[QUOTE="Skaros, post: 445280, member: 1401"] Hi, My wife is playing a Dwarven lvl 1/5/1 Fighter/Wizard/Artificer (thanks Wulf). She took the Attune Gem feat from Magic of Faerun, feeling it was appropriate for her dwarf's personality, and love for gems. Its a little unclear to me how gems can and CAN'T be activated, which seems to be the primary limitation of this form of item crafting. It specifically states you can have a gem: activate when a physically describable creature comes within 5 feet of it, when touched, or the artificer can activate it on purpose. Their example is a gem of Prot. from Evil that activates when an outside comes within 5 feet of it, and affects whoever is holding/wearing the gem. How would, say, a Gem of Feather Fall work? Can you specify that the gem will go off when you fall more than 5 feet? Is it more flexible than the specific 3 ways it mentions gems can be activated? Is it a standard action for the artificer to activate a gem on purpose...even though one way to have them activated is by touch? Any corrections or clarifications been posted on this through sage advice? Thanks for the discussion, Skaros [/QUOTE]
