[AU] Lost Dreams [Closing Down]

[DrSpunj]

Hope you don't mind me placing you in the Stone Troll when the other characters enter.

Not at all, I was hoping to be dropped right into the middle of things to get underway. I'm also glad I didn't miss anything with Kalythar's write-up and thought about reducing some of the dire/MW components for more magical stuff, but this just seemed to fit Kalythar better. He makes his own magic!

A few random thoughts before I forget:

* I was really impressed with some of the magic items you were handing out to the others, then found them as the third batch on AU's website, so I have to sheepishly admit I wasn't nearly as impressed anymore.
It was only last night as I was handing some of those out in my D&D 3.5 game that I realized YOUR name was at the top of that entire third batch of items, so I'm back to being impressed and wanted to let you know I really liked the items there. My D&D party just hit 4th level and I was very excited to be able to give them some useful goodies that didn't push the wealth levels out of whack. Thanks!

* I really like the spellcaster multiclassing system as well. It makes a lot of sense. I am interested in seeing the Excel sheet you mention, to play around with the tables a bit, so when you get a chance please email it to me. I agree with your reasoning though and probably won't change the tables.

* Would you mind editing your first post in the Story thread to include Kalythar in the character list?

* There was something else but I can't remember it right now. Hmmm....

Thanks.

DM items

Ring of the Frost Wraiths: This dark blue ring feels very cold to the touch, those who possess it often only put it on when they have need of its powers. 1/day when commanded too (command word 'Sunder the Strong' in Auran) the wearers hand momentarily glows with a deep malevolent blue before discharging in a streaking ray of cackling blue energy. The being struck feels their strength drain in numbing cold and takes 1d4 points of damage +1 point of Strength damage if they fail a Fortitude save, as a cold blast.
Faint Evocation; Caster Level: 1; Craft Constant Item, cold blast; Price: 400gp.

Mask of Secrets: This mask is made of a dark redish-purple cloth that feels very soft to the touch. A small rune is embroidered into the forehead of the mask depicting an open eye in bright orange thread. When this mask is put on it allows the user to spot doors and such things that have been concealed from view, as detect secret doors. The wearer must concentrate to reveal the information he seeks and may do so for up to 1 minute. Once the wearer finished using it, the mask becomes tattered and ripped, powerless.
Faint Divination; Caster Level: 1; Craft Single Use Item, detect secret doors; Price: 100gp;

3 Minor Poultices: when you apply these herbs to a wound, they help the healing process as transfer wounds(lesser). 1d10+1 hit points of damage are converted to half that amount of subdual damage.
Faint Transmutation; Caster Level 1th; Craft Single-Use Item, transfer wounds(lesser); Price: 50gp. (*3=150gp)

36gp

In reference to the excel sheets I am not sure what you mean. The .doc file that I linked on the first page is not my work, so if you are refering to the files the author mentions I am afraid that I do not have them. In that case though I am going with the charts he shows there as opposed to more agressive ones that he developed.

I am really glad to hear that you liked the magic items, hope these ones work for you too. I was really touched that you choose to use my items in your RL campaign

If you think of anything else just let me know.

Great. I've added them to the gallery write-up.

Oops! Sorry, I didn't read things closely enough to realize that wasn't your work. I like the charts he's chosen, too, though I'm not anxious to multiclass with Kalythar.

They just received them, and I need to give them the mechanics of the magic since we're playing a 3.5 game, but they were just what I was looking for. One of the 4 players is an old-timer who's so far unfamiliar with AU. By using magic items, spells, villains using AU classes, etc. I'm able to keep all four of them on even-footing, so to speak.

I also very much appreciate that the rules in AU allow me to choose from a plethora of low cost items. In Core the earliest levels are limited to scrolls, potions, and the occasional Feather Token or two, of course. I find that really lame. Your items I can introduce at very low levels and inject some mystery into my game because none of the players are familiar with them.

They're perfect! Just please email me any additional ones you pound out, please!

There was a file on diamondthrone.com that Eric Noah did up that calculates all of the prices for the magic items. It of course doesnt have any of the flavor that the items I made up have, but it has a huge number of items just waiting to be dropped into a campaign.

Let me see if i can get a direct link: http://www.diamondthrone.com/displaycontent.cfm?iCatId=3&iConID=51

Wow. I missed that one. Thanks!

It's a wonderful list. Eric must really be into AU, given the spell tracking sheet he modified and the other stuff he's done.

Cool!

 

[Erekose13]

Yeah and he is really good with the excel sheets. there are quite a few of his on the diamond throne site, very useful stuff.

 

[SubMensa]

Sorry for the wait if you guys were waiting on me, I just wanted to make sure everyone had a chance to respond.

 

[Erekose13]

No problem Submensa. I plan on posting about once every 2 days or so. I will post in responce to who ever has posted in between. I find that for out of combat situations it is not always necessary to wait for everyone else, unless you are speaking directly too them. In combat I will wait for each person to post their round.

out of town

Hey, I'm out of town this weekend, and probably offline. I'll try to check in if I can find a net connection, but it seems doubtful.

 

[Erekose13]

not a problem thanks for letting us know, have a great weekend.
