i have a newly level 12 sylvan sorcerer, who plans on casting transformation on his animal companion every combat. as you might notice the material component is a potion of bull strength, at 300g each time you cast it would get really expensive.
i found the spell blood money so that i could take 1d6 damage + 1 str damage instead of using a potion.
is there any way, in combat or outside combat (between encounters), you could heal the str damage cheaper than using a wand of lesser restoration?
You could hire a local cleric. Hiring a spell caster costs spell level x caster level x 10. So that is a minimum of 2 x 3 x 10= 60 (not including other fees that could be seen as negotiable). But not always practical since you need to return to them every time. So extremely outside of encounters. See if you can get your GM to let you hire a cleric by "donating" to the church. Just write up a contract where he is just a heal bot, with no obligation to fight the various baddies, and you can probably be able to convince them.
I believe there is a feat that lets you replace any material components by using a Divine Focus of value equal to or higher. Not sure if it would work for this spell, but it's a possibility if you don't mind spending the feat.
The only way (I know of) you could do it cheaper than buying a wand of lesser restoration (90g a charge), would be to craft a wand of lesser restoration (45g a charge).
I apologize, it is a 300 gold max: http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/false-focus
Not even sure if it would work with the potion, anyways.
Wait, don't you need the spell in the first place to craft the wand? If he had it that easily, then he would not start the thread. So either 60 g, but you need to return back to a place you can reliably find the cheapest cleric possible, or 90 g a pop, but you can do it anywhere. Considering that you GM might get tired of assigning a level 3 cleric in every town you go to, I think wand might be the better option.
Any other ways to heal the damage?
sorry i should have mentioned this is for pfs, i can just buy the wand. also that means no gm fiat for having a cleric follow me around.
i was just looking for cheaper options than 90g for 1d4. i would very much like a cheaper way that would heal a flat 1 str damage, maybe at the cost of 20g or so, that would be perfect if it existed. i was just wondering if anyone knew of any.
lesser restoration is a 1st level spell on the paladin list available at caster level 1st. meaning a wand of lesser restoration should only by 15GP per charge because that is both the lowest available spell level and lowest available caster level. which all consumable magic items should use as the base.
there is also, in dreamscarred press's psionics unleashed, a feat that adds your base constitution modifier to the amount of ability damage recovered per day
and a PC with the heal skill can with a DC15 heal check, allow you to recover ability damage at double speed.

Unfortunately not an option in PFS; there's a heirarchy of classes assumed in crafting, so all such wands available for purchase would have come from a cleric.
The threads on that topic have been long, but it's not negotiable.
And I can see the logic; the abstract magic shop at the lodge exists purely to make tween-game auditing easier. Why should it be available to be gamed by PFS players, when it's not an option that would be open to many groups in non-PFS play?
Since paladins are supposed to be rare; they should be off crusading, not sat in a workshop; and I've never seen one in twelve years ever take a crafting feat.
