Say I have a party of 5 2nd level characters that I have awarded 4500 gp worth of treasure to over the course of them adventuring from 1st to 2nd level. They spend that treasure to make 9000 gp worth of magic items (or 1800 gp each). They are normal 2nd level characters and are balanced with...

Yeah, sure. Scrolls copied from someone else's spellbook represent an increase in the value of the spellbook thus an increase in character wealth and a decrease in "cash on hand or other trade value" thus a decrease in character wealth; giving an overall increase. If the fighter has "Keen" and...

So crafted magic items, weapons, armor, etc. would not count for wealth? Only if the treasure was found? So characters need to partition their items by found, given/made? How about used? If a potion or scroll is used; is it still considered wealth if it was found? An enchanted sword that was...

To Irdreggman: None of what I posted was House Rules. The six spells are found spells, i.e. on a scroll. These are in addition to the free spells that a 5th level wizard would get (which would be 8 spells not 6). The free spells are figured into the numbers for worth, not cost and are figured...

Learning a spell and scribing it into your spellbook are two different things. and Since when does 24 hours and 8 hours equal the same thing? It does not say "one day" which could be construed to mean an 8-hour work-day, but it says 24 hours which would be 3 8-hour work-days. Four days per...

Wizard's spellbooks have always been a pet peeve of mine. For Example: 16 Intelligence, 5th level generalist wizard, found 2-1st level spells, 3-2nd level spells, 1-3rd level spell to add to spellbook. Always added highest level spells he could cast as free spells each level. Spellbook Worth...

I just meant that if the bracers were priced as armor bonuses, who wouldn't be wearing them? Ciao Dave

Whereas actual armor bonuses cost: +1: 5 gp +2: 10 gp +3: 15 or 25 gp +4: 50 or 100 gp +5: 150 or 200 gp +6: 200 or 250 gp +7: 600 gp +8: 1,500 gp ignoring sizes other than Small or Medium, shapes other than humanoid, special materials, and the masterwork quality. Ciao Dave

At Notmousse: What is the cap for Devoted Skills?

Hmmm. Seems thorough. Good work. I will be using at least part of this (attitude mods for Bluff checks, specifically). I prefer role-playing with the Dip check as a mod to the performance myself (house rule). One thing I noted was that under in the section on "Fanatic," you say an 89 is...

What type of activation method does boots of speed use? Ciao Dave

Ignore the quote from the SRD if you want. It still applies as an example of what the maximum distance is for Spot checks to notice the nearby presence of others, by terrain type. Listed in the SRD. Ciao Dave

Really? Then This also is not being discussed. But the maximum distance for normal vision is being discussed. And I found it in the SRD. Ciao Dave

The Mage Hand spell is also Concentration duration, meaning: spend a standard action to continue operating the hand each round and then a move action to move it up to 15 feet. Unless he has two standard actions a round, concentrating on Mage Hand and operating a Wand is a no-no. Ciao Dave

In an earlier edition there was a table that listed the maximum distances things could be spotted according to their size, contrast, and distance. Some things far away could be seen but few details could be made out. For example: (note that these numbers are made up and are not from this...

How do you start an encounter?

It is important to note that Stilled Silent spells and spells without somatic and verbal components can't be identified with the Spellcraft check. As a house rule, I have added manipulation of material and focus components to that list for the Spellcraft check to identify a spell being cast...

There is also the psionic feat: PSIONIC CHARGE [PSIONIC] You can charge in a crooked line. Prerequisite: Dex 13, Speed of Thought. Benefit: To use this feat, you must expend your psionic focus. When you charge, you can make one turn of up to 90 degrees during your movement. All other...

You are not required to use only normal vision to use Spot and Search checks. A Spot check using darkvision has the same penalties "by the foot*" as normal vision. *Actually by every 10 feet. Extraordinary abilities are not magical. They do not go away in an antimagic field. They can't be...

Your original conversion (elemental beholder) needs just one more modification. In the Epic Level Handbook, we learn that synergies increase with each additional 20 ranks in a skill. So, at 5 ranks the synergies are +2 but at 25 ranks they are +4 and at 45 ranks they are +6, etc. So Spellcraft...
