Edited in a response, since I was just commenting on an interesting (to Skyscale) object, so I hadn't seen your post yet, Kali.

Unfettered Predator: Taninim can only wear armor designed expressly for draconic bodies, and even then chafe at the restrictions armor can cause to their natural movements. Taninim increase the armor check penalty of any worn armor by 2, and suffer a -2 penalty on attack rolls while wearing medium or heavy armor even if they are proficient in it. Taninim also reduce their maneuverability rating by one step when flying while wearing medium or heavy armor. These penalties apply regardless of any armor proficiency the taninim has.
How would a shield interact with this? I could see sky using a magical buckler... If it didn't become a -3 to most of the things he's good at.
| Korash the Spiky |
Shields are not technically armor. It's the loophole that lets me stack Web of Steel with a shield.
| Ameo Wanstell |
I will be maxing out spellcraft at my next level up. I am regretting not doing so earlier.
| Skyscale |
Complication: Nevermind. Just noticed arrow-catching drags -all- ranged attacks to sky. As a melee with a pair of ranged... That shield seems like a death wish. :p
| Korash the Spiky |
Korash can take the Arrow-Catcher too. Just someone remind him to pull it out if we ever see archers.
| Skyscale |
I have decided to begin reading posts telling Skyscale he's amazing in my 'who's a good dog!?' voice. It seems fitting.

Somewheeeeereeee... OVER THE RAINBOW. Way up... high...
It's only been about 72 hours since a major GM post. And that wondrous item post is gonna be... daunting. As that's like half the items or more that would likely be in here. An adventurer has one set of armor, one magic weapon (or a few), and then -tons- of wondrous items.
So... I'm just hanging out and waiting patiently. Would you like for Sky to whimper as you take all the shinies for your own hoard?
| Skyscale |
I don't know what this is.
| Ameo Wanstell |
I get it. I was out of town all weekend spreading holiday cheer and such.
| Skyscale |
Unlike Skyscale, I am no good at holiday cheer. :p
| Korash the Spiky |
Oh, yeah. Looking back, sky scale: you can wear silk ceremonial armor (or an armored kilt) without penalty; combined with an enchanted mithral buckler, that's a decent AC boost.
| Skyscale |
The problem is, armor of -any- kind has an increase of -2 to the Armor Check penalty. Silk Ceremonial may start at 0, but it immediately becomes 2.
| Korash the Spiky |
Darkleaf Ceremonial/Mithral Kilt reduces that ACP by 2, so it goes back to an ACP of 0.
| Skyscale |
In theory, he can :P But a dress doesn't provide an armor bonus. It's pretty much a mess. We also have to get it in his size, then we have to get it in his shape... and could you just imagine getting a dragon fitted for a wedding? And would Sky wear a tux or a dress? Would he one-up the bride?
Ugh. SO many questions.
Would be hilarious to have Darkleaf Ceremonial Armor. XD Talk about Gaudy in just about every instance.
| Korash the Spiky |
Except that Silk Ceremonial armor is just a dress with armor studs, and it DOES provide a +1 armor bonus with no ACP or max dex. Also, Armored Kilts do the same thing, and a kilt for a dragon would probably just be a shawl.
| Skyscale |
| Korash the Spiky |
Heck... Korash is proficient with light/medium armor, he just doesn't get any bonuses to AC from it (thanks to Web of Steel). Deadly Fist is also the only class that gets to use an unarmed Flurry attack while wielding a shield, which is always fun.
| Skyscale |
Saddles go in the belt slot and can be enchanted as such. :) Exotic riding saddle of physical perfection +4? Yesplz.
| Vrog Skyreaver |
Hey guys, so I am still working on the lists (I just finished armor, which I will have posted up shortly), but I currently have the stomach flu, so I am kinda in and out of consciousness. I am feeling better and should be able to pick up tomorrow. I am posting this to all the games that I run/am in.
| Skyscale |
Skyscale will take his time filling his hoard... And he deems that you should get well soon.
| Isabela_Calista De-Romano |
I think she come form a place that has power rings, it hit me that if we are playing transparency rules then Psionic power items could just as well be magic items with powers. So that is how she is seeing them. She is being a bit mean picking what she wants 1st but she is like that,
She would also like the Xray ring scanner, as well to replace her remote view.

Ring of Wizardry III 70kgp
Aura moderate (no school); CL 11th
Description
This special ring comes in four varieties, all of them useful only to arcane spellcasters. The wearer’s arcane spells per day are doubled for one specific spell level. A ring of wizardry III doubles 3rd-level spells, Bonus spells from high ability scores or school specialization are not doubled.
Ok so with transparency how dos that work, I just can't see how it would. As Power Points power powers over spells per day. So that ones magic only.
| Skyscale |
Some things just don't cross over. Like intensify spell rods. Or Attunement Crystals that store power points for you. :)
| Korash the Spiky |
Yeah. Items that specifically modify spell slots don't transfer over—although that might help Ameo.
| Skyscale |
Just remember. That only works for the base third level spells you get. Bonus ones aren't doubled. Sad day!
But as a sorcerer type... that's still 6 more 'fireball equivalents' a day. Crazy.
| Ameo Wanstell |
Yea, I can cast 13 level 3 spells per day. And yes I figured that up correctly.
| Korash the Spiky |
I believe I have thirteen words to say in response to that (or at least would, if it were my character):
Fireball!
Fireball!
Fireball!
Fireball!
...Fireball.
Fireball.
Fireball.
Fireball?
Fireball.
Fireball!
Fireball!
Fireball!
Fireball.

Maaan, someone was really into poison. Also, let's see:
Okay, Rod of Splendor doesn't stack with the Headband of Mental Prowess.
Korash would like the +6 Wis/Cha headband; he can't benefit from the Cha, but it's the only Wisdom booster, and his to hit/damage with all weapons is based on Wisdom.
Someone should take the Rods of Negation and Enemy Detection, since they're situationally very useful to anyone.
Eyes of Eyebite are also useful for anybody.
Isabela, remember you can't wear all the things; I think we'll just leave the rest in a pile somewhere and come back with higher spellcraft.
Korash could use the Cassock of the Clergy if nobody else benefits, but Skyscale might like it more.
The Amulet of Mighty Fists is of no use to Korash (wrong ability layout).
The Gunslinger's Duster doesn't do anything to help with firearm attacks. It's basically a bracers of armor +4 that gives defenses against guns. I don't know whether that still helps Isabela. The Gunfighter's Poncho also only helps with defenses against guns.
Horseshoes of Mist are only good for someone with a LOT of Use Magic Device.
| Skyscale |
Sky, by the book he comes from, has neither a horse shoe, nor boots slot. Nor gloves slot. :) So while he's got UMD, he does -not- have the slot to use them in.
Sky doesn't have much use for the Cassock, though. :P
| Korash the Spiky |
Oh, for some reason I thought Skyscale was the one with Diplomacy.
Also I missed that Ameo uses wisdom for some abilities, hmm. I really don't need the Cha boost, so he can have the headband if he wants—maybe one of the other headbands is +wis.
P.S. A few of the unidentified items can only be one or two things, but Korash doesn't know that.
| Skyscale |
Sky would just wear stuff. Suddenly, the cloak he puts on turns into a Spawncloak. Win!
| Isabela_Calista De-Romano |
She is rapping easy to carry things in a cloak as posted, yes I know about the Gun stuff, but they help stop bullets things she understands.
She has taken the light stuff so she can carry it. Head band is a must for Ameo, he may want the rod of negation to. We will be looking over what the other stuff dos next day, so if we live that long. The ring is a key helper for her, getting her AC up from 15 was a must, with out her powers she is all but crippled.
| Korash the Spiky |
...If Isabela's wearing the Duster, though, her AC should go up another 4 points.
| Skyscale |
Sky's light load, assuming he's not put on something that will adjust his strength, is 519 pounds.
Skyscale would wear the sense motive monocle if someone told him he should. :) So if Korash would tell the dragon that the monocle makes him better at understanding people, he'd take that. But if it was about reading minds or the like, he'd rather trust people. So it depends on how it's presented. Or just 'Hey, Sky. Wear this, not that. That might melt your brain.'
Shoving whatever stuff we find inside of the various magical bags these people probably had, and putting it into the Upgraded Crate of Draconic Might 2.0™ would be a -lot- of stuff that sky's able to carry.
Also, just looked. And the only thing Charisma does for Skyscale with the things I've selected is make him better at intimidating, pretending he knows what he's doing with magic items, and makes him more compulsive. I didn't choose any draconic awesomes that relied on Cha despite that score being super high. :P
| Skyscale |
I think it's safe to say we hit their 'magic items storage section'. No mention of any guns at all, strangely, even though we found gunslinger gear.
| Korash the Spiky |
For anyone who's curious, there's about as much biological similarity between a pine tree and an oak as there is between a human and a lobster, which is why I'd expect Korash's people to have no qualms about cutting down at least some trees.
