[QUOTE="genshou, post: 2936820, member: 13164"] I'm still working on actually writing it up before I start my Sunday night game, but I'm thinking for background that Anesha belongs to one of the twelve noble houses of the Empire. Distant cousin, heiress to the noble house... I'm not sure how far I/you want me to go with that. One way or another, she's a part of one of the noble houses. She didn't spend most of her youth at court, though. Oh, no. I have some more nefarious things to throw into her background... :] As far as equipment goes, I have two unusual requests. The first is that I want to give her the Masked Soul tradition feat that goes with the "Ragesian Inquisitors", and gaining the benefits of the feat requires crafting a soul mask worth 100gp. The second request is that I would like to have her in possession of an item that she crafted at the end of her training. I want her staff to be a charged item with Heal Life 0 to restore one die of hit point damage. Instead of tracking charges I was wondering if I could use an [URL=http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=150760]alternate mechanic[/URL] (it might be good to at least skim through the whole thread to see how it works, see post #62 and onward for the platonic solids method I would want to use). I was playing around with it last night and several times with the d12 wand got 9-20 charges, but then suddenly out of the blue one of them rolled 77 charges before expiring. In general, that's not going to happen, since the odds of going below 30 are greater than the odds of going above 30, but when it does go above 30 sometimes it does so very significantly. I think it'd be more fun to go with that than to track charges. As far as cost goes, I would want spell completion, so it's 2.5gp per "effective charge", meaning market price (effectively what I'd be "paying" at character creation) would be: d4: 10gp d6: 25gp d8: 45gp d12: 75gp d20: 125gp I'm hoping for d12 if that's not too expensive. That way I'm very unlikely to get less than 10 uses out of it. Besides, the d12 needs to see more use. ;) [/QUOTE]
