OOC - [Epic] Scions of the Endless Falls - Full

[TheOneAboveAll]

As far as I can tell the Sun Blade is a +2 Bastard Sword with the +3 Sun Blade Power (+2 additional enhancement versus evil (though it may be double, that is Isida's call), Short Sword/Bastard sword going for it, the sunlight power, double damage versus Negetive energy and undead creatures)

Increasing the Sun Blade to +6 is, well quite frankly, painful because of the way the epic rules work. Any weapon that whose enhancement bonus goes over +5 gets it's cost multiplied by 10.

Thus a +6 Sun Blade would cost 1,620,000. While only making it +5 would only cost 128,000. (Probably, I am not sure that the Sun Blade's ability to increase the Enhancement bonus would make it epic or not. I would be inclined to say no, but make it not an epic weapon either for penetrating dmage reduction, despite it's bonus past +5)

I am not sure I completely understand. Sunblade at +2 [+3?] Add +3 to keep it under epic, but if you anything else it goes to epic. Meanwhile if you make a straight +20 weapon it is just the straight listed cost. Now, what if the weapon was intelligent? What happens then.

I for one feel that the rules for weaponds and armor should be different for those of other magic items. In this regard.

If you want an intelligent magic item, for real, there are some fantastic rules for them in the Book of Eldritch Might III. Tell me the type of weapon you want, and I'll make it up for you. It will cost you some XP as well as gold, but I think I can come up with something pretty cool.

Ok, I now have up both Rogues' Galleries. Please adhere to the format quite strictly.

Is that intended just as an example, or is Fairweather an NPC who will be with us?

Wrahn, I just touched up my character a little bit and subbed in a level of alienist for druid and noted in the rules that monsters (including I assume a dryad) use ECL for epic level purposes. Since you seem to be so familiar with the nuances of the rules, is there anything obvious that I should think about in improving my character? It seems that everyone else is min-maxing quite a bit and I don't want to be left too far behind. Thanks!

Well what I am looking for is a some combination of the sunblade and the holy avenger. A weapon used by paladins/holy warriors of the sun god. I like the holy power ability but if it is too much no big to do with out it. Can you put together something like that? Any thing else you need to know?

 

[TheOneAboveAll]

Can we use stuff from the Wizards official site?

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

Depends, give me a link, I'll look and tell you.

I shall get right to work on your sun blade/holy avenger. I may not be able to duplicate those exact powers, but I shall try as hard as I can.

Bard-only spell, all the way at the bottom?

Also, how much would it cost me to have my (already intelligent) weapon cast haste and alter self on me when I draw it? Also, can we mix and match the specials from your source and the usual one? I'd like to get the 200,000 gp special purpose ability of true resurrection once per month.

Hmmm... Come to think of it, would I be able to get a reversed ability to do likewise, for the same cost (400,000 for both ) That is, the ability to recreate my weapon once per month, as good as new, as long as I remain attuned to it via Item Familiar?

On that same subject, what should I do about the Invest Life Force ability? It grants bonus XP in exchange for what you give up, but I suppose that should only count for XP I gain in game.

Isida,

Did you notice my question about the Unearthed Arcana Variant Rules about buying back Level Adjustment with experience? Not trying to press here, just making sure you saw it.



perivas,

I am flattered by the request. Let me look over your character a little and see what I can figure out.

One thing about the Alienist, they specifically mention Summon Monster with the Alienist ability, I would make sure with Isida it works with Summon Natures Ally as well. (I think it is a letter rather than the spirit but you should check to be sure)

What are you looking at doing with the character, are you happy with what you can do and are looking for a general increase in power or are you looking for a more focused character?
