[QUOTE="IcyCool, post: 1870035, member: 20308"] Hi all, I have two questions regarding craft points that didn't seem to be addressed in their discussion. 1. The Fabricate spell. Does this spell simply provide you with the needed craft points for a non-magical item or the non-magical portion (such as a masterwork weapon) of a magic item? Or does a non-magical item/portion just not use any craft points? 2. Multiple spells on a single scroll. Is scribing multiple spells onto a single scroll considered creating one magic item or many? For example, Timmy the 1st-level mage scribes 4 level 1 scrolls. This costs him 25 gp each, and 4 exp. Under the current craft points system, this also costs him 4 craft points. That is pretty straight forward. Now let's say that Timmy wants to create a single scroll with 4 level 1 spells on it. Does this cost him 100gp, 4 exp, and 1 craft point (as a single magic item), or 100gp, 4 exp, and 4 craft points (as multiple magic items)? I have a couple of suggestions on how I think it should work: 1. Non-magical items and non-magical portions of magic items require no craft points to create when created with the Fabricate spell. A craft check is still required, as per the spell description. For magic items, subtract out the cost for the non-magical component before calculating the amount of craft points used. 2. I'm currently playing a wizard, so I'm in favor of "Multiple spells on a single scroll count as a single magical item." For this to work however, a mechanic must be established detailing how many spells or spell levels can be present on a scroll. (So it would probably be easier to count them as multiple magic items.)
