So, rules in PFS currently state that any scrolls purchased are made by clerics, druids, and wizards/sorcerers.
I recently broke a rule (unknowingly) I had misunderstood from someone else. I purchased a scroll of Angelic Aspect, Greater for 1,000 gp. It was used, but honestly didn't change anything during combat.
My question is this: Why can my character (who is a paladin) not purchase this from another paladin? Why does it have to be from a cleric, sorcerer, or wizard? I'm not going to deliberately break rules, but it seems to be a huge slap in the face to other classes. Not only can this not be purchased until 12th level, but if you are creating a scroll of this particular spell you have to be 15th level versus 13th (if you are a paladin).
I guess I don't like the idea that paladins apparently can't put their magic into a scroll but a cleric of a higher level can?
And then you don't pay the cost of an 8th level scroll because it is also a 4th level paladin spell. You would pay a lower price for it anyways?

I wouldn't say you get a refund of your gold since you already used it.

I would be even more baffled to find a paladin with the Scribe Scroll feat. Honestly, has anybody made a paladin with Scribe Scroll/Brew Potion. Anybody?!? They are feat starved enough as is!

:P
I suspect there are some, but probably not that many.

It really does seem disingenuous to give yourself the money back for an item you have used,which appears to be what has happened. I would say you are still out the gp, the fact that it had little effect is irrelevant.
Absolutely. A strict GM would say that you should pay another 2000gp so that you paid the right price for the scroll...
But probably best to just leave things as they stand.

It was a mistake first and foremost, and as rules are written, it should have never happened in the first place. Suspend disbelief a little to change this. I have already talked with my GM about it and the issue has been resolved.
Would it also be disingenuous for a player to remember some extra damage that should be applied to an enemy that also kills it before said enemy kills a PC? Does the GM add the damage or not because the players turn is over?
I appreciate the feedback though, and I won't repeat this mistake again.
(This post can be moved/removed now just in case anyone with that ability sees it)

Or a wizard with scribe scroll has the paladin provide the spell for him when he scribes it.

I'm one of the GMs who won't "turn back the clock", "correct the oversight", etc. Once a player has finished their turn and I've called the next participant, that's it.
The only exception I'll make is if the correction clearly would have saved a PC from death.
Trying to go back and fix things really interrupts the flow of combat.
It works both ways. I'll often realize I forgot to use a feature like Power Attack, just after the bad guys turn.
This also applies if we discover we've been using a rule wrong. I think it works a certain way, or a player does and I don't catch it. Then someone actually looks it up after a few turns have gone by. Going forward, we use the proper rule, but I don't go back and try to change what's already occurred.
