Message: <blockquote data-quote="Torillan" data-source="post: 1412651" data-attributes="member: 998">For those of you who want to build a magic weapon (or armor, for that matter), choose which "powers" from the list of weapon/armor abilities listed in the DMG you'd like the item to have (including any bonuses to hit/damage/protection) and note the "Market Price modifier". The total for bonuses can't be greater than +10, so obviously higher powers take longer to awaken.  The way it works is this: you need to be a certain level, and then spend XP to "awaken" the latent powers of the item.  Here is an example of how it works:Equivalent Bonus -       +2Required Level -            5 Total XP Weapon -     1,600Total XP Armor/Shield - 800From there each +1 bonus is every 2 levels after 5, (ie 7, 9, 11...)  and doubles the XP needed.All items will start off at +1 (include this in your total!!).  Also, the bonuses are cumulative, so if the first ability is equivalent to +2, you would look at the +3 item level (+1 initial bonus and +2 equivalent) to determine what level you need to be and how much XP you need to spend.  NOTE: I will be giving additional XP toward the item, which can ONLY be used to awaken abilities.(Also, even though you start with only a masterwork item, something will happen early in the story to "start" the +1 bonus.)   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> When you choose which powers you'd like, make a story behind the weapon (where it came from, who made it, etc.).  I will make final decisions on abilities once you send me your list and story.  E-mail them to me (torillan@aol.com), that way they can remain "mysterious" to the other players.  You're free to discuss the items amongst yourselves, I think it helps keep a mystique about each of you.  If this seems confusing (I have a tendency to do that to people), let me know.  We can work out details while we wait for Voadam to get back from his business trip (Voadam - I can work out the details of what you want to use for you if you send me a list before you go; we can fix it when you get back).  Then, we can start!!!!</blockquote>
