OK, here's the deal. I'm joining a new campaign and I will be playing a Gnome artificer specializing in scrolls (Artificer 5/Unbound Scroll 1).

After crunching the numbers and spending a little over 1/3 of my starting gold, I have concluded that my character possesses 36 0th-level, 28 1st-level, 20 2nd-level, and 12 3rd-level scrolls.

Now I'm having trouble deciding what spells to put on those scrolls.

Help?

CLW,
CMW,
Knock,
Mage armour / shield
ability buff spells,
dispel,
see invisible
glitterdust
silence
featherfall
Invisibility
Detect secret doors
Magic Aura (remove the aura from your items so "smart" bad guys might leave you your "belt" (of destruction))

heck just head over to SRD (http://d20srd.org) and look over the 3rd level and under spells, list the ones you like and start putting numbers next to them.

I prefer to use scrolls for the occasional use / buff spells and wands for ammo spells. (ok a wand of knock probably wouldn't hurt if you haven't invested in open lock)

But don't forget Craft Wondrous item might be of interest for small items (e.g. rock of prestidigitation). You're probably too low for +ability items though.

Also, while you may have factored starting gold, have you accounted for xp?
(and did you get the crafting discount feats?)

Good list. Yeah, I will be picking most of them myself, but whenever I do that I always seem to miss something.

Don't worry. The math is good.

In that case, list em all, and then remove them one at a time :)

How do you plan to store all of these scrolls on your person?

A combination of the Infinite Scrollcase (from Magic of Eberron) and a Heward's Handy Haversack.
