I just wanted to provide a bit more reasonable number for my own table which doesn’t always match the general public. This means a cantrip (0-level * 8 + 8) would take 8 hours, and a 9th level spell (9th-level * 8 + 8) would take 80 hours, or 10 days, to complete.Ĩ0 hours vrs 48 workweeks is a huge difference, and DM’s are always free to adjust that number for their own table. To determine how long scribing a scroll will last simply takes the level of the spell scroll times 8 and then add 8 to that total. In order to scribe a scroll, you need the required materials and you need a few days to work on the scroll in 8 hour increments. Furthermore, you must expend the appropriate level spell slot in order to make progress on the scroll. Every time you wish to craft a scroll, you must expend materials to create the scroll, which is provided in a handy chart, as well as provide the material cost for the spell if there is any. The supplies is going to provide ink, paper and a few quills to get you going though it is by far the most expensive of the supplies to purchase. You need paper, you need ink, you need gold pieces that are consumed in the crafting of the scroll, and maybe you need a few rare and exotic materials. It’s not a simple process and, much like WotC’s system, is pricey to create. To craft a scroll, you need a lot of supplies. I am horrible when it comes to names, just ask my table who have interacted with legendary NPCs like Bob and Bob. I can’t even say it the once with out getting a bit tongue tied. I get that, which is why I’m making this tool. And who has the time?! Not even liches are going to spend 48 weeks working on a single scroll when they have the entire cosmos to study! No matter has that amount of time, and if they did and were hoping to sell their scrolls… who is spending over 250,000 gp on a one time consumable?įrankly, I find the numbers a bit ridiculous and yes, I am aware I can change them to what I want and that WotC just provided extremely high numbers to make their scroll system work in any game world, even incredibly low magic campaigns, and to not make DMs feel like they have to have cheap scrolls in their campaigns. I have a pretty good imagination, but I just can’t figure out what a wizard is doing for 48 weeks in creating a spell scroll unless they have the same level of ability as I do when it comes to procastinating. Spending 15,000 gp on scribing a 6th-level spell scroll seems pretty crazy and I have to wonder how much money other tables are just shoveling out to the players.īeyond just the amount of money players are expected to spend on their spell scrolls, it’s also an incredibly long time to produce a scroll, with a 3rd-level scroll taking a week of work and a 9th-level spell taking 48 weeks to produce. Though, it provides some very steep prices for creating a spell scroll that I personally don’t feel is very representative of many tables. Now, before we get too far into this Xanathar’s Guide to Everything, on page 133, provides their own rules for scribing a scroll. Scribing scrolls has a lot of potential for spell casters to increase what they can do in a single day, or allows them to prepare alternative spells than what they normally do if they have a scroll on hand.įor those that don’t care about the how of my tool:įor best results in GM Binder, use a Chrome Browser This is our first set of tools that is not pre-existing in some form in the Dungeons & Dragons 5e system and it’s something I’ve been asked to create by my players and by readers on the blog, so I’m quite happy to finally get to this point.
