    Pls help price this custom magic item + new spell

    My thoughts. It's based on the invisibility spell, and works pretty much exactly like that... Minute per level, dispelled upon attack, only +5 to hide instead of +20 (or +40 standing still). And, just because there are different rules as to how people handle invisibility, this spell grants...

    Still invisible??

    No, the victim completely does not have to be aware of the assassin. Man, that *would* make it more difficult!

    Alchohol During A D&D Game?

    Some of the best games I ever played have had alchohol consumption... and some of the best I've played have had rules against it. Well, not 'rules' per se, but where clearly it would have been frowned on if someone had brought a beer. More of the first than the second, I'll admit. In general...

    How to price this?

    Because it's not a part OF his body. Other that that, don't make it quickened. Have it instead build up a 'stockpile' of the ammunition. Then it's much much cheaper.

    Does this provoke an AofO?

    No AoO. Spellcasting does provoke, so if the fighter had reach casting the spell would provoke unless the caster made a CR check. However that wasn't the question. The cleric makes a touch attack on the unconcious fighter to deliever the spell. Touch attacks don't provoke even if the caster...

    Ghost busting tactic

    I see your point. Mine is simply that it doens't say Target: one creature. Rather it say: Effect: 1-ft.-diameter/level sphere, centered around a creature. In other words, while I agree that it doens't imply multiple creatures at all, indeed it implies a single creature, I'm also not going off...

    Pls help price this custom magic item + new spell

    Very good point, Beholder. Something I missed in the original description. The first level spell I described ends when you attack, as per the invisibility spell. I made an edit to the post to reflect that. In addition to that, thanks for the comment and the additional spell write-up! ^_^

    Pls help price this custom magic item + new spell

    2,500 for a bonus is pretty standard, I agree. So the only real thing to figure is how much is that Hide in Plain Sight actually worth? (And then it's combined with the +5 bonus, so one of the two should be priced at +50%... heheh. Or not. There are a lot of ways to go with this).

    I'm not a wizard, druid or ranger. Can I get a Familiar or Animal Companion?

    You certainly can. Maybe not a "familiar" per se, but even better! That's right, and in the Core books too. It's called "leadership" and it grants you a 'cohort'. Nothing in the feat says the cohort has to be humanoid. It can be one of the most powerful ever. Adding loyalty and character levels...

    Is Caster Level a prerequisite for creating magic items?

    Depends on who you ask. Since you're asking me, "No, you don't."

    How to price this?

    Didn't I comment on this once? Doesn't look like it. I'd base it off the cantrip "bolt" which creates a bolt from nothing, capable of being fired from a crossbow or somesuch. Other than that, without any other thought put into it, 1000 would be more than enough, if not TOO much to charge for...

    Eberron, Monks and Shifters

    Yup. I'd also allow the flurry + natural attack. With the concept that flurry is similiar to two fighting and rapid shot... (it even stacks with two weapon fighting). Of course, during your flurry you're allowed to only use monk weapons or unarmed attacks, not the natural attacks... so the...

    Pls help price this custom magic item + new spell

    As GM I made a custom spell for one of my players. He was a straight wizard, but put points in stealth, and wanted something early on to help with hiding. Looking at the invisibility spell as a base, I created the first level spell "Fade". Gives a +5 'invisibility' bonus to hide, and grants...

    Ghost busting tactic

    The sphere blocks line of effect, so it would have worked. The gaze couldn't have gotten out (but could still have affected any within I'd say that the ghost managed to escape the shpere. However any others who didn't try to escape would still be caught. The spell says it's an effect...

    Does bull's Str stack with Belt of Str?

    IMC? You'd still have them even when the Periapt was stolen. If you didn't catch the thief until day 2 you wouldn't have them that day, however. But on Day 3, after sleeping with you precious, you'd get them back. I can see a more strict ruling stating that you still have them but can't access...

    Does bull's Str stack with Belt of Str?

    Yes. But not *everyone* will wear said gear. However, yes, it will become less useful at levels where people who would want +Ability will have items of +4 or +6 to that ability. Better spells would make the gear pointless, true. Unless, of course, you're not getting that spell every morning...

    Grease - Uses of and effectivity.

    Yea. The GM in one of my games read that, read the description in the spell, and decided that you're not balancing if you make you're reflex save. That's not a balance roll after all. You're only balancing if you try to walk within or through the area So as long as the greased opponent stays...

    New Race: Gutterkin

    Cool! The one I had in my campaign (lightly modified the way I put it) seemed OK too. But it's too early to really tell, as there hasn't been any grappling or tripping. Of course, it's easy to see where he'll rank in a grapple, I don't even have to test that. But as for tripping... the...

    New Race: Gutterkin

    I went with a plain +4 to grapple. Easier to adjudicate. Plus, as I said before, you really can't "escape" from a grapple unless you manage to resist the grapple in the first place. So it would have to be +4 to resist and escape a grapple. (Otherwise if/when you escape, they simply regrapple...

    Rapid Shot, Flurry of Blows -- _____ for melee?

    But two weapon fighting IS one extra attack with all attacks at -2... Of course, it's not as limited as rapid shot, which can only be taken with certain weapon types... (Well, I'm assuming you can't use it with extra large siege engine ranged weapons) TWF allows you do this with even larger...
