Hi all Paizo fans :-)
Still working on RP and technical aspects of my sorcerer. Item I'm currently working on is a pair of gauntlets (zen version) :
- one black gauntlet with defending power (for AC)
- one white gauntlet with guardian power (for saves)
Question is not about these powers but my wish to RP something like Vador absorbing a blaster shot.
With medfan, in fact, it would be absorbing spells : getting a rod of absorption into one of my gauntlet and to absorb a spell (and then re-use for casting :-))
By RAW, I saw no ASF for gauntlets. With Aroden's spellsword, rod will be "in hand" as required to absorb spells.
Am I doing it wrong vs RAW ? vs RAI ?
Nope, you're not doing anything wrong, everything you want to do is perfectly valid.
You may want to use Spiked Gauntlets instead of normal ones, but that's up to you.
Neat idea, by the way.
@TheFinish: With STR 7 and low BAB (sorcerer) I will avoid melee like plague. I guess you suggest Spiked Gauntlets for melee actions ?
@OilHorse: True. I'd love an alternative like Magus Staff main power but I was unable to encounter one (by RAW). 10 charges that replenish each day would be pure gold for this item.
Counterspell Rings charged with Dispel Magic (Greater if possible) are a closing idea but that's all.
Well I mean, they're not gonna do much of a difference in melee, but boy do they look cooler! Spikes makes everything cooler!
... this combo should then, also, work with these
- Conduit Rod
- Rod of Escape
- Rod of Alertness
Thought, not all powers will be available... but guess what ? I got two hands so one for Absorption and one for ... Conduit may be ?
Conduit can be quite a surprise and is some kind of free teleport (and at lower levels).
