Hi!

I have some problems in calculation of the costs of a wondrous item one of my players whant to create.

Also I would like to request your thoughts for this item .. where might be a side effect (abuse) I will have to think of in the future as a GM?

Background:
Our Witch (lvl 8) has lost an eye. Now she thinks of a replacement. Her idea is a rubin enchanted with arcane sight and permanancy plugged into her eye socket.

She by herself can create wondrous items but will need help from other classes for the spells.

How do I calculate the crafting process (DCs) and the costs for this item?

I am looking forward for your ideas :)

Best regards,
Alandia

Hi All,

I have tried several searches in the forum but found nothing answering my questions - if I did not run the correct searches just a link would enough as answer ;-)

Ok my problem:

At the moment in my group there are a druid, ranger, orace, paladin.

All of them can get an animal compenion based on the druid animal companion.

But all of this seems not to be balanced.

1. Druid get an animal compenion chosen out of the lists in core etc. The stats are clearly stated. Everything fine so far.

2. Rangers can choos also out of those lists and their effective druid lvl references to Ranger-3. Seems ok for me because he gets it later and is some sort of hybrid in this case.

3. Paladin and Oracle become a companion referencing to there classlevel as effective druid lvl. Beside this they get several additional advantages like starting INT of 6 and gaining in case of the paladin extra goodies like celestial template, magical beast and instant summoning to her side later on. Also it is explicit stated that they get a 'heavy horse'. In the bestiary it is stated that a heavy horse gains the simple advanced template.

Now my questions regarding this three points:

- did I understand the rules like stated above correct?
- If I understand the rules correct, how can I explain my players that strong to nature bonded classes like ranger or especialy druid are getting even weaker companins like a paladin woh has nothing to do with nature?

At the moment my players are a bit pissed (besides the oracle and the paladin ;-) ) and I hope you can bring me some light into the darkness :D

Best regards
