[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 995478, member: 1465"] I was just about to write my support for this idea as well, but others have already done so. If you want, you can fulfill your idea AND follow the rules as well, it's not so difficult, just talk with your DM and ask him what are his plans. Converting every single daily spell into a scroll by dropping scribing time from 1 day/spell to the same time needed to normally prepare your spells is effectively a little too much. As you said it yourself, it will cost a lot of money and Xp as well, and be sure you are never going to use them all (in fact you already thought about selling books of scrolls you don't need any more). Furthermore, you are basically "retaining" every spell/day, accumulating thousands of spells per year, it is effectively quite a lot. But if your DM keeps track of time in a sensible way, and doesn't have adventures one after each other, you can make it. Remember that expected PC advancement is approx 1 level/13 encounters (of CR = avg party level), and a full-time adventure gives about 4-5 encounters/day. An week adventure is usually going to level you up, and I really hope you don't play a game in which your PC gains 50 levels/year! If your PC is adventuring an effective 50% of time, he'll be 20th before the end of the first year, which is A HELLUVA FAST! Even if that's the case, you can make more than 150 scrolls/year, just agree with the DM to count the "days off" and choose 1 scroll/day as usual. You'll still have many many of them without breaking the rules and with less gp or xp expense. If it's too few scrolls still, you can find a way in-between, for example multi-spells scrolls can be probably considered a single magic item within the rules. [/QUOTE]
