Building the Flying Nimbus


Advice


I've been dreaming up playing a monk character that rides a flying cloud, the Nimbus a la Goku and Dragon Ball Z. I want it to function pretty much like the broom of flying reskinned except I want it to be intelligent, capable of communicating telepathically and moving on its own. Can anyone help me build this and price it? I would be appreciative.


I do not watch Dragon Ball Z but wouldn't an air elemental companion fit the bill?

Eh, not really. The intelligent and telepathic communtications aren't even really a Dragonball thing, it just makes the item fit the rule of cool better. The nimbus is really just a golden cloud that Goku rides. It does on ocassion exhibit the ability to move on it's own and decide where to go without Goku doing or saying anything aside from when he calls it to him, which is why I decided to add the intelligent and telepathic communication part.


Get a bunch of cotton balls. Like a LOT. Enough to mash it into whatever qualifies as medium/large object (DM's call on minimum).

Get someone (PC or NPC) with the Craft Construct feat. Make cotton ball mess into permanent animated object creature. Discuss with DM on using robot subtype or magic intelligent item rules to get Int score (if you even find it necessary, since animated object can take directions).

Give animated object fly speed, maybe give it metal hardness.

Ride it.
