lars 06-22-05, 11:13 AM	Sorry mate but that does not make sence. If the cost to scribe a spell is in fact 100gp per page then it would cost 100.000gp to scribe 1000 pages(as in the Magic spellbook "Boccas blessed book") But the item only costs 12.500gp and it specifically states that you can scribe a spell in it for free without the normal cost of 25gp per page. So....is that a typo ?

All such books are durable, waterproof, bound with iron overlaid with silver, and locked. A wizard can fill the 1,000 pages of a blessed book with spells without paying the 100 gp per page material cost. This book is never found as randomly generated treasure with spells already inscribed in it. Moderate transmutation; CL 7th; Craft Wondrous Item, secret page; Price 12,500 gp;Weight 1 lb. I guess you have an old version.
Jaid 06-22-05, 01:57 PM	hmmm... i see... i guess i probably should have looked up the item in question more closely :doh: right then. well, in my defense, i don't play wizards often, so i don't use that item often either :embarrass

lars 06-23-05, 10:33 AM	Thanks for the good replies. I guess i do have an old version of the DMG. Any wizard should eventually get this book. WooT!!!
