[OOC] House Millithor in City of the Spider Queen II

Unless they changed Tenser's in 3.5, the answer is no.

Now you could ride Tenser's Floating Disk if someone else cast it (Icho?).

Bah! I need to research Quertus' Friggin' Cool Floating Disk!

And what the hell about Icho? He's a friggin' Quasit.



...Say, what do I need to do to make a Driftdisc like Matron's, but without the stupid spell additions?

 

[Pyrex]

I always thought it was pretty bizarre that a wizard couldn't ride the disc. Random 2nd ed holdover I suppose.

I always thought that riding the disc was supposed to be it's main function.

Muscle need not think. It's good to be a simple bugbear.

Kilcif does indeed need to think, but at least it isn’t anything philology major would need to contemplate.

I've found out that I get bored with non-spellcaster (=non-wizard) characters much easier than if I play spellcaster -type characters. Especially if playing a bit higher level (7+) game. Strange actually...

No worse than me, the last time I used a magic user I it was 2nd edition... I just do not like magic users/wizards/sorcerers. :shrugs:

Quertus will probably have some use for Kilchif. Soon...

Be sure to as your mommy first, or you’re going to need to pay under the table.

I love this game

Indeed.

Let me read the IC stuff before I read anymore OOC.

 

[Seonaid]

Nope, it's for carrying gigantic amounts of treasure.

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Endur, nope Kilcif wouldn't have gone into the inner fane with out the Matron’s permission… (Though if he heard either a scared Matron Ki'Willis and Carcelon or the sounds of combat he would have gone in.)

Which with the permission issue that reminds me that neither would vampires. (can't cross a threshold)

 

[Xael]

Endur:

Hom much would it cost for Quertus to turn Sarduel's robe to complete copy of his own robe (meaning looks)? Red somewhat passes with black, but I'm not sure if I want the chance in style...



Also, how the hell is Intelligent Item Creation handled? Is it:

A) Caster decides item's ability scores and cababilities (table 7-30) and pays Gold and XP cost from those. Powers are rolled and added, but don't add to creation costs. Which results in nice way to gain money: "I pay 7500gp and 600 XP to create an intelligent item. Then I sell it for like 100 000 gold pieces..."

B) Caster decides item's ability scores and cababilities (table 7-30) and pays Gold and XP cost from those. Powers are rolled and added, and they are added to creation costs. Which results in possible: "I can make intelligent items! No, wait, I can't because DM rolled too expensive item!"

By the book it would seem as option A...

 

[Pyrex]

To find the item’s specific powers, choose or roll on the appropriate tables below.

(emphasis mine)

It seems to me that once you've chosen ability scores and alignment you can then also choose what powers it gets (and pay for them accordingly). It'd be silly for that part of the process to be random. The table is there for randomly generated weapons, not custom created ones.

Page 288, DMG: "To create an intelligent item, a character must have a caster level of 15 or higher. Time and creation costs are based on the normal item creation rules, with market price values on Table 7-30: Item Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma, and Cababilities (page 296) treated as additions to time, gp cost, and XP cost. The item's alignment is the same as creator's. Determine other features randomly, following the guidelines in the relevant sectinos of this chapter.

And I agree, it doesn't make any sense. I'd be happy to decide the powers myself.

The possibility to earn loads of money though...

*Watching Xael and Pyrex exchange*

Oh yeah, I like playing warriors...
