Implosive Arrows


Advice


Im currently playing a 3.5/Pathfinder game and looking to imbue my arrows with the Implosion spell. All books given reference are allowed and currently in game money is not an issue(230k pp). Item creation is well,simple for me(dont ask how i get a +76 on my craft check). The dm is very lenient as long as we give a decent explanation as well as pay the necessary costs. Currently im 2 Rogue/4 Alchemist so taking other classes is a bit out of the question.


i don't know much about 3.5 but the only pathfinder way to get a spell on an arrow are class abilities..Also don't know much about that spell

Arcane Archer's higher level ability, eldritch knight's max level, and magus's archetype's ability.

Outside of that I don't think there are any pathfinder abilities that would do what you want. So I guess some 3.5 peeps will have to chime in.


oh.. I competely forgot it. but there is also spell storing.. Maybe you can put that on the bow and have it activate when you crit. (not sure how it works on ranged items, might ahve to stick it on arrows in which thats way too costy/one use).
I can't find that spell your talking about but spellstoring is 3rd level or lower only.

Its a 9th Level Cleric spell in the Destruction Domain as far as i can tell. And as far as how many I need I only need one. I have a quiver that automatically duplicates any arrow i put in it.

You're so out of the realm of Pathfinder that I don't believe we can help you.

You're level 6, have at least 230,000 gold (though you say pp, which would actually be 2.3 million gold), have a quiver that replicates arrows including magical effects (nothing in Pathfinder does that), and you have an insane crafting score with the additional statement of "don't ask". You're so far into houserule territory you should probably just ask your GM.

Not to mention, where the hell are you going to get access to a 9th level cleric spell as a 6th level character (and presumably part of a 6th level party)? Normally there aren't 17th level clerics just wondering around.

Well i suppose some answers are in order. Im in a Spelljammer campaign. the money was from when we were in an area that only dealt in pp and my character being able to brew potions of Cats Grace +6 and selling them for 2 years in this area got me aproximately 230,000pp, and i made the least out of our party. As for the craft score my DM had me roll each individual piece of my Alchemist Lab seperate. 11 items and they all give me a +5 plus any other bonuses from ranks/ability score/etc. The quiver i had to make myself and cost 50,000pp plus some experience.

Like i said the money and finding the people to do it arent the problem. My issue is figuring out how exactly to go about doing it. I spoke to my DM and said my quiver cant do that. He instead suggested Spheres of Annihilation. So my new question is how would i go about putting them on my arrows to activate when they hit, or is there something else i could put on my arrows to give them the same effect. I like the idea of my arrows making someone collapse in on themselves.

Also you say normally there arent 17th Level Clerics walking around,but,Spelljammer campaign.

And just for the record, the cost of the spelljammer were making will more than likely wipe us all out.


There isn't anything to stick that high of a spell on an arrow that I know of in core, still paizo but not core stuff, and in 3rd party.

You're pretty much going to need to homebrew with your GM about it. It sounds very much like a specific weapon enchantment..
Check into the creation of magic items, there are rules for "one use items" that might fall close ish to what you want.

That is pretty much the best ya can hope for; as far as i know

I actually have the Craft Wondrous Item feat. If anyone else is looking for this i actually found a weapon enhancement for this. It lets you imbue a weapon with a spell. Each level of the spell counts as a +1 enhancement. A Lv 9 spell is a +10 Weapon. Unfortunately I lost the page. If i find it ill post it.

Found. Needs to be a touch spell. I suppose i should have stated 3.5e was allowed within reason. Its actually where i got my bow be it at 5x the price.
