EPG Excerpt: Rituals

[frankthedm]

Fliud funds seems useful, but the DM in me can't quite wrap my head around its logic. Where do the coins come from? And are they even legal tender? Do they raise suspiscion in local authorities, you know that kind of thing.

I suppose it's faster than visiting the moneychanger, but it's definitely something that hurts verisimilitude.

I'd much prefer an Infernal Moneychanger ritual.

This is Eberron, House Kundarak has lockboxes at local branches that teleport things back to the central bank for safe storage. Consider the coffer something similar (but cheaper) to that.

Additionally, you require the Mark of Warding (also from House Kundarak) to do it, so the person doing it is a moneychanger.

I would be forced to speculate that it is a "creation" ritual so that you can cast it with the Warsmith and similar backgrounds.

Better use for the coffer: Place a platinum piece in, shake it a few times, then yell "Yahtzee!" and spray copper pieces everywhere.

More fun: Put an astral diamond in there, and convert it to copper. TIDAL WAVE!

It'd be like the Eberron version of the Decanter of Endless Water!

I see, that makes a bit more sense.

On closer examination, this would "only" be around 36 cubic feet of copper, if solid. We can probably double that to 72 due to the shape of the coins. Certainly a lot, but hardly Money Bin level.

Yeah, not a fan of this ritual or the Platinum Pouch from AV.

 

[Orius]

It looks like it makes sense within the context of an Eberron campaign, but it's not something I'd want to see used outside it without some amount of tweaking.

Technically, since it's tied to the Mark of Warding, it can't show up outside of Eberron, unless you introduce dragonmarks into your game.

 

[brehobit]

I really like the mark. Powerful (maybe too powerful if the +1 bonus works when your power affects other people), but nicely done. What do you give up for a dragon mark, do we know yet?
