[QUOTE="Sylvaroth, post: 4726618, member: 20295"] Nice to hear you like it. Some example encounters: [LIST=1] [*][B]Battlefield Control[/B] (Easy level 3 encounter for lvl5 PCs) 1x124.8 gp (lvl3 controller) + 6x60.8 gp (lvl1 skirmishers) [*][B]Double Line[/B] (Hard level 18 encounter for lvl 15 PCs) 4x2.7k gp (lvl17 minions) + 3x6k gp (lvl 15 soldiers) + 2x7.6k gp (lvl16 artillery) + 1x10.8k gp (lvl17 controller) [*][B]Dragon's Den[/B] (Standard level 26 encounter for lvl 25 PCs) 1x855k gp (lvl26 solo) [/LIST] [SIZE="1"][i]Minions = 1/4 Standard Component Value Elites = 2x Standard Component Value Solos = 5x Standard Component Value[/i][/SIZE] Take the gp-value of harvestable components as a guideline for their use as components in rituals, the enchantment of magic items, etc. Now you can send your players to slay monsters and bring the obtained components to a master crafter. Take the level 16 troll encounter as an example: Skinning the two war trolls (lvl 14 soldiers) earns the party trollskin worth the equivalent of 8.8k gp. Subtract that amount off the 25k a [I]+3 trollskin armor[/I] would normally cost and they get a 15th level magic item with a 35% discount. If that is too mundane for you, remember the [I]horn of the rare red minotaur[/I] (DMG 3.5, p. 36), which was needed to cast [I]greater restoration[/I] without any XP costs for the caster. You could even decide to use the [I]Enchant Magic Item[/I]-ritual to create disposable items. For example, the enchanted claw of a slaughter wight could drain and store a limited number of healing surges to be used in the casting of rituals. Example: [B][U]Talisman of the Slaughter Wight[/U] Level X[/B] [I]This gruesome talisman resembles the leathery claw of an undead creature.[/I] [B]Item Slot:[/B] Neck [B]Power (Daily):[/B] When you drop an enemy to 0 hit points or fewer with a critical hit the talisman stores 1 healing surge. The talisman can store up to 5 healing surges. [B]Special:[/B] Whenever a power or ritual requires you to spend a healing surge, you can instead use a healing surge stored in the talisman. After all five healing surges have been drained, the talismane shriveles and crumbles to dust. Requires the casting of [I]Enchant Magic Item[/I] performed on the hand of a Slaughter Wight. [/QUOTE]
