Are 9th level spell scrolls legal in PFS?


Rules Questions


1 person marked this as FAQ candidate.

Just wondering out of curiosity. I know there are restrictions on how high wands go, but I haven't seen any restrictions on buying scrolls.

Scarab Sages

As I read it, there is no level limit on scrolls, provided you have the correct amount of fame. You can even use prestige points to purchase 4th level spell scrolls at 1st level via 2 PP.

That said, there really should be an upper limit since I really don't think PFS intends players to sling about 9th level spells. Marking for FAQ.

7th, 8th and 9th level spells are not available for purchase via scroll/casting services/etc. until you are high enough level to cast them yourself (assuming you were a full caster)

It's in the Guide.

EDIT: They've changed the language some

Finally, scrolls of spells of 7th level or higher are
not permitted for characters below 12th level unless
you gain access to them on a Chronicle sheet that
specifically lists them.

Spells that are 7th level or higher can’t be purchased
from hired spellcasters, unless listed as available by
your faction.

Both quotes from pg. 20 of the Guide that came out in Aug. '16

2nd EDIT:

And slightly differing language on pg. 22

Any Seeker with sufficient Fame and experience can
purchase scrolls containing 7th-, 8th-, and 9th-level spells,
following the price guidelines in the Core Rulebook. Access
to these spells is restricted to scrolls and is not available for
spellcasting services. Upon reaching 13th level, Seekers are
eligible to select spells or purchase 7th-level scrolls. Upon
reaching 15th level, they are eligible to select spells or
purchase 8th-level scrolls. Upon reaching 17th level, they
are eligible to select spells or purchase 9th-level scrolls.


See page 22 of the Guide to Organized Play (season 8). Scrolls level 7 and up are only available to seekers. You need to be level 17 to purchase a 9th level scroll in PFS.


Thanks all, much appreciated!
