It should be noted that wizards get this feat for free at first level. DaBear 09:50, 16 Nov 2005 (PST)

• ah .. Sorry ok I will ... but only it I am sure of the information. I have now added a bunch of points and I am starting to get over the fear of editing. Will now start moving forward with the spirit of Wiki.

[edit] Potency of Scrolls created

(Moved from article page.)

I once made a 40 level wizard on one server for the sole purpose of scribing scrolls for my other builds on that server. I seem to recall that the spell affects provided by the scrolls were far less potent than they would have been if the buffs/attacks were received directly from the 40 level caster himself... maybe the scroll power was limited to 20 caster levels(?). Unfortunately, there has since been a server wipe so I can not test further. Can anyone tell me how caster level is determined for effects from scrolls? Thanks,

Bangolot

[edit] Innate level

Spells cast from player made scrolls always cast at the innate level, which is shown in the spell description for each.

Regardless of whether you are level 40 or 20, or whether or not the spell you cast on the blank scroll is empowered, maximized or extended, the scroll you make will just be the standard spell, at its innate level. I am not sure whether scrolls can be made more powerful than normal, but I'd say that would be a toolbox script edit job, and not possible unless scripted into the server in which you were playing. Also, Wizards DO NOT receive this feat for free at level 1. It must be gained in a feat level the same as most other feats. Bardan

I believe you're mistaken about Wizards getting the feat for free at level 1. I just checked the cls_feat_wiz.2da file, and it's listed (along with weapon proficiency (wizard) and summon familiar). -- Alec Usticke 07:23, 27 July 2006 (PDT)

Strange, because my Wizard actually had to take the feat manually. I wonder if it's merely in the bonus feats list. Bardan

It seems that some spells require material components to scribe (i.e. to scribe a True Seeing scroll, the wizard needs a bottle of dragon blood). Does anyone know more about this?
