Various questions and corrections


Magic Items


Here’s a few things I noticed during my read through of the core book. I understand I may have misinterpreted some things and would appreciate any corrections.

Page 357

Are the additional crafting requirements for a snare considered to be part of the base price for crafting one? For example, are the three vials of alchemists fire included in the price of crafting the snare or must they be supplied as an additional cost?

Page 371

Under the potency runes it lists that in order to have a higher numbered bonus you must first have the lower one etched. How does this work when creating characters above a certain level? For example if I make a 20th level character it lists I get one 19th level item as part of character creation, if I were to choose a +5 armor potency rune as my 19th level item would I also have to pay for the previous upgrades of +1-4 from my 20,000 gp or it it just assumed that they are paid for as part of getting the 19th level item for free?

Moreover, on page 397 it lists a suit of legendary +5 armor as a level 19 item. Could a 20th level character get this as their free 19th level item without paying extra for the legendary craftsmanship or the previous (1-4) runes?

Page 392

It’s not explicitly stated that gloves of storing cannot contain an unlimited amount of items at any one time. It simply mentions that you can activate them to store an item you’re currently holding and says nothing about a limit or not being able to do it again if you grasp another item. Are they intended to allow for the storage of an unlimited number of items?

Also Mail of Luck needs the reaction symbol instead of the free action symbol. As does mending lattice. Unless this is intentional...though if there’s a trigger condition it has to be a reaction doesn’t it? There are honestly a lot of items like this, I think all items might need a second look through if this was indeed overlooked.

Page 404 (error found)

Does each operate action from ring of ram (if you use multiple in the same turn) cost a resonance point each? So if you decide to use three in one turn it will cost 3 RP?


for the later point of you page 392, free actions have the same rules for triggers as reactions, and can be used out of turn as appropriate.(pg 7)
