Don't understand this too well.

I came across this in the new Guide to Pathfinder Society Organized Play on page 24 "For example, a
scroll of lesser restoration must be purchased as a 2nd-level
scroll off the cleric spell list and may not be purchased as
a 1st-level scroll off the paladin spell list. If a spell appears
at different levels on two different lists, use the lower level
spell to determine cost. As an example, poison would be
priced as a 3rd-level druid spell instead of a 4th-level cleric
spell."

First line says to use the level 2 version of the spell from cleric's for purposes of costs instead of the level 1 version from the paladin's list. Yet if you continue to read you see the opposite being said after that. Is this a major typo?

I've flagged this to be moved to PFS specific forum as this is a specific PFS rules.

I am not a PFS player so I am not an authority here, but I can tell you that the specific example isn't incorrect, but what they've written here is contradictory and creates problems.

I believe the actual ruling is that you must buy a spell based on wizard or cleric capability to produce them. Hopefully someone with more PFS knowledge can comment.

Wizard, cleric and druid are the NPC makers for PFS. Unless the spell is not on the list for one of those three. So, you cannot use the paladin's first level lesser restoration, you must use one from a cleric. However, since poison is on both the druid and cleric lists, you can use the one of the lesser level.

A scroll of bless weapon is only on the paladin list, so that is how you cost it, as a paladin spell.

I believe you prioritize 9th level casting class spell lists over the lesser casting spell lists. Then you look at the spell level itself.

The whole quote from that page is:

PFS guide, Potions Scrolls and Wands, p24 wrote:

All potions, scrolls, wands, and other consumables are made by clerics, druids, or wizards in Pathfinder Society Organized Play. The only exceptions are spells that are not on the cleric, druid, or wizard spell list.

For example, a scroll of lesser restoration must be purchased as a 2nd-level scroll off the cleric spell list and may not be purchased as a 1st-level scroll off the paladin spell list. If a spell appears at different levels on two different lists, use the lower level spell to determine cost. As an example, poison would be priced as a 3rd-level druid spell instead of a 4th-level cleric spell. All potions, scrolls, and wands are available only at the minimum caster level unless found at a higher caster level on a Chronicle sheet.

So a cleric/druid/wizard spell level takes precedence over other classes' spell lists.

Avatar-1 is correct, but to further clarify:

If the spell is on any of those three class lists, it must be used from that source, however, if it is on more than one of those lists, and is given at different levels in those lists, you use the one from the list that gives it at the lower level.

So, for another example, if you were to buy a scroll of continual flame, it would be purchased as the second level Wizard spell, rather than the third level Cleric spell.

Part of it was because of exploits; and having a readily available wand of lesser restoration available as a 2 PP purchase would facilitate several of them; and partly for that mythical quality, fairness, since almost everyone looks at the Cleric & Wizard spell lists first.

[Jason Wu]

Is the spell on the Cleric, Druid, or Wizard spell lists?

Yes ---> Use the lowest level version out of those three classes.

No ----> Use the lowest level version available.
