The goal here being giving players in a high magic campaign an opportunity to craft helpful items for themselves and others. Suggestions for other types of crafting and other opinions are welcom.Scribe Scroll- (Requires Ritual Casting as a class feature) You can create a scroll for a spell you are capable of casting. The cost to create a scroll is 100gp per spell level+the cost of any component used in the spell. Characters with this feat can craft spellbooks for half their normal cost.


Craft Wand/Staff- (Requires spell casting as a class feature) You can create a wand of a spell you can cast. The initial cost to create a wand is 1000gp per spell level plus 500 per charge maximum + The cost of the spell’s material component x maximum charge.

For example, a wand of Shield with a maximum of 10 charges would cost 6000gp.

Wands gain a default of 1d4 charges (to maximum) at each dawn.

further recharge die steps cost more to create:

1d6- 5000gp
1d8- 15000gp
1d10-30000

So, wait. Is this "you can craft X as an action"?

I assume it must be, because otherwise the feats don't give you anything you couldn't already do. If it is, well... I still wonder if that's really worth a feat. If you've got that kind if cash on hand and your DM is willing to let you short-cut the crafting rules, why wouldn't they let you just buy the items in a shop? It's functionally the same.

Surely a feat is too high a price for 'the power to buy scrolls when there are no shops nearby'?

If you are using those optional rules for magic item creation in the DMG.

How long does it take to make a wand or scroll? It should probably go up by spell level, at least for the wand. Maybe something like 'It takes 1d6 days per spell level to create a wand.'
