The archon can also command its trumpet to become a +4 greatsword as a free action.

312,850 Baldraga’s Shifting Armor: Baldraga was a powerful succubus, who wore this armor until she was slain by the group. It’s form will shift on mental command from the wearer, from a beautiful gown to a murky silvered appearance that almost seems to blend into the background. It is eerily silent when it moves. It almost seems like a liquid over the wearers body as it shifts to accommodate movement, leaving no weaknesses in the armor to exploit. Additionally it augments the wearers appearance to such a degree that anyone who tries to attack them must make a save vs. a DC11 or be charmed as charm person if a human or animal and a DC17 versus or be charmed as Charm Monster if anything else. Anyone who successfully attacks her gains a +4 to the save.

688,000 Trumpet: This six foot long silvery trumpet allows the use of the Trumpet ability of the Trumpet Archon, but in someone else’s hands it is a useless lump of metal. As a free action a trumpet archon can change it into a +6 Great Sword.

54,000 Glasses of True Sight: These normal looking glasses let any who wear them see the world as it truly is. (Continuous effect: True sight)*

75,000 Sacred Prayer Book: A small book containing divine prayers for protection. It‘s mere possession grants protection against physical attacks (+5 Sacred Bonus to Armor Class) *

*Self Made

Appearance: Publicly she appears as a tallish elf with long curly golden hair and a pale complexion via the disguise feature of her circlet. As most elves, her face is unlined by age, she appears to be in her late teens or early twenties. She is breathtakingly beautiful, but when wearing her armor she becomes “Beauty incarnate” as one of her admirers called her. In her true form she looks much the same, her completion turns green and her hair takes on a darker green color. Two great white feathered wings come from her back.

It is important to note she has a strong emotional effect on those around her. She is supernaturally beautiful (Charming armor), Gives a sense of security and protection for those around her (Aura of courage and circle of protection from evil), Frightening those who are hostile to her (aura of menace). When adventuring has the Greater Aura of Courage up which inspires her allies to such a degree that it makes them immune to fear and makes them attack better.

Personality: Despite her power, Talariel is quite young, especially for the celestials. She has a tendency to be fascinated by things others would consider mundane. Her sometimes childlike glee about things makes her appear very young. However, she is still a celestial and even among the celestials she is considered wise.

She has a tendency to mother the rest of the party, tending to torn clothing, making sure they have places to stay, making sure they have brought enough food, managing the mundane necessities of the adventuring life.

She is also kind of a neat freak, meticulous about cleanliness and organization. You all know well the clucking of her tongue when someone has left a mess in camp.

 

[Wrahn]

A couple of things, on the skills I assumed the Ride skill listed on the Trumpet Archon's list was a typo and they actually meant Hide as it makes no sense they would have ride as a skill and do have move silently.

Secondly. I am wondering about this:

Bracers of Greater Magic: +4 Caster levels: 240,000

The price is based on the the Orange Prism which costs 30,000 and gives +1 caster level. I halved the 30,000 for 15,000 because it doesn't take up an item slot and then took the +4 squared times 15,000.

This may be too powerful, so I thought I would run it past you first.

Of and one more thing, If I purchased several scrolls of wish and had one of our arcane types grant inherent bonuses to our impoverished paladin, would that break the spirit of the vow of poverty?

Hide skill is okay. For the Bracers, anything above a +3 is an epic item (as it exceeds 200,000 gold in price), and as such costs 10 times as much, so 2.4 million. If you purchase the scrolls with your own money, you can may do so; the Vow of Poverty allows the vower to accept one-time item use, and I'll extend that to allow one-time permanent items. He, of course, cannot purchase any items for himself.

Just how many were you thinking? I think it may be straining the bounds of credibility for Lachlan to allow Talariel to spend hundreds of thousands of gp on his behalf.

 

[Wrahn]

Well, somewhere less than 22.

I will have some money left over, I am pretty much happy with where my character sits and I still have half a million gold to spend. Depending on what is left, I am thinking somewhere around 10.

Speaking in character:

"Now don't be difficult," she clucks her tongue indicating, in fact, you are being difficult, "You rely on the forces of good to provide, I am a force of good and I am providing."

 

[Jemal]

I've got a few questions to ask..

First, RE:

all but the most expensive secondary function on an item costs twice as much as normal.

So is that instead of the usual X1.5 from the DMG? IE, if I made a Belt of Nat. Armour+5/Con+6, would it cost 104,000 (from DMG), or 122,000 (using X2 for secondary function)?

Second, anything over 200K is epic, and Epic items are X10 cost, correct?

So, does that mean that if I combine multiple abilities to one item and that takes it over 200K, would I ALSO multipy it by 10? (that don't make sense to me, but wondering what u think.) Or is that just for singular functions that would normally be over 200K? I'm thinking it's the second one, b/c the Staff of Power has multiple powers and costs over 200K but isn't epic, 'technically'

I need to know both of the above before I can complete my equipment list, as they apply to a couple items i want.

A Ring that combines Wizardy 1(20K), 2(40K), 3(70K), 4(100K) + Energy Resistance(Greater) of all 5 energy types(44K each)

Ring of Fast Healing(300K), Protection +5(50K), and The Ram(8.6K)

A Robe combining Robe of Arch-magi(75K) and Robe of Eyes(120K)

Helm combining Helm of Telepathy(27K) and Hat of Disguise(1.8K)

Belt of Nat Armour+5(50K) And Constitution+6(36K)

Gloves of Dexterity+6(36K) and Storing(10K each glove, so 20K)

----------

OK, that's those out of the way, now for other stuff.
I also have a few items I'ld like that I 'made' using the DMG guidelines at the back, are they allright with you?

Medallion of Luck:
+5 luck bonus to AC(62.5K - Bonus Squared X 2,500 for 'AC bonus, other')
+5 luck bonus to Saves(50K - Bonus Squared X 2,000 for 'save bonus, other')
+6 Wisdom(36K - as Periapt),
Proof against Detection/Location(27K - As Amulet)

Total price - Depends on answers to above questions, anywhere from 232,000 (If non-epic and X1.5) to 2,885,000 (If Epic and X2)

Greater Winged Boots:
Fly, use-activated/continuous (72K - Spell Lvl 3 X caster lvl 6 X 2,000 GP, X 2 for spell duration of Min/lvl)


ALso, you said in an earlier post that items we could create are purchased at 60% of market price... SO since I have the Craft Wondrous Item feat, does that mean any wondrous Item I buy that I could create, I only pay 60% for? (IE most of the above, etc)

 

[Wynter Wolf]

ok my character idea has changed i now have a Wiz10/LoreMaster20 I will post it tommorrow so it can be looked at.

I keep forgetting that they changed that rule in 3.5; given what can be done with it at x2, I think I will keep it at double cost, rather than 1.5x cost. An item is only epic if a single power would cost over 200,000, or requires an epic feat, skill, or caster level to create. If you can cast every spell that would be a requirement for an item, then you can create it, and get the price break. For luck bonuses, Wish or Miracle is the prerequisite.

 

[Endur]

If you are looking for another player, I would be interested in playing a Dragon PC.

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

I believe that, with Velmont's withdrawal, we still have six players and Phoenix as the first alternate; that puts you second on the alternates list.
