I said yesterday that I wouldn't change the scribing spell rules for Wizards for my swashbuckler campaign. However, I have since realised that I'm reducing the amount of money available to PCs. By doing one but not the other, I'm effectively penalising Wizards, since a lot of their wealth at present must go to scribing costs, and reducing the available wealth merely increases the proportion that must be spent. That being the case, I've changed my mind somewhat: scribing costs should be reduced by the same proportion as the wealth-by-level values are decreased.
Incidentally, I'm leaning towards the viewpoint that a reduction in wealth-by-level to about a third of the current values is about right. However, that's a matter of instinct, and not backed up by any analysis at all.
