[QUOTE="MulhorandSage, post: 685738, member: 751"] Just a slight clarification, Broc. Thanks to your question, the DM has ruled that Ascarin and his sister both possess "Magic Tablets" to transmit letters between each other. I don't have a ruling from the DM on the exact specifics, but I'd suggest creating an object with the following properties: [b]Sembian Stêlôsis[/b] Despite the name, this item actually originated in ancient Chondath, where it was used by bureaucrats to pass imperial documents between each other and maintain official sanction - and for spies to pass messages between each other without being scryed. The Stêlôsis is a frame of metal, into which one places sheets of parchment or (originally) a clay tablet. Once per day, a writer can give a verbal command end magically send whatever's written on the page from one Stêlôsis to another; the writing vanishes from the parchment and appears instantly on a piece of parchment that's been placed into the other Stêlôsis. The writing remains on the other parchment until it is read aloud, then it vanishes. Only one message may be sent per day. The message cannot be longer than 2,500 words and must be written letters: pictures and maps are not transmitted between the two Stêlôsis. Every Stêlôsis has a mate, and only the two Stêlôsis can communicate with each other; a person cannot write to another Stêlôsis except to the one that's mated to it. As a consequence, both Stêlôsis must be created at the same time and "mated" as part of the creation process. Only two Stêlôsis may be mated. If one is destroyed, the other becomes useless. Significant transcription errors may crop up when the two Stêlôsis are more than seven hundred miles apart, and the devices cease to function beyond a range of twelve hundred miles. [i]Caster Level[/i]: 14th; [i]Prerequisites[/i]: Craft Wondrous Item, [i]sending, vanish[/i]; [i]Market Price[/i]: 36,400 gp; [i]Weight[/i]: 1 lb. Scott Bennie ---- Coming in April, [i]Testament[/i], the game of Biblical role-playing by Green Ronin. [/QUOTE]
