Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kelleris" data-source="post: 1797578" data-attributes="member: 19130">Just a few quick comments.  I'm working on finishing up all of the planar touchstones tonight, and I will also try to get to proofing characters.  Lucky for you guys I decided to take tonight off, huh?   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />An Imperial Calculus is a rennamed Gnome Calculus.  It costs 50 gp, is exotic, on-handed, weighs 2 pounds, and allows the delivery of alchemical items with a 50-foot range increment.A character in this campaign can reach 6th level purely through training, so you don't see many adventurers or other highly-skilled people lower than that level; they would be considered improperly trained for someone trying to operate on their own.  8th-level characters are thus skilled professionals in their fields, but hardly top-flight just yet.  However, there is also a paucity of higher-level characters, as challenges tend to come fewer and further between at levels above about 13th.  What this means is that there's a large concentration of characters in the middle levels, which helps create the proliferation of power groups each vying with each other that I mention in the setting info.  As a posse of 8th-level characters you guys will be a credible threat to all but the most powerful of groups and individuals.  The downside of this is that there's a huge field of groups and individuals that pose a credible threat to you as well.  Here are some sample people, to help you get the idea:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The average professional in Dromus is a 3rd-level Expert.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The average city guard is a 6th-level Warrior.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The average member in good standing of the Craftsman's Guild is an 8th-level Technologist.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The leader of the fadac chapter in Dromus is a 12th-level Holy Liberator.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Second Guildmistress of the Tower Sorceire is a 15th-level Wizard, and widely considered to be the best wizard in the city.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A Droman elite guardsman (think military Special Ops) is an 6th-level Warrior, 5th-level Expert.  Don't tick them off!   <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/paranoid.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":uhoh:" title="Paranoid    :uhoh:" data-shortname=":uhoh:" /> </li> </ul>Everyone is assumed to start with the higher-order ability of their touchstone, with all uses remaining.  I don't want people to go wandering off to recharge until later in the game.</blockquote>
