Magic Item Compendium

[Bayushi Seikuro]

Yes, Belt of One Mighty Blow is in the book (p74)

Yes, the layout takes some getting used to for sure.

And to whoever clarified my comment re: the number of items you start with. I knew doubling didn't sound right.

Magic weapons are at level 6, magic armor is at level 4. Also, one thing I thought was cool was that used wands were addressed in here; a wand with 10 charges of magic missile, for example, is level 1.

Aren't the new single-form polymorph spells new in SC?

Originally from Dragon Magazine, IIRC.

Out of curiosity, are there rules to prevent or discourage crafters from simply completing a set of magic items when they receive one item from the set?

So, I've only glanced through this at a bookstore and not got it yet. I couldn't tell on a brief look-over: Is there any overlap with the DMG magic items or do they only appear in the treasure generation tables?

No. They turned up in Dragon Magazine. It's a miniatures-related article, which is why I remember it. All the polymorph spells in SC turn you into an existing miniatures from the first 4 sets.

Cheers!

I didn't see any rules about NOT crafting the rest of the set once you have a piece; in fact, they talk about how to make the remaining pieces.

I plan on making people either go after the other pieces if they want them, or else, the set benefits will be drastically lower; I mean, part of the effect from sets - although it might be more from Diablo flavor-text - is that the powers 'rubbed off' from being used by great heroes and villains.

The Lore section for set items gives a DC for knowing about them. I'd assume you'd have to learn a bit before you could make the remaining pieces. If like many groups you grant instant knowledge of all items, their creation prereqs, and powers when someone learns the craft feat, the lore limitation may not work.

My FLGS doesn't have it yet. I gave up and ordered it from Amazon. It got sent out the next day, and should be here tomorrow or the next day.

 

[James McMurray]

I went to my FLGS and he said it wasn't being released until Tuesday and he'd have them Friday. I went to Waldenbooks and they had 4 copies out.

IIRC, PHB2 is post-SC. The source of the SC spells is the Dragon article.

Cheers!
