Thanks for the response. Understood! Any chance that you all will take Paypal in the future as an alternative?

And if I want to promote Lands of the Jade Oath at my RP-club, I'll need a few core books of AE for sure. I am in the same boat AmLash -- my group needs copies - 3 or 4 of them. Though I would certainly consider an errata'd copy for myself...
Would like to cancel the rest of this order: The following items have been cancelled:
The following items will be shipped as soon as possible:

Hey Justin! Would love your thoughts. Too much backstory is one issue, and there were at least two other cephalopod-related items, the Kraken Crown and Belt of the Octopode (both very good, I thought). Cuttlefish Clasp Spoiler: In addition to being a talented practitioner of the arcane arts, the wizard Calbran Vorta was an avid student of biology. He was especially enamored with cephalopods -- octopi, squid, etc. -- and their amazing arsenal of defensive and offensive abilities: chromatophores to change color and camouflage themselves, ink to confuse assailants, and those amazing tentacles to seize their prey. In order to emulate these adaptations on land he created the cuttlefish clasp. Vorta claimed the original clasp saved his life many times. Unfortunately, it was unable to save him when, on one of his underwater expeditions, he investigated a kraken a little too closely. This cloak clasp is made of silver and obsidian in the shape of squid or cuttlefish. It occupies the same item slot as an amulet or brooch. Once per day, the wearer can cast black tentacles; twice per day, the wearer can cast darkness. She also gains a +4 luck bonus to both Hide checks and Grapple checks. Moderate evocation and transmutation; CL 7th; Craft Wondrous Item, black tentacles, darkness; Price 22,000 gp.
