Fairly close. These side quests for the various locations aren't terribly long, and I'm not going to run all of the town events.
Maybe another couple of months IRL?
As to the items that prior PCs took, do note that Sosche came in with full WBL. To have that and also get to reclaim all that prior PCs had could be excessive. But let's see.
Kowal had a Wand of CLW. I have already said that the party has that.
Malakar had a Wand of Flaming Sphere with 6 charges.
I don't think anybody else had anything, especially with the change to ABP. So, it's just Malakar's wand of Flaming Sphere I think. Do you think the party should have that?
I didn't mean everything the inactive characters have, only the things that are specifically treasure from the books.
Like, I'm thinking a wand of flaming sphere with 6 charges sounds more like treasure from the book. I don't think he bought the wand, or it was a reward he got from Mioki back when. The wand of CLW is probably a purchase or reward.
So, if my guesses are right, we reclaim the wand of flaming sphere, but not the wand of CLW.
I've noticed that in every pbp I've played in everyone is poor to some degree. At some point, (well actually my war for the crown game, where we'd found three artifacts, but the players who had them were all gone and we had zero artifacts) I realized treasure keeps getting divided and players keep leaving so the party is constantly bleeding wealth. The money doesn't matter but items do, especially in a situation like this one where we can barely spend money.
Of course now that we're using ABP it matters less. Maybe it's a wash. But I figure it was worth inquiring about.
The party had a Wand of CLW from way back. It was down to 32 charges last time anybody posted about it. I think Malakar has it on his sheet at 38 charges.
Through some miracle of lingering Azlanti magic it is now full (50 charges), and let's track it accurately from here on out.
Don't forget that mundane healing to Treat Deadly Wounds is an option to conserve wand charges.
The wand was bought with party money and was originally on Kowal's sheet. Then Malakar's. Now Fenna's, I think. Point is, you have it.
The wand of Flaming Sphere is fine to keep.
Hopefully we can avoid losing any more players.
In Tyrant's Grasp you go to level 8 without being able to buy anything, not even mundane gear, and so a major portion of my party's wealth came from replacement PCs miraculously appearing with full optimized WBL. It was odd, to say the least.
Wow! I aspire to play Tyrant's Grasp someday, also Return of the Runelords. It seems like the last 2 APs didn't get much attention here.
Alright, thanks. I'll put the Wand of CLW on Fenna's sheet. Vexas will take the Wand of Flaming Sphere I assume.
Vexas will take the Wand of Flaming Sphere I assume.
Noted. Adding it.
