Full Plate is an example of armor that is personalized. Magic armor is not an issue as it automatically sizes to fit the wearer.

Well, since you have to touch the turning character, the limit is probably 8 assistants. That's the maximum number of medium or small creatures that can surround a single medium or small creature (unless they're flying, of course).

Good idea, but try it with the gem from trap the soul and it will even prevent true resurrection.

On the other hand, if an opposing mage thinks you just cast shield, he's not likely to target you with magic missiles.

As a reminder, shield provides a cover bonus to AC rather than a reflex bonus to AC. You are correct, at low to mid levels the wizard and sorcerer can have the highest AC in the party. At higher levels, the tanks in armor can afford to enchant their armor and shield to the point where they...

Be careful about allowing your players to use restrictions to lower the price of magic items. When players make their own items, they are rarely disadvantaged by restrictions. If the party wizard makes an item only usable by wizards, how is that a disadvantage? Depending on the item, it may...

I don't see any reason why you couldn't have more than one spell on a scroll. I'd probably set an upper limit of 4-6 spells on a single scroll. Actually, a better limit might be 10 spell levels. I would not allow a player to put more than one spell on a scroll per day, regardless of whether the...

Re: Re: Epic Spell Resistance Items First, where did you find the 200K number? Second, are you saying that since there is no cap listed for SR items, they never get the x10 multiplier?

It looks to me like epic spells are limited more by the cost to develop them than by the difficulty to cast them.

I think the most fun way to deal with the Tarrasque is dominate monster. It's Will save is only +20. If you focus on increasing your save DCs, it shouldn't take more than a few castings to get you your very own pet Tarrasque. It's SR 32 isn't too hard to beat either. If you play in the...

Use create greater undead on a random corpse to create a vampire, then have your wizard buddy use control undead on the vampire to force it to turn you into a vampire. Finally, destroy the vampire so you are free-willed.

From the SRD: I don't see any reason to make Energy Resistance more effective than it already is. This way, multiple weak attacks can be used to overwhelm Energy Resistance, while your option A is actually Energy Immunity to a certain level of damage.

Isn't 200K the max for an individual enchantment on an item, rather than the total cost of all enchantments on an item? For example, an item that boosted all ability scores by 6 would cost 396K and be a non-epic item because none of the individual enchantments cost more than 200K.

I should have been more clear. If you are concerned about looking silly with a shield on each arm, why not use a club and a wooden shield. Both can have spikes cast on them. That way you have the standard weapon/shield combo.

How is a wooden shield with spikes cast on it superior to a wooden club with spikes cast on it?

Ah, I missed the 200K max. Is that stated in the DMG or ELH?

Magic of Faerun lists a number of exotic substances with which to make magic weapons and armor. Several of the substances which would otherwise be fairly weak (gold for example) specifiy in their descriptions that the process of enchanting makes them as hard as steel. I would treat jade as an...

You'd think so, but according to the SRD, apparently not.

The Mantle of Epic Spell Resistance gives SR 40 and lists a market price of 290,000 gp. By the DMG, the price for SR items is ((SR-12)*10,000). This would give a cost of 280,000 gp for a SR 40 item. If it's an epic item, the cost should by x10. My question is, at what point does SR become...

I find it to be of very limited use. As a player, it would be a rare situation when I was willing to destroy potential treasure. If the weapon is powerful enough to spend attacks destroying it, it is powerful enough to be valuable. As a DM, I would hesitate to use this feat against the players...
