So a post in another forum got me to thinking about epic magic items and how they are priced. Here is an example and I'd like some feedback: Please note only enchantment prices are listed so dont' worry about the small cost of the masterwork weapon. Lets say I currently have a +5...

Err...not quite what I meant. If a +10 bonus is where the cutoff ends for non epic (bonus squared x 2000 for weapons) then think 11 x 11 x 2000 or 242,000gp and 11x11x1000 or 121,000gp for armor. The item is still non epic so stick with non epic price guidelines or normal pricing even though...

I've got no clue on the first. My first thought is as long as it doesn't exceed the standard +10 gp cost your fine. Although you could do it so that as long as it doesn't exceed a non epic +11 cost (getting creative here) then you're okay. As for #2 I'd go with just a straight x2 cost...

Ok..tables make more sense now and that's cool. I like the way you did the bonuses for them. As for the knowledge skills: Yes some are going to seem better choices than other but as the DM you have the counter to that and can choose what monsters to throw at your party. Plus while your...

While this Dwarf vs Elf debate is educational for me and i'm sure everyone else I have to giggle at how far off topic it is. Good analysis though StreamOfTheSky..I'll try and give xp for it

Thanks for correction...I thought I was a little off but really didn't feel like spending an hour looking it up. And 14/16 from memory is still pretty good :D

Maybe I misread it but the section on where you make a knowledge check and then use the table is confusing. I don't understand it. is it just a formatting issue? Do I really need to roll a 55 or better to get a bonus to outsiders? Also I disagree with how you have your monsters grouped...

A few campaigns ago our DM threw a lich at us (he was nasty..actually took a piece of my soul) and his phlactory was actually his tower. It was a living crystal stuff that constantly repaired itself. Inside was 13 levels of all kinds of nasty constructs, undead, living spells, traps, and...

Reread the spell more carefully. It turns into a statue of rock salt (not quite the same as what we use to salt our food..close but not quite and therefore not as valuable either). Also the players would have to take the time to process the body into a useable form by grinding it all up into...

In Savage Species the Ghaele gets this as part of its Protective aura at level 10 (7HD) So 4th level seems appropriate for a minor globe that is focused on the castor and moves with them. Its also as a 20' radius on the ghaele at this level too. Just showing an example of something already in...

Well the point was to show how the stat system works, not to lose your entire party and play your all powerful caster by yourself. But I guess we all have fun in different ways right?

Maybe this will shed some light on the subject. I'm not saying this is what the author intended its just my opinion on why this system works and is "balanced" in the DMG. Ok first off throw out this idea that one class is better than another (i hate this idea to the core). In WotC world...

airwalkrr Monsters as PCs is a great campaign and opens up a lot of options for them. And your players may not choose to be monsters. After all they are giving up quite a few levels of a class to be a monster but in exchange getting some cool new special abilities and usually a nice boost to...

Just about any WotC source in print whether I have it or not but player must present a copy of it to me. Most Mongoose Publishing 3.0 and 3.5 sourcebooks. And all the Sword and Sorcery Studios Ghelspad/Termana campaign setting and sourcebooks (this is where my campaigns take place). Magic...

Transmuting is looking like a good option. The DM wasn't too thrilled with Wrathful Healing that I really wanted. Something about me doing too much damage (normal attacks do over 200 points of damage and crits can break 1000 on average rolls). I'd rather not get over a +10 total enchantment...

This is modeled after the current build I am using in a Gestalt Campaign for my toon which is as follows Fire Giant 20/Fighter20 Monster of Legend 2/Warhulk 2. The build is simple using a straight 20 level fighter progression. Fit the feats in as Soon as you can. Should be plenty to go...

kitcik I've never heard of Wrathful Healing but after finding it its an enchant I've been looking for. Thanks a million. Most of the other enchants are circumstantial though which I'm not big on. If I'm going to spend the money I want a constant enchant that will work all the time against...

Ok so that looks like a better enchant for ranged weapons. What about Melee? frankthedm And the Speed enchant is easy to get and always there. So instead of speed what would you enchant a melee weapon with for a +3?

I've read somewhere of feats that allow you to craft wands and potions of up to level 9. I"m pretty sure they are in 3rd party books though (not form WotC). They use the existing item creation rules its just a couple feats that allow you to create wands with spells 4-6, then another feat for...

I've read on a couple of different forum posts about the speed enchant being a poor choice for a weapon enchant. While I personally think its great perhaps this is just due to my choice in how I build my toons. So I want to know why this is a poor choice? Please keep comments respectful to...
