Yes, I know, but that isn't an efficient use of XP.  A single scroll costs MUCH less XP, and gives only a modest GP cost as well... But I suppose you are right...


True, but last I checked, a scroll isn't a valid target for Metamagic Item.  Did they errata it to apply to spell completion items somewhere?

Well, for major buffs at level 11 an artificer gets a /class ability/ to let him apply a metamagic feat to a spell completion item, with a UMD check.
For minor effects (extend, etc) there is an infusion in Magic of Eberron (Metamagic Scroll) that works like metamagic item, except it only allows +2 or lesser metamagic effects to be applied, which works on spell completion items.

I thought a scroll was a valid target for at least one of the artificer's metamagic abilities...? Being a Spell Completion Item?

Yeah, but he doesn't get Metamagic Spell Completion until 11th level, which isn't really helpful for those early levels you're concerned with.

What about the Metamagic Scroll Infusion, from Magic of Eberron?

Not a book I have available to me, so I wouldn't know.  If it exists, and it works, sounds good.

So I guess I need to spend most of my WBL on one of those infinite scrollcases and as many scrolls as I can make with my level 1,2,3 craft reserve.  What feats do I get other than Darkstalker? Should I be something other than a Whisper Gnome? How about a Strongheart Halfling?  What feat do I need other than Darkstalker, at this point?  And anyone have good ideas on what some great scrolls to get are?

Maybe Changeling Able Learner Darkstalker, get a bunch of cross class skills?

How do you get H/MS as class skills? DMG II Apprentice Criminal? Does that get one or both? *Checks* ... Neither...

Okay, I found a feat to do it form Rokugan.  Now I just need a WHOLE MESS of scrolls, which are makeable at levels 1,2,3...

Guerilla Warrior is an option. It doesn't make H/MS class skills but it makes them cost only 1 skill point to take as cross class skills (up to normal 1/2 max ranks for cross class skills).
It always seems like the barrels around here have something in them.
