Scribe Fees (SNS)

__TOC__
Scribes do not lend people their services out of the goodness of their hearts. They expect to get paid like any other professional. Consult Table 26: Scribing Fees to find out the basic service fees of a scribe. Note that these prices can fluctuate greatly depending on the market forces and the scribe's own personal situation.
For instance, a 1st-level scribe without a reputation might only receive half of what a more experienced scribe commands for the same job. This is the incentive he offers his clients to attract their business away from﻿ other well-known scribes in the city.
Similarly, high-level scribes can command higher prices for their services. These professionals have established an excellent reputation, and many people are willing to pay more for that.
Some scribes work for a salary. Usually they receive 5 gp per level per week. Sometimes scribes will band together (usually under a high-level scribe upon whose reputation they trade) to form a scribing business. Any extra money left over after salaries covers the business' overhead (the building, paper, pens, inks, candles, and so on).
