Recosting Magic Items in MIC = Blatant Power Creep...er..Power Charge?

[Nightfall]

Dog,

I prefer to keep my navel clear of metal. Unless it's in a fight and I die...

Toe rings are fine.

 

[DM_Matt]

So, where's this recosting revealed?

Seconded. Besides the blurb that mentioned that items will be "more affordable," I can't find any information on this.

"Art of torchbearing" is not what I said. If you take sunrods out of the game, first level characters do not want to move around the dungeon with a torch in their hand. It adds a tiny amount of extra strategy to the game, and makes it more likely the party will hire a porter (which can be fun).

So I guess you wouldn't allow me to mount a light source on my shield, huh?
Or have continual flame cast on my shield?
Or glue an ever-burning torch to my shield?
Or play a dwarf or half-orc?

I guess I have to hire an NPC to carry a torch for me. Sigh.

What about Craft "Origami" hong?

WTF is an Origami Hong?

Are you TROLLING me, "Nightfall", if that IS your REAL NAME?

Well personally, I don't wear rings of any type, but on some characters, I could definitely see rings all over.

 

[Dog Moon]

I think it's you made out of paper. And if the creator is REALLY skilled, he can make your arms flap.

 

[Nightfall]

Dog,

Yeah erm..something like that.

Hong,

Calm down...it's just a comma splice.

I just want the One ring myself. The other D&D rings suck compared to that.

So I guess you wouldn't allow me to mount a light source on my shield, huh?

Correct. You can hold one in a light shield hand, but not with heavy or two handed weapons. With a glowrod you can just stick it in your belt.

Or have continual flame cast on my shield?

My players can do this.

Or glue an ever-burning torch to my shield?

Correct.

Or play a dwarf or half-orc?

I guess I have to hire an NPC to carry a torch for me. Sigh.

That is incorrect. The goal isn't to force hiring a torchbearer, but to make it slightly more advantageous, especially at first level. Or you can wield a torch, but is slightly less convenient than a sunrod.

And this is just in one of my grittier campaigns. In my Eberron campaign glowrods are fine.

 

[Nightfall]

You still haven't said anything about toe rings, nose rings, or craft Origami, for magic paper stuff.
