spell level instead of using a blanket format like above. But it's good to know the prices can be reasonable. Once finished the DM gets the list. Hopefully not too much stuff is "unavailable" or "Difficult to find" (i.e. scroll purchase only) I don't know what to think about the free spell swapping of appropriate level mentioned in post 16. Maybe this is why 0-level spells cost nothing to borrow? [/QUOTE]
