OK, as a noob to making magic items, I'm trying to learn this stuff. I understand that you have to know the spell in order to scribe a scroll of it. That part is clear. What I'm having trouble with is conflicting information. Being new to scroll creation, I've got one person telling me it takes up a spell slot, and another saying you just need to know the spell. Is it like preparing a spell? Do I use a spell slot to make a scroll? Also, how does it work for some one like the artificer, whom doesn't have daily spells?

I typed Ghostbuster and ghostbusters into the search bar, but didn't find anything to what I was looking for. Basically, I'm looking for the pathfinder equivalent of a ghostbuster. Anything you guys have ideas on? I was thinking of using the artificer to get this job done, but that may not be the right route, at least spell wise. I believe they are divine and arcane in their weird science inventions. My GM said he would be willing to work with me on this, but first we had to make sure there were no other alternatives to use.

Having said that, what spell combos, wondrous/magic items, or artificer inventions do you think would accomplish this?

My GM has given me the following list of things that need to be accomplished:

1) Proton pack/Neutrona Wand - You know, the bit they use to wrangle a ghost/hold it in stasis?

2) ghost trap - The, well, er.. trap that traps...ghosts... I thought about an Iron Flask, maybe there is an alternative? Maybe a small chest with Trap the Soul?

3) PKE meter/Goggles - I think a simple device with detect undead will suffice here. Maybe throw on detect magic with it?

Like I said, I'm thinking artificer, because of his weird science inventions, and that seemed like a good place to go. I appreciate anything you guys can offer in help.

Hello all. I'm new to the message board, and somewhat new to PF, been playing it about 4 months now. So, right now I'm playing my two characters, one being an oracle, the other being a scout assassin (cohort). Part of what I like to do is build characters, to see how the other classes would look if I built them. So far I'm doing good, until I decided to attempt an alchemist. Now, I've seen a few times where people have stated that they are subpar and what not, but I don't mind that. I didn't think he would be the type right there in the enemies face, anyway. Alchemist seems more of a support role, with being able to mildly help it's self in melee, and bombard the crap out of anybody who is there.

So here's what I'm having trouble understanding. Everything else I get, until it comes to the extract/potion section. That is where I get lost. Am I supposed to just decide what "potion" I want by viewing the spell list?

I mean, I've built the alchemist fairly well, I think. It's just a matter of getting this extract/potion/formula stuff figured out. Sorry, I didn't find the books helpful in answering this, but I may have misunderstood by the wording.

I'll be happy to post the character if you would like to give pointers. I'm always open for constructive criticism.
