Well...I can't use any metal armor. So the amulet of Natural armor or the Ring of Force Shield would be helpful. The amulet should work when I'm transformed as an animal too.
The Maximize rod would be cool too, but that should be limited to our wizard in reality for maximum spell damage output. I may borrow it once in a while out of combat for some guaranteed healing spell effects...or similar maybe.
The Vestment only works with Spontaneous spellcasters. I have a racial spell-like ability but I don't think that counts. Sell it unless someone is holding out on us, or plans to cross class? The bow and arrows are awesome, but pretty much useless unless Pavo or Wil can use them...I think?
The Transformative sword is great for anybody. So which of the big melee people want to use it? I'm too small for it to be effective anyway. Pavo could use it as a trident. Leng could make it into a Kukri. Wilfried could turn it into a Spear or a Spiked Gauntlet I think too.
I think our Wil would excel in the Full Plate. Not to mention he can make it look like anything he wants! Such a cool item.
If I wanted to be really cheesy I could dip cross-blooded sorcerer to add double my level to damage with one elemental type, but that's a little too munchkin for me.
The +1 glamered full plate seems right of Wil. The transforming sword is also very nice. Although with Sacred weapon I already have a +1 weapon that will scale up. I have a crossbow but I can use a bow, especially a magic one.
I'm going to officially ask for the Amulet of Nat Armor +2 and the Ring of Acid Resistance. Both should work while I'm shifted into animal forms. Is that OK with everyone?
If we divide up the gold item values and sell the Mgical Vestment, how much does that work out to be? The shirt is worth like 5K gps I think.
No worries here. I got all I wanted.
I'll take the breastplate and the bow and arrows. I have a better Dex and BAB than Will anyway.
Leng
....Slippers of Spider Climbing
....Ring of Force Shield
Spitter
....Amulet of Natural Armor +2
....Ring of Acid Resistance

....dragon bane Transformative longsword +2
Renliet

Pavo

....breastplate of luck +3
....10 dragonbane arrows +1
....1 arrow of dragonslaying
Will and Pavo seemed to make out the most, so I would say the rest can split the left overs to sell and buy what we can before whatever comes next.
mnemonic vestment (Price 5,000 gp)
platinum wedding band set with a ruby worth 1,250 gp
a circlet worth 2,250 gp
+1 chain shirt (Pavo's old armor)
mw full plate (Will's old armor)
Can anybody enchant at all? The circlet would make an excellent misc magic item base item...?
Otherwise that looks like a really good list to me. Thanks Pavo!
Just curious...Did we level up?
No level yet, but pretty soon.
No enchanting from me. You can add a MW Giant sticker to the sale items. I also have 1500 GP to contribute to party needs.
I tend to not take crafting feats without asking because they're needlessly powerful, but if the party is interested and the GM doesn't mind, I'm happy to pick up some crafting feats.
What, if any other magic items are available? Other than those listed in the Belhaim description.
There are lots of little things available in town.
Base Value is 1000gp, Purchase limit 5000gp.
Here is a list of currently available items:
+1 light crossbow, +2 longsword, wand of cure moderate wounds (39 charges), deep red sphere ioun stone, goggles of minute seeing, wand of lesser restoration (43 charges), +1 studded leather armor.
I'm pretty sure folks went to Delbin's, but I don't recall if you bought anything there or not, I will go back and check.
All good stuff. I bought a Pearl of Power (1st lvl) a while back.
I wish the armor was small sized. I could use some nicer leather armor.
I may have to just pay to get a suit enchanted eventually.
You get Scribe Scroll right Renliat? Maybe you can spend some group coinage on a few extra spells.
Does the temple sell any scrolls?
How is the loot split going? I know Renliat took that rod which was extremely expensive, but I would like a small cash flow so I can craft a few scrolls.
I'm okay not taking a split. Between the longbow, arrows, and armor, I'm good. I wouldn't mind anything that would help me shoot better, but I think the remaining funds should be split between Spitter, Renliat, and Leng.
I definitely don't deserve any extra cash, a maximize metamagic rod costs 54000gp.
I agree with Pavo. We already have a nearly full cure light wand. I will look for a few scrolls, or maybe a cloak of protection. Remember I can part with about 1500 GP for any needs
The magic ring I got was MORE than enough a bonus for my split. I'm unsure of the cash value. Keeping the Tiara/Crown for enchanting would be nice, but I think we need the cash value more. So let's sell anything nobody takes personally and focus on letting Ren writes some cheap scroll spells.
You have anything in your book of spells a Druid can cast?
Also, I spent most of my personal cash before this part, but I still have about 400gps Spitter likes to roll around on when he sleeps...
I was thinking if I could buy a couple of simple healing scrolls or similar from the temple?
Liberating Command
Snowball
Those are the only spells in Renliat's spellbook that overlap with the druid list. Of course if you find any others that overlap we can purchase a scroll for Renliat to learn the spell from, at which point he can scribe it as much as we want.
I was thinking non-combat spells.
OK.
Buying a scroll for you to learn a spell might be best so you can make more. Let me see what could be available...
Yeahhhh...Renliat is an evoker. His list of non-combat spells is pretty sparse :)
Fair enough! I'm a storm-caster druid basically. So elemental/storm/weather magics are my specialty.
Being able to cast Mage Armor on Leng is always a plus.
And we can dedicate some funds to get Spitter some armor.
I can always use the deep red sphere ioun stone or the goggles of minute seeing. Anything that helps me shoot better or helps me be a rogue better.
I can prepare an additional mage armor. I can drop alarm, since we usually get to sleep safely in town?
Sessina's Hides would rush an alteration job on the armor for the folks trying to slay the dragon.
If we can afford the +1 studded leather (altered) that would up my AC by 2 points.
Not a requirement, but it would be appreciated.
I'm happy with the force shield! I already have the crazy flaming exotic weapon so I'm good. :)
Well, what do we have as far as loot goes, what does our budget look like?
Counting Will's 1500, it looks like 8,675.
If I could just keep a few hundred, say like 500, then I can have a host of scrolls prepared, but please spend the rest on you guys.
Splitter - take 600gp for scrolls.
Spitter - take 1175 for the +1 studded leather armor. Since they can do a rush job, maybe we can throw in another 200gp to make it darkwood studded so it's not metal.
Renliat - take 1000gp for scrolls. Any that help to hit would be appreciated.
That leaves a total of 5,700gp.
The wand of cure moderate is 3510, which at this level seems like a much better option than the cure light wand so I say we sell the cure light wounds wand and get the upgrade.
Will, how many charges are left on the cure light?
That leaves a little over 2,000gp so Will, get your cloak of resistance.
Leng, that leaves about 1,000 left over. Maybe get some alchemical items? Tanglefoot bags are great and you're a decent thrower...
46 charges left so it should bring close to full price.
I've had GM's go both ways with using Studded Leather for Druids so...
It uses metal in the armor normally, but it is not a 'significant amount' as most GM's I know say. What do you think DM?
I already stayed silent the first time around, lol, that was actual tacit approval of the use =P
Sounds like we are just about ready to head into the Monastery? I will get that going the next couple days.
I've updated Spitter I think: And I've simplified Spitter's Wildshape into an Allosaurus with its own avatar!
Enjoy!
I would say don't bother selling the cure light wounds wand. As long as we're not trying to do in combat healing, it's better to just stock up on cure light wounds.
Renliat will create:
Scroll of fireball x2
Scroll of haste x2
Scroll of burning hands x2
This will leave him with 100gp left over, and he is ready to go.
OK...
Can we buy a scroll of Protection from Energy from the temple/priests? That way Renliat can learn it and make copies. I know it will be expensive, but its a spell we can both cast and since we are going to find a Dragon mostly likely...
I'm all for it! Use some of my cash.
Wasn't necessarily looking for a cloak for Wil, if anyone else needs better saves they should take it. His saves are 7/2/8 and gets +1 to each vs. spells, spell-like, and poison. Also if needed the extra money could be used for Wooden or Leaf armor for Spitter if neeeded.
No worries Leng, I'll take it out of my end. Again, I just got a 50k magical item, I want to take minimum money.
Ignore previous post about scrolls
New creations:
Fireball
Haste
Burning Hands x2
Purchasing protection from energy at full price and learning it will cost 465gp (I assume there's no 5+ level wizards in town I can copy the spell from)
That leaves me with 35gp left over and I now know protection from energy and can make scrolls of it. I don't want to not create the four scrolls I listed above, because as an evoker I am only efficient as long as I keep spells pumping out.
I really don't think we need to buy that cure moderate wounds wand. It's a pretty expensive item and I think we only intend to use it for out of combat healing, and it would be more efficient to buy multiple wands of cure light wounds for that.
I'll take it!
Give that Cure Moderate wand to me and I'll use it during combat without a question. I don't keep a bunch of healing spells on hand usually...AND I can use it in melee combat with undead! You can never have too much healing...especially since we need might to fight a dragon. Besides, Cure Moderate spell is a 3rd level spell for Druids if I remember correctly, so I don't have to a spell slot to memorize one if I have the wand.
Fair enough, if the plan is to use it in combat than yes a higher level wand would be appropriate.
How many resist energy spells do we want? Every additional 3rd level spell slot will cost about 187.5gp, although I can prepare less fireballs/haste if we want to cut cost.
Just one or two Protection scrolls should work for now.
I don't plan on casting scrolls during combat if I can help it.
Do remember that each protection from energy spell only effects a single target.
Perhaps it may be better to grab resist energy instead? Not as much protection but it is a lower level spell so it's cheaper/easier to have more of them ready.
What about the communal version?
Also an option!
That's all fine by me. Pick one you want to put in your spellbook!
Alright I have switched it to communal resist energy and have one of them prepared, should we run into a dragon Renliat can throw that spell up.
I'm ready to move forward!
Just a quick note: I've been distracted by COVID related stuff (no one sick, but RL is fully impacted, heh). I should be back to more normal posting frequency in the next few days and I hope everyone is safe and healthy.
