Is it legal - making a book of scrolls


Rules Questions


Theres already a thread on the subject of using a spellbook as scrolls.. but what about something sorta opposite that...

Can I buy a ton of scrolls.. stick them in a hardcover ... and then whenever I want to cast a scroll I pull out the book and flip the pages to the correct scroll?

Or is this a reskin and not pfs legal under reskinning rules?


You can buy a scroll with lots of spells on it. However off the top of my head i dont know what the limit is. My guess is the fact that it is portrayed as a book would be confusing for pfs.


Pretty sure such a thing wouldn't be legal for PFS.

However, look at this. I think it fits what you're asking about.


Couldnt I just call the book a container holding the scrolls.. and use the rules for retrieving a scroll from a container to make it legal?


I don't see why you couldn't bind the scrolls into a single "book." I don't know how PFS would work but I can't see why it would be a problem. It's not reskinning in my opinion. It's just storing it differently. Now you couldn't also use it as a spellbook, that would be reskinning.


Instead of a scroll case, it's a binder. Or a clipboard. Like a book, but much, much easier to replace used scrolls since you don't have to strip away the binding and rebind it to put new pages in.


Im taking profession book binder ...


Perferated edges on the scrolls after binding them in the book? Like rip-away pages in workbooks?

In PFS you can have any number of spells on a scroll, but if more than 1 spell is on a scroll they must all be the same spell.

That's an . . . odd house rule.

It is a PFS rules limitation, designed to limit action economy. It came as a result of some people making "wonder scrolls" with a lot of different spells on them so they only need to use one move action to acquire any number of remedies all in one package.


That's a feature, not a bug. But to each their own.
