[QUOTE="Jemal, post: 5548667, member: 9026"] Neph : the sources I've seen grafts in state a limit of 5. Also they replace the current body part and almost all of them are tied to a specific location (Meaning you can't usually have multiples taking up the same location, like with magic items.. You can't replace your heart with a dragons heart AND a fiends heart, for example.. unless you naturally have two hearts...) As far as permanent antimagic field, I know of a few ways to gain it but I'm not sharing for a couple big reasons. A: Antimagic field is the least party-friendly ability I can think of B: It's most useful function is when the character using it is designed specifically to function IN an antimagic field, at which point it's horrendously broken unless you're facing another being designed to function in antimagic. (Same reason I hate the Collosus or Death Magic.. I despise "All or Nothing" encounters) Neither of these is conducive to fun gaming IMO. And no, we're not allowed to use the item creation rules, just existing items and Item stacking, with no repeat items (So no buying 20 "X/day" items). Not sure if he meant that to apply to things like wands/potions, though, or just the more abusable stuff like all the times/day equipment from Magic Item Compendium. Wilphe - If you plan on your followers being a Magic Item factory don't forget a couple things. A: Followers with character levels count as 2 lvls higher (So an 8th lvl Sorceror, Wizard, or Cleric would take up the slot of a 10th lvl follower). B: Item creation requires feats and XP, and you would have to run it all by the DM, figuring out how much XP each follower has. C: Followers are people too, and are going to want some reason/compensation for supplying you with cheap gear at the expenditure of their life force(XP) and time. Also, Hobgoblins may be on the lesser side of what you should expect from a LA+1, but +4 stat mods, Darkvision, and +4 move silent is still worth a level. They're no Feral or Half-Ogre, but Hobs are still worth their LA... barely. [/QUOTE]
