Brune's Spell Scroll Sale

While it is potentially cheating to select only spells burne cannot teach when you create a character... and to select only spells for which you know there is no scroll in a predetermined location in the game; it makes a lot of sense from an in character perspective to not personally reinvent spells you know for a fact burne has for sale. (just ask him what spells he regularly sells early on)
Lacking a concise list of his offered spells I have made a new game, and listed all spells he is offering.

This list is correct as of 5.8 NC beta game.

You can tell what school a spell is by the color of the ribbon on a scroll (or the color of a potion)...

Enchantment: Light Blue
Evocation: Red
Necromancy: Purple
Conjuration: Dark Blue
Transmutation: Green
Illusion: Light Gray (looks almost white in potion form)
Abjuration: Orange
Divination: Yellow

Calculating cost of scrolls, the cost of a scroll is given by its spell level (SL; Cantrips are considered level 0.5) times the minimum caster level to cast it (CL) times 25gp, all of this is added to the cost of costly material component if they exist (most spells do not have those, but for identify this is 100gp for example, while for stone skin it is 500gp).
Note that the above gives you the base price, it must then account for markup by merchant. For example, an appraise of 7 resulted in burne giving me a markup of 39%... this means I need to multiply base cost by 1.39

Example: cost of identify scroll (SL1, CL1) is (1*1*25 + 100) * 1.39 = 173.75gp = 173gp 7sp 5cp.
Example2: cost of teleport scrolls (SL5, CL9) is (5*9*25) * 1.39 = 1563.75gp

As you can see, the costs rise very quickly. faster then the square of the spell level actually.

At first I made the list (which turned out to be complete, I didn't miss a single spell) via manually looking through his item list and writing it down.
Thanks to the suggestion from Gaear I went ahead and looked at InvenSource.mes which was a better way to go about things.

Notice that he carries a scroll of Dominate Monster, but he never offers that specific spell for sale.

 

mmm... the fact I am still getting new spells showing up even after 4 times of "waiting" 10 days, between visits (ray of frost for example showed up after the 4th time I waited) is interesting...

Burne doesn't even know most of these spells if I remember correctly (he can join you)
I am led to believe that he just randomly creates an inventory of scrolls every X days with certain weight given to specific scrolls and spell levels.

It concerns me that in 5.7.2 his inventory eventually bugs out and becomes static as you progress in the game... so by the time you have the money to buy most of these, he doesn't offer them and never will offer them again.
I highly recommend getting as many unique scrolls as you can from him as early as feasible.
especially of key spells (aka, ones used for crafting prerequisites)

 

awesome, I didn't think to look there but this is way better then what I was doing.

 

As for Dominate Monster, isn't it broken? I don't think I've ever used it and iirc you can't learn it.

 

You can learn it, chief. I've done it many hundreds of millions of times. I never use it though.

 

Just 3 are broken...

All Die
Enslavement
The last one I cannot recall right now, some 10th level spell not meant to be for PC's

 

i am not aware of a spell called all die.

Also, mindfog

That makes sense. The 3 spells, All Die, Enslavement and Infatuation are not meant to be PC spells. The answer I was given is that they were put there for NPCs to use on the party.

You can learn them as spells but you cannot memorize or use them in any way.

 

^ Well, frankly, I think monsters like that would be very suitable for high-level new content. Even the Balor doesn't pack much of a punch with an buffed and armed to teeth level 15 and up party, so us NC fans really need some new challenges. Salamanders in fire node, beholders in Water node are about the only real "tough" fights. Also, maybe too much to ask, but can Zuggy be "enhanced" specially for the NC version, maybe?

 

if you want tough monsters you give them PC levels...
The balor's weakness is that it is alone... give him two fiend underlings (a minor fiend of some sort), one is wizard 10 and one is cleric 10... and it would become a really deadly fight ... especially if they are set to buff the balor.

Maybe give it the right gear too... a vest of escape will make it DEADLY! freedom of movement cannot be under estimated. Although, actually he doesn't need the item, just have his cleric underling cast FOM on him on round 1.

 

How about using All Die on one PC per round? Kill one PC per round until they beat the encounter. Would be excellent for Hedrack, Zuggtmoy, the failor and the shenshock/commander of troops fight.
