Contract Permit: Scriptorium

Bastion Facility

A Scriptorium is a dedicated space within your Bastion, filled with desks and writing materials. It allows the creation of books, pamphlets, or magical scrolls. Whether for documenting knowledge, spreading information, or preparing arcane magic, the Scriptorium is an invaluable resource for crafting the written word.

Item Type: Facility Permit
Level: 9 Bastion Facility
Prerequisite: None
Space: Roomy

Benefits:

When you issue the Craft order to this facility, choose one of the following options:

  • Craft: Book Replica
    The hireling in the Scriptorium will create an exact copy of a nonmagical book you possess. You must provide a blank book, and the process takes 7 days.

  • Craft: Paperwork
    You can have the Scriptorium produce up to fifty copies of a broadsheet, pamphlet, or other loose-leaf paper products. The work takes 7 days and costs 1 GP per copy. At no additional cost, the hireling can distribute the paperwork to one or more locations within 10 miles of your Bastion.

  • Craft: Scroll
    The Scriptorium’s hireling can craft a magic scroll (as described in the Dungeon Master’s Guide), or you may create it yourself. In the case of a Spell Scroll, the spell must be one you can prepare. The work takes 7 days, and the cost depends on the scroll’s rarity. The crafting cost and required minimum level are detailed in the Craft Scroll table.
