GM allowed me to move around a few things on my bard to better fit the overall group, so I would like to buy a masterwork Composite longbow +0 str.
Most common items are readily available at market prices. I wont make people roll play shopping unless you want to head to a shop for information or some other reason.
Once you guys get it worked out just let me know and I will let you know if anything isnt available. Either can can each put into the loot sheet or I can.
So we've got what, 1300 gold each to spend? If I'm reading the sheet and dividing right.
Uronzeer the holy symbol had been sold at a previous stop in the town. If there is a number in the "Sale Value" column that means it has been sold.
Divided there would be 1348 each.
I added an additional formula showing what you would have per person. if you want to divide it up I will add a transaction for 1348 each and you can track the gold individually. The loot sheet is handy for totaling and tracking before gold division.
You can also take out any items of common good, such as the wand of CLW that was purchased, and then divide the loot.
I suppose we could sell off some of the technology to Sanvil if we need more cash, but I don't trust him yet. Still, like the armor - if no one is planning to use it, we could sell it.
James is scooping up all of the guns and batteries, so he really doesn't deserve an equal share of the cash. That said, he does also have two "broken" pistols that it would be nice to make masterwork for 300 each, and some extra ammo would be nice.
I would also suggest we move the medilance and hypogun to the wand, CLW status. We don't have the medicines identified yet, but I suspect they will help with healing, disease or other maladies.
GM - Can James spend some time upgrading his pistols and identifying some of these unknowns? Or will that take too long?
I believe the gunslinger can only upgrade thier own battered gun for 300 gp to masterwork. Anything els I think you need a masterwork transformation cast on it, depending on how GM looks upon it.
On the armor, I think I missed what that was exactly.
Yes, sorry - battered was the word I was looking for. James has 2 - one from becoming a gunslinger, and one from steel hound level 2 (just acquired).
Neoplast Armor - Uses batteries for power to change color. +2AC / Max Dex +8 One battery gives it 24 color changes. When a charge is used the wearer gains +3 competence bonus to stealth checks.
I still have a couple of spells to pick, and will update Elkin's sheet online tonight, when that's done. I always overthink spells, which makes it take too long, haha. If anyone has any requests, let me know, and you can help guide my hand.
He just gained an ability to grant the "shocking" ability to a weapon 4/day. Each use of the ability will last 1 round currently, but that will go up as he continues to level. I really have no designs to put Elkin in combat, so if anyone feels like they would want this boon from Elkin at any point, let me know. Interested to hear your thoughts on the mechanics of doing that in combat, too.
Took a look at some spells to defeat hardness, and there's a 3rd level spell that will allow Elkin to make all of our weapons adamantine for short periods of time. So, not quite yet, but it's on the horizon.
RE Gear & Gold:
The current gold that is available is only the items that have been sold (red column) and those that have been sold so none of the tech items are in that pool.
Guns and Technology
Yes you can upgrade a battered gun but these are technically a little different, they are "timeworn". Basically they have a chance of failure under certain conditions such as rolling a 1. A Timeworn items can be made masterwork but it will still have the Timeworn condition. Since the Timeworn condition persists I will allow you to work on them as you would other firearms.
What would it cost to get someone to cast Masterwork Transformation? Wouldn't mind having that on my dorn-dergar, at least.
Masterwork Transformation is a 2nd level spell that requires a 3rd level caster, so:
You convert a non-masterwork item into its masterwork equivalent. A normal sword becomes a masterwork sword, a suit of leather armor becomes a masterwork suit of leather armor, a set of thieves’ tools becomes masterwork thieves’ tools, and so on. If the target object has no masterwork equivalent, the spell has no effect. You can affect 50 pieces of ammunition as if they were one weapon. You decide if the object’s appearance changes to reflect this improved quality.
The material component for the spell is magical reagents worth the cost difference between a normal item and the equivalent masterwork item (typically 300 gp for a weapon, 150 gp for armor, or 50 gp for a tool). If an object has multiple masterwork options (such as a double weapon, or a spiked shield that could be made masterwork as a weapon or armor), you choose one option of the object to affect (though you can cast the spell again to affect another option).
If I can find a scroll or a wizard book with Masterwork Transformation in it, I can write it into my spell book and then cast it. Otherwise I'd need to wait to level 4 to get it for free in my spell book.
There is a single Masterwork Transformation scroll available in torch from the cleric. 10% off list price.
As far as my thoughts as a GM on the spell. It is one of the spells that I watch pretty closely as it is one of the ways a caster can "break the world" so to speak. That said buy it do what you need with it but try not to abuse it.
Just like a group of seven in an AP designed for a group of 4 necessitates some added difficulty on encounters everyone suddenly having masterwork items does the same thing.
It seems to me that, given that the spell still requires you to pay the masterwork cost of the item, it shouldn't unbalance things. Even if we were to upgrade all of our gear, it would still cost us 300/weapon and 150/armor.
Fair enough.
So shopping?
Rest?
Head back immediately?
[u] Remember to update your stats on the stat page of the maps. If I roll with the old numbers it stands that turn. [/u]
Elkin is completely leveled up now. He's going to be interested in doing some shopping; I'm fine doing that off-screen. What was the final decision regarding an adamantine weapon? That may impact the division of gold if we purchase that first.
I need to go and quick buy a bow, I guess we each take 1000gp and puts the rest in the party pool for now?
No one has agreed to get an adamantine weapon I would have thought one for Uronzeer or Ivar would help the party when we meet other robots.
Then I say we rest and head back
Like I said, I can treat my weapons as adamantine for 3 rounds/day. As long as I use it sparingly, I'll be alright.
How do we want to handle the price of the scroll? Ivar will buy it for Vedia if need be, but if others want to chip in I wouldn't object.
If Ivar doesn't need it, and Uronzeer doesn't want it, should we postpone this and just split the gold? Elkin is 2 levels away from a spell that will be able to make the whole party's weapons adamantine (or cold iron, silver, etc.) so this may have been a short-term solution anyway.
And we *did* defeat the high-hardness construct without any adamantine weapons.
I vote to buy the Masterwork Transformation scroll out of party funds, not buy any adamantine weapons, and split the remaining gold for personal purchases.
What spell is it that helps you to bypass different materials?
Edit: I can see versatile weapon but that one only bypasses: bludgeoning, cold iron, piercing, silver, or slashing.
Adamantine bypasses both DR adamantine and hardness up untill 20 so I can't see what we shouldn't have one with an adamantine weapon.
Heart of the Metal works on 1 weapon per level. As a 3rd level spell, Elkin will be 5th level, able to apply it to 5 weapons.
You lend the nature of adamantine, cold iron, or silver, depending on which component you used, to the targeted weapons, with the following effects:
Adamantine: The weapons overcome DR/adamantine and ignore hardness less than 20.
Cold Iron: The weapons overcome DR/cold iron.
Silver: The weapons overcome DR/silver.No other advantages or disadvantages of these metal types apply. For example, a weapon given the nature of adamantine is not automatically masterwork.
This is able to affect nonmetal weapons. If you grant the target weapons the property of cold iron, the spell lasts half as long as normal.
Ah cool, that should cover all the melee easily
Me too. I need to shop for some spells. Is there a wizard in town I can rent a spell book from for a day?
I agree on the scroll + cash approach.
James would like to spend 300 on each of his battered pistols to make them masterwork. And he can make adamantine bullets for 6.1 gp each, so 20 of those for 122 gold.
That adds up to 822 gp total. But are we concerned about timing?
The scroll costs 150 gp (2nd level spell) - 10% = 135 gp. I'll add that to the loot sheet. It looks like that leaves a distribution of 1326 gp each.
Val - The only one with a spell book in town would be Khonnir though I am sure neither he nor Val would mind you going over it. Of course that means I will need to roll up a spell book for him. I will do that during the day today.
[u] Loot Sheet [/u]
The sheet should be editable by any of you so feel free to add the basic items you want and what not. Everything you have mentioned would be available.
I can find no reason why Val and Khonnir would not let you go though his book so here is what he has.
Khonnir Bain Spellbook:
Burning Hands
Jump
Identify
Mage Armor
Mount
Ray of Sickness
Silent Image
Elemental Touch
Fire Breath
Resist Energy
Web
Fireball
Elemental Aura
I just added the scroll to the loot sheet for Purchases now that I have edit access to the loot sheet. My calculation last night was just a little off. The actual distribution is 1328.86 gold per person.
Bang Grenades are a pretty rare teck and unlikely to be for sale BUT you guys do have to in your inventory at the moment that have not been sold so it is just about who is carrying them.
I marked your name next to them for now.
Elkin will buy a wand of mage armor if one can be found.
I was sick last night and today was a super busy one. I'll get updated and post tomorrow. Sorry for any delays.
Yes, the wand is available from Joram.
Tomorrow afternoon I am heading out of town for my sisters wedding and then a trip to Nashville for work. Wednesday afternoon till Sunday my internet will be spotty at best as I will be on the family farm.
I will post as I can.
I took 1200 gp and left some of my share in the group pool.
Uronzeer - Nothing is recorded as a debit for you yet. The biggest thing is simply entering items purchased or gold taken for personal use / wealth in the red columns where other transactions have been entered.
If you overdraw at some point you can just change the amount you had entered.
Items like the grenades you said you wanted to carry do not affect the total gold as they were never sold.
No one is going to say much about a down on his luck gambler getting killed in a seedy casino.
My next post was going to describe him pathetically whimpering on the ground and trying to crawl out the door. Did not expect him to be one shotted.
Augar, I hope it's nothing too serious! Either way, you have my wishes for a best-possible outcome. Good luck.
Agreed. Our well wishes are with you.
Take care of yourself Augar. I hope it's nothing too serious.
