From D&D Wiki
Oct 15, 2016 Having scrolls that more than one class can use is a great tool from a game-designer's point of view and especially useful for a DM to help the characters out of a dead end without it seeming too much like deus ex machina. Hope this has been of some help to you! Spell scrolls are explained further on page 200 of the Dungeon Master's Guide. May 19, 2012 Re: DnD 3.5 Item Creation: Replacing XP Penalty with 'XP Scrolls' Unearthed Arcana has 'power component' rules that allow you to use power components in place of XP at a 5:1 ratio. I'm not sure if that's for crafting and not just XP-voracious spells, but the ratio seems to hold in that book, too. Sep 17, 2014 If the spell written on the scroll appears on your class’s spell list, you can use an action to cast it without having to meet any of the spell’s requirements. If the spell is of a higher level than you can normally cast, you must first make a magic ability check to cast the spell. The DC equals 10 + the spell. Any costs incurred in casting the spell need to be added to the cost of the potion during creation. Potions take at least 1 day to make. You can scribe scrolls using spells on your spell list. Minimum caster level is the level of the spell, or by 50% of rarity costs. Costs for scribing scrolls are 25 gp × the level of the spell × the caster level. A scroll holding more than one spell has the same width (about 8 ½ inches) but is an extra foot or so long for each extra spell. Scrolls that hold three or more spells are usually fitted with reinforcing rods at each end rather than simple strips of leather. A scroll has AC 9, 1 hit point, hardness 0, and a break DC of 8.

| This page is of questionable balance. Reason: Core feature conflicts with the magic item rules in the DMG. The DM decides on the cost, availability, and creation process of creating a magic scroll. The recommended values of a 1st level spell scroll are a fraction of the cost presented below. Even if the campaign requires this class's method of making scrolls, the costs are beyond the means of low-level PCs, giving the class not much to do for a long time. Scribe Tracks seems to be describing occupation: anyone attempt these tasks anyway, using a downtime activity. Overall you shouldn't have to pay to use class features and the class as a whole could use some significant work to make the class more usable.

Scribe[edit]
Scribes come from all walks of life. Some dress in fine silks and write beautiful calligraphy. Others sit at dusty public stalls writing correspondence for the illiterate poor. But, they all write for a living. In addition to their skill with the quill, scribes are adept at making writing supplies, crafting magic scrolls, and even casting a spell or two.

Scrolls[edit]
To make a scroll, a scribe must craft sufficient uncommon paper and magic ink, purchase additional spell components to add to the ink (equal to the level of the scroll x 1,000gp) and make a successful DC check equal to 15 + the level of the scroll (Proficiency Bonus and Intelligence bonus apply). If the roll proves unsuccessful, the 1,000gp of spell components is still lost.

2nd Level: Continual Flame, Darkness, Invisibility, Darkvision
3rd Level: Counterspell, Dispel Magic, Remove Curse, Levitate

5th Level: Animate Objects, Legend Lore, Scrying, Telekinesis
Ability Score and Language Increase[edit]
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of you choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Also, because of your constant exposure to other languages, you become fluent in a new language every 4 levels starting with 2nd level.
Scribe Tracks[edit]
Scribes are needed at all levels of society - from the royal calligrapher to the shady guy making fake passports over a beer in the back of a seedy tavern. The four scribe tracks reflect this diversity. Pick a track and add your Proficiency Bonus to the appropriate Ability Score Bonus when rolling for results from that track. The DM will assign a DC based on the difficulty of the job:
5 = very easy,10 = easy,15 = moderate,20 = hard,25 = very hard,30 = nearly impossible
