I think the essential part is allowing spellcasters as low as first to be able to do it.Chris Kutalikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01414743509426875792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1389986049507804094.post-51833207127988332502012-03-25T14:47:13.008-05:002012-03-25T14:47:13.008-05:00I like the other formats business, good suggestion...I like the other formats business, good suggestion that I will think about incorporating.Chris Kutalikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01414743509426875792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1389986049507804094.post-86601056092654097132012-03-25T14:34:43.358-05:002012-03-25T14:34:43.358-05:00Interesting take on Holmes scroll creation.

I do like the injection of randomness into the prep costs. I might use something like cost of 100 plus or minus (d10 * 10), plus if the result is even, minus is the result is odd. And then times spell level. So that ends up being 10 - 200 GP times spell level. Expected value of this scheme is 105 GP per spell level.Necropraxishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12716340801054739658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1389986049507804094.post-12916933663416837422012-03-25T13:18:11.476-05:002012-03-25T13:18:11.476-05:00Thats not a bad rule.

It gives PC's a bit more oomph and a little downtime reward for MU's<br /><br />I am not sure it ought to take a a week but its balanced.<br /><br />I do think I'd allow other formats like glass baubles or talismans or ofuda or whatever. The game rules would be the same, just the FX would differ.5stonegameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10694550968360550229noreply@blogger.com
