(CSDGH) Demon with a Glass Hand [OOC]

Well, if it gets dispelled you can't recreate it.

Well, yeah. I thought of that. Is it worth that much of a price break compared to bracers, though?

What I'm getting at is that you can't really apply the spell level cost formula blindly and expect to come up with something balanced. Which is partly why this "if there is another way to handle the cost, use that" guideline exists.

Anyway, how is everyone's characters coming along? Who think they are "done" so-far?

Should Insight and I check this thread for updates requiring our response? Or are you going to contact us directly via email?

Well, I'm having a devil of a time coming up with a good Mantle combination for my character.

I also ordered Magic Item Compendium. I hope it gets here early next week and I can find something useful in it.

I think I'm done... I'm always open to suggestions about spells and inventory, but I'm pretty happy with what I have now. Lots of flexibility, but it all runs on spell slots, and/or daily charges, so she still has to be careful what she uses when...

I think I'm done at this point. I may add a description section, or I may just wait till the first in game post for that - either way, all the crunchy stuff is ready for you to check.

I believe I am done, I did make one more custom item:

Boots of Striding

Like Boots of Striding and Springing, these boots allow the wearer to move much quicker, but without the additional ability to jump further. This set are high boots made of thick, tough durable leather.

cost reverse engineered from the Boots of striding and springing:

2,500 +5 jump
3,000 (2,000 x 1.5) +10 Movement
5,500

Also, I am unsure whether Goliaths are considered to have Dark Vision. The are monstrous humanoids who get it by default, but the entry doesn't say one way or another. If Goliaths were a monster, they would be assumed to have it (since the entry doesn't say they don't, like the Elan for instance), but I can't tell.

 

[Psion]

Okay, having a lot of problems getting this concept off the ground.

Creamsteak, the Mind's Eye article here talks about customizing the Mantles:
http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/psm/20070629a
(Under "Substitute Powers")

Would you be okay with me tweaking some of these to fill out the mantles a bit?

Edit:
So far, I'm thinking:

Fate: Add Probability Mantle (Psion/Wilder 6, XPH page 106)
Natural World: Exchange Call Beast of the Id (Psion/Wilder 2, XPH) for Animal Affinity. This one's a bit weird in a normal game, but in the type of environment you are describing, I think it makes sense.

Also, is Animate Plants (Psionic) going to be of use in this setting? I'm hunting for a replacement for that if not.
