Manny could use the pearl part of the time, spells part of the time and read books in languages he knows the rest of the time. At least I think it would work out well that way. We could also use the scholar spell we learned a couple times a day each to reduce reading time as well. Logically, we'd use that spell for the longest books.

 

[Leif]

Scotley, can you (or anyone else) point me to the page number that contains the Pearl in the MIC?

Found it! page 118. Cost to create = 300gp NOTE: "Each pearl is created for a SPECIFIC language such as Dwarven or Draconic..... you can only have ONE pearl of speech at a time." It also has a Command power that can be used once per day.

prereqs to create: Craft Wondrous Item, Command, Tongues. cost to create 300gp. 24 xp, 1 day.

So, to use these, you'll need to find or create pearls of speech for the Drow language, and, to make them, you'll have to find someone to cast Tongues (and Command) for you.

You had a semi-permanent one set up in a shop in Pembose, and you can keep on using that one. Did you guys aleady buy that building, or just rent it? If you didn't buy it, then you'll need to about, oh, say, NOW.

Huh? What shop are you talking about? I don't remember that. How much would it be to rent or buy one?

 

[Leif]

The way I remember it, when you were doing all that spell swapping, you secured a shop in Pembrose, so you'd have a nice, secure spot to do all of your scribing. I think maybe you bought it outright, but I can't remember for sure. (See below) I thought you were the expert of exactly what had been said in the game, Kerlan! (Guess it doesn't work as well for ya if you can't throw it in my face, huh? )

Actually, as Kerlan found, it was Magus Crus who rented the old Pembrose Schoolhouse in which you did your scribing.

 

[KerlanRayne]

When you get ready to proceed and give Magus Crus the necessary gold, he goes straight out and rents the old schoolhouse in Pembrose, so that you will have a quiet, comfortable place in which to do all of your transcribing.

Is this what you're talking about? It's the only thing I could find.

 

[Leif]

Yeah, that's it. Old schoolhouse - I had forgotten that that's what it was.

 

[KerlanRayne]

Yeah, that's it. Old schoolhouse - I had forgotten that that's what it was.

So what do we do? Do we use it too? Do we have to rent or buy? How much for each?

 

[Leif]

Well, good question. My ruling is that the rent is already paid for the next two weeks, so you can use it for free for that long. Then I guess you'll have to talk to the landlord about it.

The Healing Belt has a retail price of 750 gp but the creation price is listed as 500 gp and 40 xp. Usually the creation cost is half the retail price. Do I, 1) Use the creation price in the book, or 2) use 375 gp and 30 xp which is half the 750 gp price.

I even checked the errata and there's no correction.
