Scribe scrolls... something doesn't make sense.


Rules Questions

"Scribing a scroll requires 1 day per 1,000 gp of the base price. Although an individual scroll might contain more than one spell, each spell must be scribed as a separate effort, meaning that no more than 1 spell can be scribed in a day"
So, what's the point of scribe multiple spells on one scroll? I can't really see the point. Can someone explain me what in the world I would do with that option?


Maybe there's only one space left in your scroll case?

I think it's going to be one of those niche options that only come in handy in odd circumstances. Like if the DM says paper is rarer than gold in his setting.

Unless you have scroll in hand at the start of initiative, it takes a move action (or even more time) to retrieve the scroll.
More then one spell per scroll means once the scroll is retrieved you can cast any spell on it as a standard action.
This means after the first casting you will have the scroll in hand and will not need a move action to get a scroll for the next spell.
