i dont mean to start any fights or piss anyone off, I just thought id put my two cents in the ring for others to look at it differently, just cause the post ended 3 years ago doesn't mean new players and GMs now are not still looking in to it and talking about it. I don't post often, im not saying im smarter cause im not, I just wanted to post my idea in hopes it might help. dont know why it bothered you Gisher

Sorry, my post probably reads as angry or upset, but that wasn't intended. Sometimes it is difficult to convey tone through text. I don't have any problem with people bringing back old threads to revisit old ideas. And as you say, updates can help other people who show up later and are trying to understand the game. I've updated a number of threads that way myself.

I was just confused when you started off by posting "Honestly i didn't read all of this post." It seemed odd that someone want to revisit such a specific topic, but then not bother to read the opening post. I'm thinking now that you meant something like "I haven't read through all of the posts in this thread" which is very different from the way my sleepy brain was reading it.

Anyway, I apologize for phrasing things badly. Please don't let this hold you back from posting further.

Yes i did mean i didnt read all the posts in the thread. Its fine i just like to avoid fighting on the internet cause i find it pointless and time consuming. I agree it is very hard to convey tone through text.

Is there a book other then the core rulebook with item creation rules? Am i missing something? The item creation rules in the core mostly speak of the craft DC, how long you can work a day, how to add material cost to the item, how to decrease the items price with other added requirements but other then that i go to the craft wondrous item section and it tells me to use the table that gives me that formula. I then created the item which costs 5,400 gold for a standard action command word activation of true strike 5 time a day. This doesn't seem to be broken to me. I also don't think such a thing is worthy of being an artifact. So what if the level 3 fighter gets +20 to hit 5 times a day, there is still the possibility of rolling a one (ive seen it happen way too often in my group with true strike) and round one is a movement plus activating the item, round two he attacks and lets say he hits and kills a minion oh well. I find this a very smart item to create not a broken one. There is also so many things a GM can do if they feel the item lets say they made it a glove is being over used, the GM can dispel it, steal it, hell have it just straight up disappear. But honestly if there are rules im not aware of could someone let me know what book they are in so I can read up on them. Im a slow learner so sorry if im frustrating anyone.

You resurrected a three year old thread that you didn't even bother to read?

Honestly i didn't read all of this post but this is what i got from all the rules, True strike spell level 1 x Caster level 3 x 1,800 = 5,400
An item that when activated with command as a standard action will grant the effects of true strike for 3 minutes or until an attack roll is made. Usable 5 times a day.

True Strike
You gain temporary, intuitive insight into the immediate future during your next attack. Your next SINGLE attack roll (if it is made before the end of the next round) gains a +20 insight bonus. Additionally, you are not affected by the miss chance that applies to attackers trying to strike a concealed target.

Rolling a 1 still ends in an automatic Fail.

Now i don't understand why everyone says it cost unreal amounts more then that.

Now let's look at Cape of mountebank the example item for a command word crafted item, Level 4 spell dimension door x Level 7 minimum caster x 1,800 = 50,400 but Cape of Mountebank cost only 10,800 but then again it's only a once a day item so we have to divide the cost. Now a once a day price gets divided by 5 making the item cost only 10,080. I don’t know where the 720 gold comes from, i can only guess its from the smoke that appears in both the spot you disappear from and the spot you appear in but it's only a guess. So an item that granted True Strike once a day would cost 1080, an item that does it 10 times a day will cost 10,800 but the 5,400 original cost is for a 5 times a day item. Now if you wanted to make an item that constantly gave the Effects of the spell True Strike which i would like to remind people can only give its bonus to a SINGLE attack, not every attack you get in one turn just ONE single attack per turn, you would make it continuous which will cost level 1 spell x level 3 caster x 2,000 x 2 (for spell duration minute per level) = 12,000 and this item would only take effect when the wearer or wielder makes a SINGLE attack. Keeping in mind how long it would take to craft these items and when the players would have enough gold to pay for the materials to make these items id say this is fine and very balanced. The command word item would take 6 days of down time or 12 days of active adventuring to craft and the continuous item would take 12 days of down time or 24 days of active adventuring to craft. A party of 4 should not be able to pay for the command item till level 4 or 3 at the earliest and that item would give a +20 to hit and no miss chances for one attack a turn, every other turn, such an item would only be useful to the party till they gain enough money and time to build the continuous item that again would only be good if you don't mind only making ONE attack a turn.

K everyone this is my first forum ever! I've been a Gm 2 years now and i made what Im calling my Campaign baby, I've created a game where there was a rise in magic so great it cause the creatures and races with magic in their blood to go mad! Now all races are held up in large city's spotted through out the world except for the "wild ones" who are people that refuse to join the civilization within the walls(Races with magic in there blood can still be found inside the walls completely fine). Gods worship and their worshipers are becoming band inside the city, Dragons are fighting each other more then usual due to the madness setting in and the players are going to have to fix the worlds problems, what else do they do haha. now a few things i could use some help with are.

1. what should i name this? I have a few idea but i want it to sound cool!
my ideas are; Shadows of Magic, A Dragons Secret, or How to kill a mocking bird. (JK on that last one) go ahead ask questions and if you have an idea for a name or think i should use one of my two let me know.

2. I've added my own 12 relics to the game completely one of a kind items that can be found randomly with a 15% chance and they have already found 6 in the first session! I swear the one guy who found 3 stepped on a Leprechaun with his lucky horse shoe and scrapped him off with his 7 leaf clover. anyway ill post stats for the items later on but i want to know what you guys find broken or not strong enough about them but keep in mind they are meant to make them powerful but i want them all to be balanced with each other.

3. Guns, Guns, Guns! you add guns and everyone jumps for em. guns are nice but unless you take the right feats or skills they can be a hassle. first session i showed that the world may have guns and shoot outs are fun but wild animals don't sit back and let you shoot them from afar. All but 2 members of the party use guns but only one is a gunslinger capable of fixing them and i was just wandering if anyone foresees any problems with guns that i haven't thought of?

4.Vehicles. they are in my world but they are like a sword it takes time for the blacksmiths to make and each one is unique. all top out at 30mph some can go 40 if created right. mostly owned by the rich and the military, used as armored transports. does anyone see problems with this?

5. Im bringing Daralathyxl from dragons revisited into the world but he has gone mad and is one of the party's largest threats. they have already encountered him as he chased a white dragon to her death or so he thought. i planned to give the party a random number of hybrid dragons to raise. they are mixed of gold and white and they were bred by the last sane dragons as a hope to bring Dara down but the job will be passed to the pc's when Dara attacks the ruins at which they find the eggs and the other dragons fend him off as the pc's run for it. now hybrid dragons does anyone know how to combine the 2 just right or know where i should look and yes they will be aging fast when the pc's find the time chamber which is a demi plane that has a year go by in a day but only when the door is shut.

That's all i can think of at this moment. Now for party info.

what happen first session?
All pc's but (bd) and (G) were sent to find a golden egg that legend has it could power a city with magic. on the second day of traveling they witnessed a colossal red dragon chasing a large white blur, only one of them identified it as a white dragon. After laying low the chased ended with the white dragon gone and the red bored so he left. when they sat down to cook one pc noticed smoke in the distance so they checked it out as they closed in on a cabin a women fell from the trees and landed in (S)'s arms, the cabin door swung open, standing in the door was (Bd) and (G), what was about to end in a shoot em up gun fight ended with insulting banter when (S) and (G) noticed each other (S and G are nephew and uncle by adoption) after everyone grouped up they started to settle in and quickly got (Bd) and (G) up to speed on the mission they had, it was here i sprang some starving werewolves and wolves on them. they struggled but pulled it off. that night the women awoke and lied to all of them about who she was and why she was there. none of the pc's beat her bluff but all of them had their feelings about her. (S) and (A) searched the area they found her at and could not find her gear she said was there, the next morning she went there and found her gear in a spot (S) knows was empty. yes the Girl is the white dragon in human form and plans to follow them to the ruined city which is where tey will get the eggs ect.
Thats all i got for now ill post the items i made soon and update you on what happens at next session 8/24 my bday.
