Unless the DM chooses to make potions of healing rare, which the DMG does not suggest, the PCs should be able to either purchase the potions outright, or else agree to a quest of some sort in order to have the potions made. So although potions are not available at the local Sam's Club, anywhere there are name-levels priests, potions of healing are potentially available. Scrolls are even simpler; the only requirements are fine materials and some kind of special ink, determined by the DM. Doubtlessly, the ink required for a clerical scroll of CLW, while closely guarded by the clerics themselves, is something that is common knowledge among powerful clerics. It is true that getting a fully charged, 50 charge wand of CLW is more involved in AD&D than in 3e, no question. Still, scrounging up up a few partially charged wands is probably not outside the realm of possibility. And wands found as treasure are no more likely to have all 50 charges in 3e than in AD&D.</blockquote>
