Pencils

[CookietheFerret]

Do pencils or crayons exist in any form on Golarion and how much would they cost?

And if they don't exist yet would they're invention be worth getting Shelyns notice?

The only writing implements that I can think of in Pathfinder are the inkpen, chalk and charcoal

[Dragonchess Player]

During the Middle Ages, charcoal and lead were used to make non-permanent marks (often lines to keep writing neat or sketches to use as a guide for painting). Modern "lead" in pencils is a graphite/clay mix.

Colored chalk is mentioned in Ultimate Equipment, although no price is explicitly listed (personally, I'd go with 1 sp to 1 gp, depending on how rare/expensive the pigment used to color the chalk is*). Grease-pencils are basically the same thing, just using tallow instead of chalk.

*- certain hues required very expensive pigments.

As I understand it, the development of graphite pencils had more to do with the discovery of a massive, extremely pure graphite deposit in England than it did with any specific technological advancement. So there *could* be graphite pencils if there's a similar source of the raw material somewhere.
