Of Wealth and Taste [OOC] [Accepting Alts]

[Eluvan]

Looking nice Ferrix. 'Nock's right on his points though, and also sadly the gloves of the Psuedo-Magician cost much more than you have paid. Most expensive ability is the Use Magic Device bonus, whihc costs 10,000gp alone (10 squared x100gp). Then for each additional ability, the total price is doubled according to the guidelines on p.285 of the DMG.... meaning a total cost of 10,000 x2 = 20,000 x2 = 40,000 x2 = 80,000.

Grand total 80,000gp according to the rules in the DMG. Of course, common sense has to be applied. It's not really fair that constant effect cantrips should double the price. But even being as lenient as possible and totalling the price according to each individual ability you still get 4000 from the dex bonus and 1000 each from the cantrips for a total of 16,000gp.

How did you get the price that you put down? Am I missing something?

The gloves are at 1/2 price cause I made them, you'll note the massive chunk of XP devoted to them. I think one of the cantrips came out as 500gp, I'll recheck, that's why it's 7750gp & 620xp.

There is actually errata which changed the increase on secondary costs from the utter ridiculousness of multiplying the most expensive ability by 2 to multiplying the less expensive ability by 1.5, even before it was noncumulative though, so it only applies once. Even so, I actually forgot to modify in. Oops.

 

[Eluvan]

Don't worry, I hadn't forgotten they were half price when you made them. What would be the point of crafting skills otherwise? But I don't see how either of the cantrips could have been 500; the only way that could be so is if it had a duration of 24 hours or more.

I wasn't aware of the errata on the item creation rules - it sounds much more reasonable.

 

[Ferrix]

Will fix when I get home later today.

Still here, playing around with the char. Tell me if this gets urgent ... etools is about to come out with an Eberron data set ("in the next few days") and I wanted to play with it in there.

 

[Eluvan]

Nah, it's not urgent. I've got a lot of work on right now anyway so I probably can't devote the time this deserves for at least a week or so.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*bump*

It's been a week, O Illustrious Yet Busy DM. *Smiles hopefully*

 

[Eluvan]

Indeed... I'm less busy now, so I'm going into full brainstorming mode on this. I'll be ready to start in a few days, I think... I have lots of old 2E material I dug up at my FLGS the other day to pore over (mmm... Faces of Evil), but with my last essay of the semester now out of the way, I'm free to devote much more time to this (along with the other Planescape game I'm running imminently over at planewalker.com. And the Planescape game I'm about to start running IRL. And the Vampire: the Requiem ghame I'm about to start playing in IRL... hoo boy...) so as I say you can expect me to ready within the next few days. If I haven't heard more, and ideally something concrete, from shady by then we might have to go ahead without him.

 

[Ferrix]

bit more work put into Garant, he's back on the prior page updated.

Background, appearance and personality included.

Can't wait to get rolling cause every other game I'm in seems to be at a standstill.

 

[Eluvan]

Okay, cool. I'll give shady until the end of this weekend to post something solid. The game will start on Monday if I don't hear from him.
