[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 7076153, member: 2012"] Okay, so back in the day, I ran a v.3.5 game that ended with Pcs around 18th-level. Now those PCs are going to be major background NPCs in a new pbp game. Unfortunately, I don't have access to the old PCs character sheets so much of what I'm going to create for them will be from memory. What I do have are some of the unique names the players came up with for the magic items, which gives me an idea of what they might have been. What I'm looking for is some advice on how best to balance out the following items... [B]Angelic Eyes[/B] (lenses of bright vision and eyes of eagle combined) [B]Bulwark Shield[/B] ([I]+3/+2 heavy mithral shield[/I]; the +2 is for use as a weapon) [B]Guardinal's Periapt[/B] (periapt of Wisdom +2 and periapt of proof against poison combined) [B]Inquisitor's Alterative Armlets[/B]* (inquisitors bracers and armband of maximized healing combined) [B]Instant Fortress Armor[/B] ([I]+5 adamantine moderate fortification full plate of calling[/I]) [B]Peacemaker[/B] (see below) [B]Shawl of Clouds[/B] (cape of the mountebank, cloak of Charisma +4, and scry shroud combined) [B]Throne of the Sun[/B] (phylactery of faithfulness, virtue, and undead turning combined) [B]Vestments of the Archon[/B] (shirt of angels, winged vest, and vest of resistance +3 combined [w/glamerweave**]) [B]Steadfast Boots of Striding and Springing[/B] (Steadfast Boots and Boots of Striding and Springing combined ) * My own idea ** In the Eberron Campaign Setting hardcover; +1 to Diplomacy. [B]Peacemaker[/B]: This sword is a [I]+5 holy merciful solarian truesteel longsword of divine wrath[/I]. It is an intelligent item with the following stats: Int 10, Wis 17, Cha 17; Alignment LG; Speech (Common), Telepathy; 120 ft. darkvision and hearing; Lesser Powers has 10 ranks in both Diplomacy and Sense Motive, can use detect magic at will; Greater Powers detect undead at will; Special Purpose > defend the servants and interests of Jalivier (major sub god); Dedicated Power > can use true resurrection on wielder, once per month; Ego 25.
