To be honest Brystasia’s sword whip would have to be considered her signature weapon. Anything else wouldn't be right to the character. I would be tempted to go with her armor but that's going to be replaced as it provides far to little protection.

You know what... Forget the above if we ever ascend I'm going to look like a blonde copy of Sune. I'll think of something else.

PA, Oh I found a weapon enchantment bonus that gives the user proficiency. It costs more than your way but I felt obligated to inform you. WoTC’s: Arms and Equipment (pg 97) Proficient +2 bonus)

PA, No big deal on the wait or the shortness of the post. (Hey just got the email. Most admit I agree with Tundraleaf on the subject.

FYI: Sandorel and Brystasia had that argument on the way to see Tundraleaf and probably would have ended it long before they got there, as Brystasia wouldn't waste Tundraleaf's time like that.

It can absorb up to five more spell levels. The true value is difficult to calculate; whether you'd rather have the spells already stored, or the absorptive capability, is subjective.

Clearly an item that has more charges is more valuable than an item that has a lesser number of charges left. If the rod has already absorbed at least 45 out of 50 spell levels its monetary value should be nearly halved. In my oppinion the ability to absorb spells is more valuable than the ability to cast them again.

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

total sale value for all items (including sword): 214,580

Okay math time.

Difference between 20th and 21st level character wealth: 215,000

Wealth from the auction and the platinum that the Seer had: 650,000
Above items at half value: 214,580
Each member would get: 172,916

Wealth from the auction and the platinum that the Seer had: 650,000
Above items at 3/4 value: 321,870
Each member would get: 194,374

Wealth from the auction and the platinum that the Seer had: 650,000
Above items at 4/5 value: 343,328
Each member would get: 198,665

Wealth from the auction and the platinum that the Seer had: 650,000
Above items at full value: 429,160
Each member would get: 215,832

Notes: We do not know how much the sword is truly worth.

Also we cannot expect to get full market value on the items outside of the party. If you take an item from the party group you going to have to "pay" the full amount. It's not really fair but it does lead to balance. Does everyone else agree with this?

At 4/5 the seller would make nearly 86K when he sold the items for full value. Not a bad days work to be honest but not very realistically either. Then again neither is the static value of magic items.

Maybe, but has to consider how and when one is casting the spell like If you’re grappled it could be incredibly valuable.

*LOL* I'll let Sanderol think upon it...

You I will inform though. Think "us" as in as in a couple and the fact that there will never be one if Sandorel can't come to terms with her faith.

And here I was quite proud of the line...

Sandorel probably got it, I'm the one who don't have Common as my first language. Some of the subtleties of english are sadly lost on me. :\
It was a good line, though, now when you have explained it to me.

Go with it then. As for English you do a far superior job than I could do in any language. As for subtleties of English there are way to many.

It was a good line, though, now when you have explained it to me.

Thanks.

Then Conan will take the Sword (at least 56k), the Bracers (64k), and 95,832 gold out of the party treasure (for a total of 215,832). 11,500 of his gold was spent on the griffon chick for Brystasia and 2200 gold was spent on appraising the sword. That would leave him with 82,132 gold income.

The other option for dividing treasure would be the old "classic D&D approach". Divide the gold five ways (130k each), then let everyone pick magic items. The players can then sell or keep their items at their option. This is actually my preferred approach because it is more realistic. Its hard to imagine that our characters have an agreed assessment value for different items, and that we all agree that certain items have a specific price.

I've seen that approuch many times, I've done that approuc many times also but I'm not sure that level 21 characters in the middle of a city with over a million citizens would need to resort to it though.

In a dungeon I would agree with you but in the middle of Waterdeep I see it vastly unrealistic.

Well the market value, and with the static nature of the DMG, would tell us how much they are worth.
