The thing is, I hate sitting emoting that I scribble a note of some sort, and then have to go to the scribe to have him write it.

So I had a thought about if an inkwell and quill items could be made, and that one of them would have a unique power which launches a conversation similar to the Scribe's. If we say the quill has the unique power, then you also cannot write if you don't have an inkwell and an empty parchemnt in your inventory.

Of course, the ink in a single inkwell might only be enough for writing one or two notes, and depending on the quality of the quill, there might be a 5%, 10% or 50% (Or similar) risk that it breaks.

I really, really like this idea! I've no idea how hard it would be to script though. Or even if it's possible.

Don't think it should be that hard. Just have the quill's unique effect to be ActionStartConversation and use a slightly modified version of the scribe conversation.

TextAppearsWhen-->Have Item in Inventory --> Parchment, and Inkwell.

ActionsTaken on the "Done" part of the conversation, which makes the note (just as the scribe) and has parts like these added:

1. For inkwell with two uses: int iInkwell++; If iInkwell==2 then DestroyObjectOnObject([Tag of inkwell], oPc);

2. Break Quill: If d100<10 then DestroyObject (OBJECT_SELF);

Or something like that, I think.

This could be an interesting idea. I'd like to see it, even if it's only trialed.

Well, it's not quite that easy (there are some complications involved in how the script picks up what you're saying).

However, this is indeed on my list of scribing improvements, along with titles, letters, and seals.
