[3:48 PM] Medb Blæcwiell (Stein): Iirc you said I can't craft scrolls higher than my equivalent CL, but I can buy and use scrolls higher than my CL because of the magic item use rules, correct?
[3:49 PM] Archiplex: with a UMD yeah
[3:49 PM] Archiplex: err
[3:49 PM] Archiplex: no a CL check yes
[3:49 PM] Medb Blæcwiell (Stein): I thought all we needed was the requisite mental stat, no?
[3:50 PM] Archiplex: except that all other pre-requisites musst be met as normal
[3:50 PM] Archiplex: so
[3:50 PM] Archiplex: you're considered as if you were
[3:50 PM] Archiplex: all divine/arcane lists
[3:50 PM] Archiplex: and had every spell on your list
[3:50 PM] Archiplex: and eveery spell known
[3:50 PM] Archiplex: but you still need to match stuff like
[3:50 PM] Archiplex: CL, race, class, etc
[3:51 PM] Archiplex: in no way should you ever be better than a similarly-leveled caster of whatever class the spell you're casting belongs to, basically
[3:51 PM] Archiplex: although keep in mind that the CL check is literally 1+ the scroll's CL
[3:51 PM] Archiplex: so it's not like it's hard
[3:52 PM] Archiplex: but I can buy
[3:52 PM] Archiplex: I gave leeway for you to buy scrolls because you can craft them and you want it to be your main gimmick, but i'm not all too fond of letting you buy scrolls that wouldn't be able to craft
[3:52 PM] Archiplex: being able to access every spell list is already pretty big!
[3:53 PM] Medb Blæcwiell (Stein): Alright. I'll stick to level 1 scrolls
[3:53 PM] Medb Blæcwiell (Stein): and 0
[3:53 PM] Archiplex: also
[3:53 PM] Archiplex: keep in mind you can make soP scrolls too
[3:53 PM] Medb Blæcwiell (Stein): Oh that's true
[3:53 PM] Medb Blæcwiell (Stein): I'll have to read up on those
[3:53 PM] Archiplex: I can explain in a nutshell
[3:53 PM] Archiplex: spheres uses the same cost formula, but uses complexity instead of spell level
[3:54 PM] Archiplex: A sphere starts with a base complexity of 1, this is it possessing the base sphere
[3:54 PM] Archiplex: So a scroll of Cure would be complexity 1
[3:55 PM] Archiplex: Every new talent you add to it is another complexity, with talents that cost a spellpoint increasing it by 2 complexity
[3:55 PM] Archiplex: you can't make dual-sphere sscrolls so that doesnt matter
[3:55 PM] Archiplex: yeah thats about it
[3:56 PM] Medb Blæcwiell (Stein): So complexity = CL
[3:56 PM] Archiplex: I might enforce a minimum CL or force you to use a vancian version for some scrolls, so do tell me if you make sop scrolls
[3:56 PM] Archiplex: no
[3:56 PM] Archiplex: complexity = spell level
[3:56 PM] Archiplex: CL is still CL
[3:56 PM] Medb Blæcwiell (Stein): oh I get it, okay
[3:56 PM] Archiplex: i.e you can't make a scroll of Life (Restore) + Restore Soul to remove all ability damage for 50gp lol
[3:57 PM] Medb Blæcwiell (Stein): Yeah
[3:57 PM] Medb Blæcwiell (Stein): That would be what, a third level spell?
[3:57 PM] Archiplex: i'd force you to default to restoration and similar
[3:57 PM] Archiplex: restoration is level 4 ye
[3:57 PM] Archiplex: lesser is 2 and heals 1d4
[3:58 PM] Archiplex: Also, for vancian spells
[3:58 PM] Archiplex: ALWAYS Wizard>Cleric>6caster>4caster
[3:58 PM] Archiplex: for which spell level you use
