Hey,
Novice judge here reading about the creation of magic scrolls, and I'm curious about everyone's interpretation of the text.

1. Page 354 and 373 says clerics and wizards can both use Write Magic, but the spell doesn't appear on the cleric list. Is this a typo? Or am I reading it incorrectly?

2. Write Magic allows for multiple spells to be written to a single scroll("the caster can transcribe one level 5 spell or six spells of levels 1, 2, 3, or 4. Additionally the caster can transcribe the scroll..."). When the scroll is read, are these spells occurring simultaneously(with separate spell checks or a single check?)? Or is it giving the scroll "charges" that can be used once per spell?

3. How are your players using this spell at the table? Wizards writing scrolls for clerics and elves to use? Spellburning to allow for non-magic classes to cast high-level spells?

Thanks!

There are a few spells like this that omit info. Charm person has for every spell check result the effect stating the target cannot self harm except for 32+. Is 32+ supposed to be interpreted as you now dominate the people rather than charm? Or is the self harm aspect supposed to be implied and just left out to save room?

This is probably the strangest little RPG supplement I've made so far, and one I'm particularly proud of.

The Ratcatchers of Spittle-Fields started with two things: an ongoing campaign where rats seem to be absolutely everywhere and the only friendly NPC we've encountered so far was a ratcatcher, and my love for the strange failed careers of Into the Odd and Electric Bastionland. Of course, that trail eventually led back to the legendary Ratcatcher career from Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay.

So I started wondering: what if ratcatchers weren't just people who killed rats?

The result is a DCC-inspired supplement about the ratcatchers of a grim Victorian-style city, including:

16 unusual breeds of rats

Ratcatcher occupations and advancement

A secret society guarding the mysteries beneath the city

Two versions of the dreaded Rat King

Oswald Fink, Spittle-Fields' most famous ratcatcher

Adventure hooks, rumors, omens, and optional rules

It's Pay What You Want on itch, so if this sounds like something you'd enjoy, I'd love for you to give it a look.

And if you download it and use anything from it at your table, I'd genuinely love to hear what happens.
