A things on the Ruby Phoenix Tournament Chronicle Sheet caught my eye in the gear section that are confusing/need clarification:
+1 adamantine spell storing quarterstaff (7,300 gp)
Is this price intentionally significantly lower than normal? Standard pricing on a weapon like this is usually as follows:
Base Weapon Cost (Quarterstaff): 0 gp
Adamantine Material Cost: 3000 gp
+1 & Spell Storing (Net +2 Magic Weapon): 8000 gp
Total Cost: 11,000 gp
scroll of heightened hold person (375 gp; CL 3rd, limit 1)
I'm assuming the 'CL' means Caster Level 3rd (as it normally does on chronicles), but this is rather misleading (as 3rd is the minimum caster level for a wizard or cleric to cast a 2nd level spell at all). I'm assuming it means the spell has been heightened to be 3rd level based on extrapolating the math:
Scroll Cost: Cost=25 Base x Caster Level x Spell Level
Above Scroll:375 Total Cost/25 Base=15; 15/CL 3=5.
As a level 5 spell can't be cast at Caster Level 3, I'm assuming this just got swapped somewhere. It took us awhile to parse out the point of this scroll until I saw the price and realized CL 3 wasn't meant to mean Caster Level, but Spell Level.
