Epic Level 3.5 game

[OnlytheStrong]

I have 183,518gp left that you can use to create an intelligent weapon. Feel free to use it all. I would prefer to have a Composite Shortbow (can't use a longbow). Other than that, you can do whatever you want to the weapon. Oh, just um........... make sure it doesn't want to kill me

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Bracers of armor add to armor, not natural armor. You want the Amulet of Natural Armor, which goes up to +5 for 50,000gp.

Oooo...or one of those celestial warlocks from Complete Mage!

Is Complete Mage an okay source?

I'm considering either a monk/sorceror of Thoth, or a Warlock with that celestial warlock PrC (who's name I can't remember, argh) from Complete Mage. Either way, CM would be a good source of feats and spells and powers, and for the second concept the PrC would be needed for a warrior of Ra....

 

[Brazeku]

Here you go OnlytheStrong, I've modified the shortbow. I took out hold person (because it will never work on anything in epic levels), and detect thoughts (because divination magic is banned), and I've replaced them with different effects. I'll let you have this for 170,000, if you want it.

The Arm of Set (Intelligent Flaming Composite Shortbow +4)

Int: 19 +4 mod
Wis: 19 +4 mod
Cha: 10 +0 mod

Ego Score: 26

120ft Darkvision, blindsense, hearing

4 Lesser Powers: Cure Moderate Wounds (3/day), 10 ranks in Sense Motive, 10 ranks in Search, +2 universal saving throw bonus (divine bonus)

4 Greater Powers: Cast Daylight (3/day, may be centered on an arrow as it is fired as a swift action), Cast Deeper Darkness (3/day, may be centered on an arrow as it is fired as a swift action), Sand Shield (at will as a move action, creates an orb of swirling sand around the holder. Provides damage reduction 5/piercing, and a +1 dodge bonus to AC. The effect persists until deactivated as a free action.), Foot of the Desert Swift (when on sand, the holder may take a 10 foot step as opposed to a 5 foot step. Sand shield can trigger this effect.)



Shayuri: complete Mage is a-ok!

 

[OnlytheStrong]

Sounds great. I'll add it to my sheet. I have a question for anyone who cares to help. I read in the DM book that you can combine attributes of magical items. I wanted an Amulet of Health and the Amulet of Natural Armor. The way I figured the price, they cost over 100k, which is fine. I just wanted to know if I did things right or not.

 

[Shayuri]

Most likely. You take the full value of the most expensive, add the value of the lesser costing, plus 50%.

Illustrated:

Amulet of Natural Armor +5 = 50,000
Amulet of Health +6 = 36,000
+50% of cost of Amulet of Health +6 = 18,000

Total = 104,000

That's my understanding at least.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

That was my calculation too.

Also, on another note, being the party healer and being undead means I finally have a good excuse to prep lots of inflicts and harms and such, since I still spontaneously cast healing

[sblock=Background]The first thing I remember is death. I did not know why I died, or who I might have been before Anubis claimed my soul, and so I was born from death into a new, greater life by the hands of the Jackal-headed god. I have walked the path from the Underworld into the desert, and by Anubis' will it has made me strong. I will bring the words of death into the world, for they have been forgotten in the sands of time. I am the desert. I am the end that must befall us all.[/sblock]

 

[WarlockLord]

Can we use spell and magic item compendiums?

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

I probably should have asked that earlier, actually, I just assumed (silly me). If not, I'll revise it to only use stuff from the Completes and core.

 

[Ryfte]

Most likely. You take the full value of the most expensive, add the value of the lesser costing, plus 50%.

Illustrated:

Amulet of Natural Armor +5 = 50,000
Amulet of Health +6 = 36,000
+50% of cost of Amulet of Health +6 = 18,000

Total = 104,000

That's my understanding at least.

Actually... if you use the MIC for reference on magic item creation now certain common enchantments do not accrue extra cost for being combined. Stat modifiers as long as they are applied to items of suitable slot locations are one of those thus the +6 con would be at normal cost and there wouldn't be any increase. That of course would have to be approved by Brazeku as the volunteered DM though.
