Starting gold/equipment: 12th level standard, but no magic item with a price of over 28,000 gp. (I normally set a much, much lower 'per item' limit on magic, but, hey, I figure we might as well live a little, eh?) (Also, I'm not at all used to running a game for 12th level characters. The highest level that I have much experience with is about 5th-6th, so you guys may soon be cursing my name and burning me in effigy!)

The gold limit applies to the out-of-pocket cost to the character, so, theoretically, I guess you can exceed the limit by making your own goodies. (And exceed it by a good long way, too!) Items can be combined, also -- for instance, making a ring that acts as +x protection + spell turning would cost the sum of those two rings, though the cost of the lowest priced enchantment would be 1.5 the cost (Edited his wording here to match item creation costs from the DMG). A ring cannot hold more than 2 such enchantments, so no 'triple rings' or more. (Again, all of this is stated from memory. If there are rules covering this in a 3.5 book, then the book controls, and trumps my memory.)

As he adds allowed sources and the like I will edit this post to keep it current.

I've been wondering the same thing. C'mon guys, I gave you epic, return the favour.

Rathan · 11th May 2009, 03:54 AM

This character would be a great fit for my Whirtlestaff's Wizard's Academy game, except for one little thing: the party there is CL 5 currently.

But, if you want to make a 5th-level-version of him, you'd be more than welcome to give us a try.

dang.. got my hopes up when someone other than Rath or myself bumped the thread *L*

Leif · 12th May 2009, 10:12 PM

I hate to be the cause of disappointment. Tell you what, guys, I have a number of modules of the level you're looking for, let me have a look this evening and see what I can cobble together. What sort of party are we looking at, other than our friend the wizard and his Golem buddy? Number of pcs? Classes/Races? We've already established 12th as entry level, haven't we?

Rhun · 12th May 2009, 10:25 PM

If you really do start something around this level, let me know Leif. I'd be interested. Not sure what I'd play, but it would definitely be fun to try something a little higher level. I do have a wizard concept of my own around that level that I never really got a chance to try out...but there are several other PCs I'd like to try too.

Jemal · 12th May 2009, 10:27 PM

to tell you the truth, I have so many concepts that I want to play that anything double-digit would work for me. It's just that some of these characters don't work (or don't work well.. or just aren't as much fun.. etc) at lower level.

If we're talking 12th, I've got an Arcane Heiorphant, a Dual-wielder, A Luck-based character(Using Fortunes Friend from Complete Scoundrel), a Gray-guard(Complete Scoundrel), and a Spirit Shaman/Monk, as well as various fighter-types, and warlock playstyles (Some melee, some ranged, some dual-classed via complete mage PrC's),

renau1g · 12th May 2009, 10:33 PM

ohhh wowww... Leif is potentially running another game? Count me interested. I always wanted to play a rogue/cleric Shadowbane Stalker (Complete Arcane).

Let me know if this takes flight

Rathan · 12th May 2009, 10:41 PM

My character is a gray elf wizard with a golem manual.... and a WHOLE lot of scrolls bought and scribed into his spell books so he's a VERY diverse caster....

also.... not sure if there is such a thing but is there a way to heal a golem with magic immunity other than the Craft Construct feat?

kinem · 12th May 2009, 10:45 PM

I'm obviously going to be away for a few days, but I would be interested in a Leif-DM'd game as well

CaBaNa · 12th May 2009, 10:55 PM

I could build an amazing "Defender" wizard by 12th level! Especially if he could have access to the Staff Fighting Feat. It could be an all wizard party.

Rathan · 12th May 2009, 10:58 PM

mmmm wizards cabal.... mmmmm LOL

Rhun · 12th May 2009, 11:01 PM

Funny how nobody posts in this thread at all until someone mentions they **might** run a game, and then everyone comes out of the woodwork.

renau1g · 12th May 2009, 11:04 PM

Yup, everyone has PC's they want to play, but nowhere to play them

Rathan · 12th May 2009, 11:12 PM

I honestly thought it was a long shot.... as I said I don't usually ask.. I feels it's... well.. almost rude....

Might I also add on a side note I love your signature quote Rhun

Theroc · 12th May 2009, 11:49 PM

<.<

If there's room, I could make a Wizard too, lol. Summoner most probably. Almost exclusively SRD content, unless this ends up starting a few weeks from now, in which case I might have access to some splatbooks.

Rathan · 13th May 2009, 12:12 AM

wow.. wizard central.... interesting.... and not a meatshield among them save for my golem buddy.... sadly if he's gonna be the only fighter-esque thing we got we'll ALL have to pitch in to get him repaired.... cause it's NOT cheap OR quick to do so.... maybe I can work with the DM for an alternate way to keep it 'healed' up if we don't have any kind of front line fighters....

I planned to specialize in summoning frontline combat critters...

Jemal · 13th May 2009, 12:43 AM

i don't do... wizards.

Perhaps a 'mage-defender', sworn to protect the 'cabal'
