I'm a bit confused.
I had a character get permenant ability drain. The party had a cleric, so I bought a scroll of restoration and had the cleric cast it on me. The members of the table said it cost 2,175gp to buy the scroll because of material components. I was catching my character up in hero lab and it said the scroll cost 700gp. After closely reading the spell, I'm not seeing anything that indicates it would cost more than 100gp in material components to cast. I only see a higher cost if used to restore a permanent negative level, and that's just 1000. I'm seeing a cost of 700gp for the scroll and an extra 100gp for material components. Am I missing something?
Casting Time 3 rounds
Components V, S, M (diamond dust worth 100 gp or 1,000 gp, see text)
Range touch
Target creature touched
Duration instantaneous
Saving Throw Will negates (harmless); Spell Resistance yes (harmless)
This spell functions like lesser restoration, except that it also dispels temporary negative levels or one permanent negative level. If this spell is used to dispel a permanent negative level, it has a material component of diamond dust worth 1,000 gp. This spell cannot be used to dispel more than one permanent negative level possessed by a target in a 1-week period.
Restoration cures all temporary ability damage, and it restores all points permanently drained from a single ability score (your choice if more than one is drained). It also eliminates any fatigue or exhaustion suffered by the target.
Well I think it should have cost 1700. 1000 for the material costs and 700 for the scroll itself. The 2125 would be if it was a fifth level spell with 1000 gold material cost.
The spell as two different material components depending on what the effect needs to be. I have ruled that a Scroll of Restoration that costs 800gp can remove temporary negative levels, cure ability damage and drain, and eliminate fatigue or exhaustion. However it cannot remove a permanent negative level.
A scroll of Restoration that is 1700gp can do any of the above or remove a permanent negative level.
I do not know where they got the 2175gp, unless they are talking about Greater Restoration and then it would be 2275gp plus 5000gp or 7275gp.
