Hadn't thought about that....
HP for new level:
...Not sure if 2 on 1d8 is low enough to mandate the reroll. Network? What do you say?
@LS - Sure, you can reroll.
@All - Is everyone leveled up and ready to go? You can post your waking up rp, and/or I just need a thumbs up when you're ready to head out (to the center of town, I presume...)
HP for new level:
Eh, it's not like Ianez is a standup melee fighter. I think he's leveled up.
Sorry to be a bit behind - just working out the last details.
Didn't see activity during the break... thought we were gonna level up after. :(
You have my thumbs up, Network. La Siréene is awake. Anyone want items to have been crafted by her, we could add in that retroactively. We're allways behind on what should have been crafted and leveled:P
Let me remind people that cloak of Resistance +3 costs only 4500 whole, 2500 to make that +2 a +3.
Also: GOD it feels nice to be writting again. Been looking forward to this.
So - level up, buy gear, wake up and then learn spells?
So - level up, buy gear, wake up and then learn spells?
Indeed, friend. 5th level spells to choose, 13000 gold pieces to spend!
The cost of a +2 weapon (+1 and Shock ability) is 8000. The cost of a +3 is 18000. The difference is 10,000 gp. What would it cost for La Sireene or Caromarc to add undead bane to the bow?
4750, for Caromarc. La Siréene can't craft magic weapons.
Pretty much done, just thinking on the 13000gp.
Along those lines, I have a question for the group: how much of the following do we have the ability to craft:
- magic breastplate (+1 to +2)
- cloak of resistance (+1 to +2 or 3)
- belt of strength/physical might
- ring of protection
- wand of cure moderate wounds
?
At the moment the big C has the ability to do weapons & wondrous.
Rings and wands are out though.
I'm torn about whether to get possess object. The ability to animate some giant stone or metal construct is awesome... not sure how it fits the game though.
I'm playing around with the idea of upgrading the mind-chain. +12000*2(slotless)*.45 = +10800.
Expensive, but might be worth it to go from +6 to +7 int. Means an additional spell level and better DR.
We okay to get stuff from UE?
Yes.
How do you feel about giant constructs using possess object? Me and/or Elspeth.
Ok. I have some gold that was not used in previous level up and now we get a 13000 boost. I'd like that bow upgrade to include Bane against Undead.
What about the Headband of Inspired Wisdom increase from +2 to +4 or +6?
Magical arrows that explode into a fireball or other spell effect?
Maybe have an item that does something out of the ordinary for someone like Quinn. Any suggestions?
Looking at Dimensional Agility. Pity it only applies to *casting* or I'd take it in a heartbeat (imagine shift with this!)
@Caromarc - Dimensional agility I don't have a problem with. re Giant construct...this is something apart from MM?...I'm not sure...(you ?) (Elspeth ??)
@Quinn - All of your suggestions sound useful.
Possess object is like magic jar combined with animate object. You put your soul in a statue (or whatever) and then it runs around hitting people.
You can't talk or cast while doing it though.
Like having a Mecha.
This is all very interesting.
Here's something else: do we expect to face enough undead that I should take Halt Undead as my new 3d-level spell instead of Heroism?
Ianez took good hope, which looks to be a better buff than heroism (though heroism lasts longer) and doesn't stack with it. Even though halt undead only stops up to three targets, it's still a reasonable area control spell.
ETA: Given your teamwork feats, coordinated effort might not be a bad idea. Or arcane sight.
Good point. I also noticed you have dispel magic, so I planned not to take that one - no reason not to have all this spellcasting be complementary. Maybe I will take halt undead then, just in case we face off against more zombies, wighhts, etc.
As for the teamwork feat, I had been thinking of lookout, but maybe I will take another look.
@Caromarc - I don't see a problem with it then. Mecha...pretty cool!
@Blackacre - halt undead would come in handy.
@All - Would it be ok to finish leveling up this week, and set Monday as the date to pick up the adventure?
@Ianez: Derr, clearly I misinterpreted your post. That's what I get for doing this in a meeting. I had looked @ coordinated effort before, but I'm liking it more now that I look at it again.
@Network: hint taken. And Monday sounds great to me.
@La Sireene: What is the cost to go from +1 to +3 Cloak of resistance?
Cost of Headband of Inspired Wisdom increase from +2 to +4 (or +6)?
Would it be possible to remove the Mage Armor from Quinn's necklace and make his Bracers of Defense to +6?
4750 gp to add Undead Bane.
Cloak: 4000, 3800 if crafted by Caromarc.
Headband: 6000, 5700 if crafted by Caromarc.
While it is possible to craft Bracers of Armor to +6, it can’t give more than +5 AC. That would just be the total enchantment bonus; it would have to be, for instance, +5 AC, Light Fortification.
Mechanically, I'd say no, you'd sell the necklace and get a new divine focus of Erastil.
But, then again, since there is no mechanical difference to disenchanting the magic effect from the necklace for magic particles or whathaveyou, and selling it and getting an identical one? Let’s say it’s possible to remove the Mage Armor.
@Network.- Sure!
@Network: Monday sounds good! Rereading... did you say that you were okay with Dimensional Agility applying to dimension-door-like effects?
So friends...
Can our crafters verify that the following are craftable and that the adjusted prices I have given are accurate (given that I have a high degree of confidence in the regular prices)?
Cloak of Resistance (upgrade from +1 to +3)...4000gp [regular price 8k]
Ring of Protection............................1000gp [regular price 2k]
Upgrade Str +2 belt to +2 Str / +2 Dex........3000gp [regular price 6k]
After that, I will most likely buy a wand of cure moderate wounds, but have not entirely ruled out the sword upgrade.
@LaSireen - Sorry I meant Bracers of Armor which can go up to +8.
These items appear to be wrist or arm guards, sometimes etched with symbols of protection or depictions of vigilant-looking animals.
Bracers of armor surround the wearer with an invisible but tangible field of force, granting him an armor bonus of +1 to +8, just as though he were wearing armor. Both bracers must be worn for the magic to be effective.
Alternatively, bracers of armor can be enchanted with armor special abilities. See Table: Armor Special Qualities for a list of abilities. Special abilities usually count as additional bonuses for determining the market value of an item, but do not improve AC. Bracers of armor cannot have a modified bonus (armor bonus plus armor special ability bonus equivalents) higher than +8. Bracers of armor must have at least a +1 armor bonus to grant an armor special ability. Bracers of armor cannot have any armor special abilities that add a flat gp amount to their cost. Bracers of armor and ordinary armor do not stack. If a creature receives a larger armor bonus from another source, the bracers of armor cease functioning and do not grant their armor bonus or their armor special abilities. If the bracers of armor grant a larger armor bonus, the other source of armor ceases functioning.
@Caromarc - Yes.
New concept art added.
I am the troublesome child, aren't I.
Okay - I held off boosting MM this time... not sure if that was wise.
I'm interested in getting an Eldritch Tome - specifically Grandfather's Legacy. Not sure how much I need the spells, but it seems like a great Lovecraftian tome. If it can be a collection of a few books that happen to have spells, so much the better.
The book is 7635.
I can't work out if you have to scribe the spells from the preconstructed spellbooks or not... you can definitely prepare from it, but possibly have to have scribed the spells first. By my calculations it would cost 3540 to scribe all the spells Caromarc could cast. I'm prepared to pay that much *not* to have to scribe them :) To scribe them all (6th and 7ths) is about the cost of the spellbook again, which I don't have.
Assuming I do need to pay for scribing that should leave about 1825 left.
Is it okay to get the book? Should I pay for scribing?
Adding "Vicious" quality to Cutlass... 10K
Ring of Feather Fall 2.2K
Feather Token, Whip 0.5K
Giving up Ring of Sustenance... for assorted Infusions/Potions.
Bow upgrade +3 (Undead Bane): 4750 by Caromarc
Cloak of Resistance upgrade to +3: 4000 crafted by LaSireene, 3800 if crafted by Caromarc.
Headband: 6000 crafted by LaSireene, 5700 if crafted by Caromarc.
Need the cost of upgrading Bracers of Armor +2 to +6. Will be getting rid of Amulet of Mage Armor.
I'm thinking of going for offense with the last part of my purchase. That leaves Gaston Blackacre's upgrades as follows:
Only just able to do the cloak. Sword should be okay. Think belt is okay. Can't do the ring.
Sorry Folks... procrastination... TAXES!
Can Caromarc enchant Ianez' mw bow to +2?
Okay
Book (I know I can't use it all yet) 7635
Pearl of power L2 (4000 base) 1800
Pearl of power L2 (4000 base) 1800
Pearl of power L1 (1000 base) 450
Pearl of power L1 (1000 base) 450
Pearl of power L1 (1000 base) 450
Mind Jar Onyx Gem inset in book 100
315 gold in onyx gems
When we give something up... are we counting as full retail (because of WBL)?
Not to be a jerk but I'd prefer we fudge crafting issues rather than postpone starting chapter 4. We need a hard deadline. Please be ready to start for gameplay by Wednesday (even if you're not fully done crafting, that won't matter for the first part so we can figure that out in the discussion thread as we go).
Sorry! I'm okay now, just need HP.
I've posted... I'm starting to wonder if I should check for approval first. I'll delete it if I can and if it is a problem
While the implication is that Caromarc talked to a dark future version of himself, it's also possible the books are Nym's, and that the passphrase also changes the handwriting (to make it easier for the inheritor of the legacy to use it). I can think of a number of ways Nym could have gotten the books to Jornel.
Only just able to do the cloak. Sword should be okay. Think belt is okay. Can't do the ring.
Excellent - thanks. Can La Sireene do the ring? If not, I can look for some other cool use of a thousand gold.
