[QUOTE="Henry, post: 1896722, member: 158"] I'm loving these ideas, and if anyone else wishes to contribute, so much the better! A running comment: [B]Darkness[/B] - an Eberron Artificer is a rogue-like class that uses Use Magic Device to emulate class prerequisites, and hence can make and use almost any magic item, whether it be Wizard, Cleric, Druid, Paladin, Ranger, etc. Caster level and type of item are restricted by level, since they aren't casters, per se, and can't actually take any of the Item Creation feats until they become higher level. This artificer, due to his amazingly high UMD score, won't have any problem with magic items, and could in theory make any item that a 12th level caster could. [B]Pielorinho[/B] & [B]Blargny[/B]- To quote the Simpsons, Yoink! [B]Rel[/B] - I'm really going to think about those Neural Bombs. They, or something like them, sound too good to ignore. Given the nature of the Mournland, don't know if I can put the basecamp on the ground idea into action - think of the Nine Hells, but with a cloud ceiling and aberrations instead of brimstone and devils. [B]Old One[/B] - in Eberron are "manifest zones", places where the walls between certain planes are "thinner" - and characteristics of the plane leak out. I extended the concept and invented temporary Manifest zones, where during certain planar orbits in the multiverse, these zones spring up for a few months and then vanish for long periods. This artifact was built specifically to channel the characteristic forces from a plane and manifest them, much like a lens, so it has to be in the zone to channel that type of energy. The larger the effect you want, the artifact has to be in place and soaking up energy, kind of like a battery on an alternator, and the manifest zone is the alternator. The PCs faced it one time, from afar, when their Young adult dragon ally they were riding got shot for 20d20 damage from a flame-strike-like blast channeled from the Positive Plane. They have an idea of what the thing does, and don't want to get hit again, which means they will probably aim for stealth instead of sailing up and blasting away. I like the feeding off ambient magic idea, because it will definitely make the battle more uncertain. Blargney - Moon Wraith adept? I need to look them up, since I don't have that source. OTOH, PCGen has this book permissioned from Green Ronin. Maybe I'll look into that, because it would definitely fit some of these druids. BTW, the Children of Winter are Vermin-friendly druids who believe that the World must go through a Blighting winter of Death before it can Bloom again - perfect for what Wacky Warforged has in mind. Coyote6 - Thought about the Hit points - it's why he's going to be packing a maxxed-out Vigor manifestation every chance he gets, which almost doubles his hit points... :) Any others? And thanks to all in advance! [/QUOTE]
