2024 PHB and DMG bugs reports

[ddavison]

The costs in silver should be correct because it adds the cost of a quarterstaff, which is 2 sp. that means the cost can’t be shown in gp without resorting to fractional coins.

The spell scrolls in the DMG were assigned a rarity and the value comes from the rarity. I can ask them if the PHB scroll values should take precedence or the new DMG rarities should be used since it is a newer book.

This is the exact text from the DMG:

"*Halve the value for a consumable item other than a Spell Scroll. The value of a Spell Scroll is double what it costs to scribe the scroll (as specified in the Player's Handbook)."

I noticed that the costs of all the spell scrolls in the 2024 DMG are off. Per the table "Magic Item Rarities and Values" in the DMG (chapter 7), the cost of a spell scroll should be x2 the cost of scribing them, as listed in the Player's Handbook. So they should be as follows:

• Cantrip scroll: 30gp
• Level 1 scroll: 50gp
• Level 2 scroll: 200gp
• Level 3 scroll: 300gp
• Level 4 scroll: 2,000gp
• Level 5 scroll: 3,000gp
• Level 6 scroll: 20,000gp
• Level 7 scroll: 25,000gp
• Level 8 scroll: 30,000gp
• Level 9 scroll: 100,000gp

Also, this isn't technically a bug, but I really appreciated that the previous DMG had a separate scroll item for every possible spell. I realize that this would be quite time consuming to create.

And one other bug: the generic ioun stone item has a comma after "Wondrous Item" in the Type field, so this shows up as a separate category in the dropdown menu.

Sorry, late in seeing this. I'm actually going through the DMG at the moment and correcting things. You are correct about the scroll value and I've already adjusted those as well as the values for consumables which were also wrong. I also noted the extraneous comma. I'm hoping to finish my review this week and get the amended DMG up for release next Tuesday.

You can now make your own scrolls via the item forge. Add a scroll to the Base Item and then drag in an appropriate spell and when you click on Forge new item it will create the spell scroll with that spell.

Right, so that explains why javelins, slings, clubs, greatclubs, and darts all had a value in either copper, silver, or electrum pieces. I pretty much 'fixed' all of these by converting those values into gp

The OP is correct about the spell scrolls value, and consumables are also half the value of the rarity shown so I corrected those as well. As he mentions this is noted in the DMG in the Magic Items value section.
