[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 4977974, member: 710"] Books. Or a computer with a lot of books and a copy of Wikipedia and any other online archive there might be. The computer thing might be tough to grasp for a fantasy hero (or not, it's just some kind of magic). What you need is the ability to get all the advancements of our world to the fantasy world and recreate them there. This means you need all there is to know about it. It doesn't even have to be about weapons or cars. Knowledge about biology and agriculture can be useful enough already. Knowing about the theories of evolution or just Mendel's genetics could help peasants a lot to create more sustainable crops and breed better farm animals. If no one takes you on it, just build your own farm and sell the seed, your knowledge will be put to good use regardless of whether people understand it or not. If the wizard can recharge it, an electric car would probably be cool to take with you. Of course, this doesn't solve the issue of maintenance. Maybe a [I]Make Whole[/I] spell will do that just fine though. But it might be great to also know how to produce electricity on your own, so a generator and maybe the blueprints for a generator (and the blueprints for the tools required to create them, and the blueprints for the tools required to create the tools?) would be cool. Weapons are always welcome to our Hack & Slash heroes. Any Rifle or Pistol will prove useful, but you also have to know how to create the bullets and maintain the weapon. The weapons might even be enchantable later. After all, if all the magic of the party still works on Earth, it stands to reason it will also help enchanting stuff. [/QUOTE]
