Rules Questions


I have received an unusual request from a player.

He wants to enchant the bordello he owns with Prestidigitation set to 'Auto Clean'. The entire building would constantly clean itself and the things inside of it.

Are there any rules that address that? Or would it just 900 gp for a slotless level 0 item? It seems harmless but it sets an interesting precedent. I just know it'll lead to a +5 Throwing Bane(Witches) House.


The operable spell here is Permanency.

He would need to enchant each item in the building rather than the building as a whole. While prestidigitation isn't on the list of explicitly allowed spells, do note the final sentence: The GM may allow other spells to be made permanent.

Other 0-level spells cost 2,500 gp to make permanent.

I'd do it as a wondrous item using the normal creation rules, it's a very reasonable effect.

That would require the house to be a masterwork weapon... which is difficult to do in my experience.

I'd like to know WHY someone would make their house a masterwork weapon.

FTFY.

Permanency can work, but it can be dispelled, meaning it can be reapplied.

900 Gold for a custom item to tidy up the place (A Broom or Duster of Cleaning?) is actually quite a bit to spend on such a menial (and otherwise not really worthwhile) item. He'd be better spent putting it elsewhere, such as to improve his character's overall effectiveness in the midst of combat. Even the Goblin Fire Drums have their use...

I'd personally allow it, if only just to teach a lesson about spending money on useless stuff.

Nah, I've seen it done.... sorta. The player had an ability that allowed him to put enchantments on improvised weapons, we discussed methods on getting him to the right size category so he could then wield a building.

Well, I've heard of people who have weapon proficiency in Player Character. But swinging a house at someone, that sounds a tad... off.

You need to be a female druid that can transform in huge air elemental form and has a dog as animal companion.

Why a dog?

Dorothy + a cyclone + Toto the dog = Dropping a house on the Wicked Witch of the West and killing her.

Maybe casting permanency on some unseen servants would work? And who'd go around dispelling those? "How dare you have a clean bordello!"
