[QUOTE="Shard O'Glase, post: 267548, member: 1134"] I don't have the EH, but here is a minor nitpick about the +100-200 spellcraft items mentioned. The +100 someone said would cost 2,000,000 and I think the +200 would be 8,000,000. Now unless they cheapened the xp cost of magic item creaiton that would be 80,000 and 320,000 xp respecitvely. Now unless they changed the xp needed for advancement that would mean you'd have to be a 80th - or 320th level character to have a chance to make one of these items. In other words yeah right you'll see one in your games. Now at the low end you could see the +100 total bonus like maybe a +30 and a couple other bonuses etc and bang you got +100 but a single +100 item I don't think we will see. And by the way yes the rules sound lame. I saw some epic spells in a dragon and they were decidedly un-epic, paying ex, and GP for spells that are frequently weaker than 9th level spells, and almost always are weaker than metamagiced spells of 10th+ level just isn't worth it. And if it does follow the spells and magic system of 2nd edition then they took ideas from a lame source those rules for 10th level spells sucked for the same reasons. [/QUOTE]
