D&D 3E/3.5 D&D 3.5 scribe scroll with a spell XP cost

[Oryan77]

I'm not very familiar with item creation and I just need a quick answer to this.

Most 1st lvl divine scrolls cost 25gp in the DMG. If a first level divine spell has a 25 XP cost (no material component) to cast the spell, how much would that raise the price of a scroll if a scroll was made for that spell? Assume it is made at the lowest caster level.

What about an 8th lvl divine scroll with a 250 XP cost to cast the spell?

What about an 8th lvl divine scroll with a 1250 XP cost to cast the spell?

An NPC will be selling these scrolls along with the standard scrolls from the DMG.

It lists it in the book.
5 gp per extra XP cost added to buying price.

So it cost 12.5 gp and 26 XP to make that 1st lv scroll.
But it cost 137.5 gp to buy that 1st lv scroll (this is why wish scroll is so expensive due to XP cost).

In addition, some items cast or replicate spells with costly material components or with XP components. For these items, the market price equals the base price plus an extra price for the spell component costs. Each XP in the component costs adds 5 gp to the market price. The cost to create these items is the magic supplies cost and the base XP cost (both determined by the base price) plus the costs for the components. Descriptions of these items include an entry that gives the total cost of creating the item.

What about an 8th lvl divine scroll with a 250 XP cost to cast the spell?

Buying price:
8 x 15x25= 3000 + 1250 (250= Xp cost)= 4, 250 gp.

8 x 15x25= 3000 + 6250 (1250= Xp cost)= 9, 250 gp.

One of my unwritten houserules is allowing scrolls and wands to me made without the xp cost or an expensive focus included in the price. And then whoever uses the scroll or wand pays it himself each time. In the case of Use Magic Device, I'd require them to pay the xp or buy the expensive focus, too.

Because, seriously. Some low level spells have rather expensive foci for the level you'll mostly be using them (with the assumption that as a spell you only have to buy the focus once), and it's asinine to expect a character to have to pay for that focus every single time he wants to use it in item form.

Pathfinder just got rid of the XP costs. Thats my preferred way of doing things. The money shouldn't be trivial - if it is there's more broken than magic items.

And it never made sense to me that creation should cost erase learning and experience - should be the other way around.
