Re: Casting time of missile spell scrolls
They are. But if an expendable item costing $500 let me shave a second off casting time (with some additional restrictions regarding free hands), I wouldn’t exactly spam it all day.
That said, I’m seriously surprised by Kromm’s call on this. It’s impressively consistent (I’m not sure any other solution quite works), but rather out of left field. The man knows his GURPS!

Re: Casting time of missile spell scrolls
I don't know, I think "charged scrolls provide energy for casting only, up to 6d" was more consistent, but YMMV.

Re: Casting time of missile spell scrolls
P.S. And thanks everybody else here for contributing to the discussion. It took some back and forth to clarify the issues.

But I'm not worried about $650 items being better than native potential. A $650 katana is considerably better than fists – more damage, better damage type, more reach – and it works infinite times. At some point, artifacts let people outdo unassisted rivals in any field of endeavor.

A tool using species has overrun this planet, after all :)

Re: Casting time of missile spell scrolls
To be clear, I wasn't complaining, just pointing it out.
