As far as buying scrolls goes to learn new spells,
How much should I charge my players for buying scrolls? I think it corresponds to how much XP you get from learning whichever spell, but are there any pricelists anywhere?
Thanks. |

It would seem that to enchant a sword it must be made from the finest material available, then why should this not extend to the paper it is written on. I would recommend double or triple the cost of normal paper or parchment.

No, I had not forgotten. I was simply referring to something which I read on the community3e.com site a short while back. It stated, as a DM's optional rule, that these certain 'finest materials' and their associate values should have some effect on the overall price of 'gracing an item with magic'.

Buying scrolls to copy from is done normally; the market value would be caster level times spell level times 25gp.
Cost (gp) per level (assuming wizard scrolls with minimum caster level)
0 12.5
1 25
2 200
3 450
4 800
5 1,250
6 1,800
7 2,450
8 3,200
9 4,050
Characters can also pay fees to look at another wizard's book. (At the DM's option, the characters can gain a little cash the same way.) |

Yes, there is also an optional rule floating around the web that states that the value of the material the spell is printed on should also be considered in the price.

For just writing down new spells then its just the cost of a sheet of parchment.
For buying pre-written scrolls then it depends on which spell is enscribed upon it (a wish spell will cost considerably more than a dancing lights spell ) |
