[QUOTE="Drawmack, post: 772550, member: 4981"] So in your campaign everyone must train for skill points, fighter's must train for their feats, rogues must train for their class abilities, bards must study under a teacher to learn new songs that allow new spells, etc, etc - if not then you're shafting the wizard. If so then think of the analogy like this. The wizard researching a new spell is like the fighter developing a new feat (which could be done in game a new fighting style). What would you require timewise and moneywise for the fighter to develope a new fighting style that is not based on any other fighting style in existence? You don't understand why it costs 1k/level. You understand the cost but now why it's so high. Okay let me see if I can address that issue. Scrolls (general prices) - single use item 1st = 25 gp 2nd = 150 gp 3rd = 375 gp 4th = 700 gp 5th = 1,125 gp 6th = 1,650 gp 7th = 2,275 gp 8th = 3,000 gp 9th = =3,825 gp with a brand new spell what you are getting is in essence a scroll that can be used everyday that your enemy will not be able to easily counter at least for a little while. is 1k/level really that much to pay when you consider what you're paying for a scroll?
